SANTORINI TO MILOS, GREECE
From Santorini to Milos was just 75 nautical miles. Natalie wasn’t feeling well so I went to shore alone. The ride on the tender took 10 minutes (they departed every 15 to 20 minutes) and when I got off, I asked one of the returning passengers how Milos was. He said that if you time it right, you can catch the same boat back. Ha!
MILOS, GREECE
I actually had fun exploring the cute little village for a couple of hours. I strolled the main streets of Plaka, the island's whitewashed capital. The island is low-key and filled with European vacationers and few Americans, which I like when I travel to Europe.
RENTAL APARTMENT
At first I found myself walking behind a small group of backpackers who’d arrived on a huge Greek ferry and I overheard a family negotiate a rental apartment for 50 euros a night. Great deal!
EXPLORING MILOS
There’s not a lot to see but it’s a quintessential Greek island complete with colorful fishing boats. I walked to the church where I snapped my best photo of the whole trip. Then I ventured about a mile or so along the shore to check out the popular beaches. Like in Santorini, there were plenty of little buggies and motorbikes for rent.
MILOS BEACHES
If Natalie had been with me, we would have dined at one of the casual seaside restaurants. Instead, I ended up at the most crowded beach, which was depressingly dirty. Before retuning to the boat, I hit the bakery and bought some local treats for Natalie but since she wasn’t feeling well, she passed on them and I ended up eating them. Just what my Buddha belly needed.
DID YOU KNOW? The most famous statue to come out of Milos was the Venus de Milo, originally called Aphrodite of Mylos. It was discovered here in 1820 and she now resides in the Louvre in Paris.
