Lefkes feels like the quiet, stone‑hearted counterpoint to Paros’ busy ports and beach clubs. Perched 350 m up in the hills, it’s wrapped in olive and pine slopes and opens to clear views across to Naxos, a place where the rhythm is set by church bells, the scent of oregano, and the soft clatter of …
If you’re planning a trip to Syros, one of the first big questions is: where should I stay? This small Cycladic island has a surprisingly wide range of accommodations. You can choose between neoclassical mansions that are turned into luxury hotels like Ploes or Argini Hotel. Or you can stay in a traditional stone house in …
Let’s be honest. Gavrio isn’t usually the reason people book a trip to Andros. Everybody arrives in Gavrio (often by ferry from Rafina in Athens), as it is the only ferry port on Andros. But most visitors step off, pick up their rental car, and immediately drive to Batsi or the capital Chora without giving …
There’s a particular kind of magic to arriving with the ferry on Kimolos for the first time. The ferry pulls into Psathi, the whitewashed houses of Chorio glow warm in the afternoon light, and you realize almost immediately that this isn’t an island that’s been polished up for tourists. Kimolos is one of our favorite …
If Andros had a crown jewel, it would undoubtedly be Andros Town, or Chora, the capital of Andros and one of the best places to visit in Andros. When we visited Chora, we expected another pretty Cycladic town with whitewashed houses and a few blue shutters. You know the type. But Chora surprised us. It …
Kimolos is one of those islands that instantly wins you over. The first time we visited Kimolos, we completely fell for its quiet charm, peaceful atmosphere, and authentic Cycladic feel. It is small, unspoiled, and wonderfully calm, and that is exactly why we love it so much. Getting there is easy once you know the …
At first, Antiparos wasn’t really on our radar. We mostly knew it as “that tiny neighbor of Paros,” but the more we heard about its charm, the more curious we became. During our stay on Paros—one of the most beautiful Cycladic Islands—we decided to hop on the short ferry for a day trip. Even though …
Milos feels bigger and more diverse than it looks on the map. You have lively port towns, quiet fishing village or Syrmata, dramatic cliffs, and sandy family beaches, often just a short drive apart. The first decision is whether you want to stay near the main port (Adamas), in a relaxed beach village (Pollonia), in …
Milos is one of the most unique islands in the world. When we visited Milos, we had a week to explore the beaches and charming waterfront fishing villages, and to enjoy the stunning sunset at Plaka. That’s why we’ve put together the ideal 3-day itinerary for you, covering all the must-see highlights of Milos. Renting …
If you are visiting the Greek island of Milos, one of the Cycladic islands, you might wonder how to get around and fully explore the island. While Adamas (the main port) and Plaka (the hilltop village) are walkable, renting a car in Milos is highly recommended if you want to see more than a handful …
