The Finest Inns in Milos, Instagram’s Trending Summer time Vacation spot

Prime tip for anybody contemplating a vacation in Milos: rent a automobile. A four-wheel-drive car, to be exact. The vast majority of the perfect accommodations, eating places, and seashores are unfold throughout the Greek island, accessible by way of a community of snaking roads—a few of that are slim, steep, and rocky, with the occasional sheer drop on one aspect. ATVs are one other standard mode of transport on Milos, however I’d go for a automobile in order for you a extra snug expertise, particularly in the event you go to within the top of summer time (like I did) when the noon temperatures are upwards of 34 levels Celsius.

In true Zillennial type, I first got here throughout Milos on Instagram, the place I noticed Reels of its scenic views and varied foodie scorching spots. In fact, I wished to discover past the buzzy, vacationer spots, however they have been a great start line to get a really feel for the isle and what it has to supply.

My buddy and I (shout out to her, the designated driver for the journey), traveled to Milos by ferry from Sifnos, choosing a surprising two-and-a-bit journey on a gradual ship, chosen over the tourist-friendly Sea Jets, which I used to be advised can induce sea illness—we didn’t wish to take the chance. We sunbathed on the highest deck, making an attempt to carry onto our spinach and feta pastries (vital delicacy) and books because the Meltemi—the robust summer time wind that takes over the Cyclades—threatened to ship them overboard.

There are memes circulating in regards to the Dune-esque expertise when the bow doorways of Greek island ferries drop down onto land, and I can attest it does really feel fairly otherworldly standing within the automobile park within the stomach of the ship, ready to see what lies forward. First impressions: Milos harbour, Adamantas, is the tourist-y space of Milos. That mentioned, there are a number of good eateries, particularly, O! Hamos!—you possibly can’t guide, so arrive early if you wish to get a desk—and loads of bars if that’s what you’re after. We watched the Euros last in Adamantas and it was positively bustling.
