Greece Travel Guide
Greece enchanted us with its crystal-clear waters, white-washed villages, and ancient history. The islands of Milos and Santorini offered some of the most beautiful coastal landscapes we've ever seen, combined with delicious Mediterranean cuisine and warm hospitality.
Highlights
Exploring the unique volcanic beaches of Milos
Watching the sunset in Oia, Santorini
Swimming in the turquoise waters of Sarakiniko Beach
Enjoying fresh Greek seafood at local tavernas
Travel Tips
Visit in shoulder season (May/June or September) to avoid crowds and high prices
Island hopping is best done by ferry - book tickets in advance during high season
Rent a vehicle to explore the islands fully - ATVs are popular on Santorini
Many beaches in Milos are only accessible by boat or rough roads - plan accordingly
