Perched in the Aegean Sea, Santorini dazzles with its whitewashed homes, blue-domed churches, and striking volcanic cliffs. Shaped by an ancient eruption, the island boasts unique beaches in shades of black, red, and white. Visitors can wander through postcard-perfect villages like Oia and Fira, witness legendary sunsets, and savor locally produced wines. Santorini’s rich history comes to life at the archaeological site of Akrotiri, an ancient Minoan settlement frozen in time. With its breath-taking scenery and vibrant culture, Santorini remains a dream destination for many.
Milos, a Cycladic treasure, enchants visitors with its otherworldly landscapes, multi-coloured rock formations, and crystal-clear waters. Home to more than 70 beaches, the island offers unique coastal wonders like the lunar-like Sarakiniko and the hidden caves of Kleftiko. Milos is steeped in history, being the discovery site of the renowned Venus de Milo. Picturesque fishing villages, such as Klima, add to its charm with their colourful boathouses by the sea. Less crowded than Santorini, Milos provides a serene, authentic Greek island escape.
