Milos - 5/19/26-5/22/26

Milos, a stunning island in Greece, is renowned for its breathtaking natural wonders and pristine beaches. Don't miss the iconic Sarakiniko Beach, with its otherworldly white volcanic rock formations, and the colorful fishing village of Klima, where traditional boathouses line the shore. Rich in history, Milos is home the ancient city of Phylakopi, offering a glimpse into its vibrant past and archaeological significance. Visitors can explore charming villages like Pollonia, indulge in local cuisine, and enjoy activities such as snorkeling, hiking, and boat tours around the island’s unique coastline.

​

Upon arriving at Piraeus Port from Hydra at 9:50AM local time, we will take a 40 minute Uber to Athens airport to fly to Milos. That flight will be 40 minutes long - I have not yet booked that flight; the options are 11:50AM--> 12:30PM; 12:20PM--> 1PM, 3:40PM --> 4:20PM, or 5:55PM--> 6:35 PM.

​

Our place in Milos is a 12-minute drive from the airport (we will be renting a car), and check-in for our spot starts at 4PM local time. We could, however, take a flight before check in as we will have storage space in our rental car for our belongings until then.
