It doesn’t have the vertiginous tumble of whitewashed houses or hipster-cool cachet of Santorini or Mykonos, but what Milos does have is authenticity.
After the intense beauty of Santorini and Mykonos, the small Greek island of Milos is a breath of underrated fresh air. It doesn’t have the vertiginous tumble of whitewashed houses and blue-domed roofs of the first or the hipster-cool cachet of the latter, but what it does have is authenticity.
It’s this slender neck that we head towards, skirting the gentle curve of the harbour and driving up and over the low hills here towards the beachside hamlet of Kipos. We stop once more on the way back, at an isolated cove where we swim and dive and jump into the waters before repairing to the top deck with a cold beer for the rest of the return trip to Kipos and the 30-minute drive to Pollonia on the far north-east of the island.Pollonia is a relaxed seaside harbour village with a sandy beach, a small marina and a series of understated restaurants overlooking water where families splash with young children.
