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.
Located on the west coast of the island, the port of Kythnos is found in the town of Merichas. The port is comprised of crystal clear waters, yachts and fishermen dotted around the outside of the bay. Around the port area, the marina offers a range of restaurants predominantly serving seafood, taverns, bars and cafes all expecting the arrival of many visitors and tourists. The marina is one of the liveliest and most upbeat places on the island, with many passengers passing through each day. The pier has undergone a slight renovation over the years; in 2000 it was expanded to accommodate large passenger vessels that went parallel to the beach. The renovation to accommodate tourists has actually increased the amount of tourism, meaning that the marina may have to extend its parameters once more. Due to the port’s popularity, many new amenities have opened business around the area, consequently many of the permanent residents have relocated closer to the pier. Away from the port, the naturally beautiful landscapes are the main attraction of the area. Striking mountains, secluded beaches and traditional stoned houses laying on paved streets showcase why Kythnos is considered one of the most desirable out of the Greek Islands. Transport around the island is relatively limited, though it is possible to cover many of the major sights by foot. It is best advised to get a taxi to the port, however, it is worthwhile to negotiate a price before entry.
