Milos Island – Cyclades
Milos is perhaps the most exotic island in the Aegean with volcanic rocks changing the color of the beaches to red, orange, and pink. The island of Aphrodite is one of the top romantic destinations along with Santorini. In July you will be saved from the horde of tourists that we normally meet in August in Milos.
The sunset from Panagia Korfiatissa is one of the most beautiful in all of Greece and you must see it. Do not forget to visit the caves of the pirates, Kleftiko, Sarakiniko, the beaches of Paleochori, Papafragkas, Gerontas, and the colorful settlement on the water of Klima.
Read our Milos guide and get a closer look at what the Beach Queen of the Cyclades has to offer!

Syros Island – Cyclades
The small beaches with the calm waters and the unique beauty of Ermoupolis are two of the main reasons to visit Syros. Marble streets, neoclassical houses, and the amazing church of Agios Nikolaos compose only a part of the image of Ermoupolis, undoubtedly one of the most beautiful towns in the Cyclades.
Do not forget to take a walk on the beach of Ermoupolis to visit the beaches of Galissas, Delfini, Kini, Finikas as well as to taste the unique Syrian loukoumi.

In the arms of the Aegean, in the Cyclades, is Santorini (or Thira), one of the most famous tourist centers in the world. You will walk on the Caldera and admire the sunset from Oia while you will definitely visit the unique morphological beaches such as the black beach in Kamari and the red beach near Akrotiri. Do not forget to try local products such as Santorini cherry tomatoes, fava, and capers.
