Laying to the south of Greece, Milos is one of the many Greek Islands that are a popular destination for holidaymakers. The only ferry route from Milos is to Piraeus, another Greek Island, with crossings lasting from just over two hours to over six hours, and running several times per week. After visiting the uniquely colourful and engrossing rock formations stretching across the shores of the island, it is easy to see why Milos is regarded as ‘The Island of Colours’. The volcanic island has become a hotbed of tourism over the past few years, with the ancient buildings near the luxurious beaches proving to be an alluring combination. For couples looking for a romantic getaway, Milos is the perfect place; myriad of beautiful walking trails are lined across the land, offering views of idyllic sunsets and glorious surroundings. For a historical experience, the museums are a worthwhile way to spend an afternoon, especially on the rare occasion when the weather isn’t as warm as usual. To witness the beautiful aesthetics Milos has to offer, head to the impressive Ancient Theatre, which lays in the Ancient City of Fylakopi. The whole experience in the Ancient City of Fylakopi is fascinating, and to continue the historical theme, the Catacombs of Tripiti Village portray the traditional values of the island. There is a relative lack of public transport on Milos, so by car or taxi may be the best way to get around. Taxis are readily available throughout the island, though it may be best advised to negotiate a price before entry.
Koufonissi is a small island belonging to Greece, and a former community in the Cyclades. The island got its name of Koufonissi, which is literally translated as ‘Hollow Islands’, due to the many huge caves that are dotted around the shores, giving the impression to pirates that the islands were hollow. The island is popular for those that are looking for a relaxing holiday on the beach, basking in the sun and admiring the beautiful landscapes. There are no bars or clubs on Koufonissi; any noise heard in the evening will be from the conversations of diners enjoying the delicious food and ambience of the restaurants. There are no cars on the island, therefore all visitors are required to travel by foot. Fortunately it is small enough to walk across in just about a day, with the main beaches being in relatively close proximity to each other. For the more adventurous, there are boat excursions on offer throughout the day, allowing visitors the chance to swim around the azure waters of the Aegean Sea. The ferry routes from the port cross to several of the other Greek islands; they are typically very short with the majority lasting under an hour, and the longest taking around four hours.
