When to visit Milos in Greece? If you dream of calm relaxation, choose this date
Milos tempts tourists for most of the year, but the best time to visit is the period from May to October. Then the temperature lasts above 20 degrees, and the water in the sea is warm enough for bathing and snorkeling. In summer, especially in July and August, the island becomes a popular destination for holiday travels, which is associated with a larger piston on the beaches and higher prices of accommodation. Therefore, if you care about peaceful rest without crowds, September and October is a hit. In these months, the weather is still good, and the hustle and bustle is slowly quiet.
How to get to Milos? You have two options to choose from
You can reach the island in two ways. The fastest option is a flight from Athens. Cruises are operated by small aircraft, and a season ticket can be grown from 25 euros. An alternative is a ferry that flows from the port of Pireus. Although the cruise lasts about 5 hours, amazing views along the way compensate for the time spent on board. On the spot, it is worth renting a scooter or a car to easily reach hidden beaches and villages.
Is it worth going to Milos? Without a doubt. The island has a lot to offer
The Milos Island is a paradise for lovers of beautiful views and nature. It has over 70 beaches, and each of them impresses with a different landscape. Where, for example, is worth going?
- Moon Sarakiniko beach. This is the most recognizable place for Milos. White, volcanic rocks carved by water and wind form a landscape that resembles the surface of the moon. It is best to visit the place just at dawn before crowds of photographers appear.
- Beach with hot sources. Paliochori is a natural SPA created by nature. The beach is surrounded by colorful cliffs, and the water here is warmer thanks to underwater sulfur sources. In a nearby restaurant you can try dishes cooked in hot sand.
- Pirate bay. It used to be a hiding place for sea robbers, today Kleftiko is a must -see point of every sea trip. Rocks growing from turquoise water form picturesque arches and caves, which can be admired from the deck of the boat or during diving.
- Colorful fishing settlement. Klima is a charming, seaside village with houses painted in pastel colors. It is distinguished by garages for motorboats, which are located on the ground floor of each building. Walking with the quay, you can feel the atmosphere of old fishing life and enjoy the silence that is difficult to look for in popular resorts.
- Catacombs in Tripiti. This is one of the most important monuments of early Christianity in Greece. Underground corridors were once a burial place and meetings of the first Christians. It is estimated that they were created in the third century and hide over 2,000 graves. The atmosphere of silence and history makes this place really impressive.
