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.
Found deep within the huddle of Cyclades Isles that speckle the Aegean Sea to the south of Greece, is the cliff-edged island of Ios. This small stretch of land is hewn by long stretches of rugged mountains shaded by the earthy colours of rough Mediterranean scrubland. Nestled on the island’s eastern coast, where the rough shores of a glittering bay have taken a chunk out of the mainland, is the picturesque village of Chora. Much of the village is built upon the steep coastal hillsides; the dazzling white, Cycladic buildings rising in tiers towards the parched heartland. As well as being blessed with warm weather and effortless beauty, the village also possesses a rich history. Dig sites on the nearby Skarkos hill have uncovered evidence that prehistoric settlers once called the island home, with structures proving that the human history of Ios stretches back as far as the early bronze age. The port in Chora is found on the southern edge of the bay, just a short walk from the golden sands of Yialos Beach in the Ios district of the village. It is comprised of a wide, rectangular anchorage that juts into the sea from one corner of the local marina. There are no passenger facilities at the port itself, though a number of snack bars and restaurants selling hot food and drinks line the promenade. Due to the rough and largely remote nature of the island, travelling to the port can prove difficult. Only one road route leads into Chora, with the other lanes in the centre of the village far too steep and narrow for vehicles to negotiate. This road, which cuts across the inland mountains and offers lofty views across the rocky wilds of the lowland countryside, weaves all the way to the island’s southern tip and the small village of Magganari. The rest of the island can only be reached by braving the hills on foot, though no settlement is further than 6-miles away from Chora. A vast range of ferries currently run to and from the port in Ios, mainly on island-hopping trips across the Cyclades. Routes hosted by Blue Star Ferries, Seajets and Hellenic Seaways travel to a multitude of destinations including Naxos, Paros, Thira, Mykonos and the mainland city of Piraeus; a route also traversed by Zante Ferries. Other routes include a longer haul trip to Rafina, as well as to the other island ports of Sifnos, Milos, Kimolos, Kythnos, Serifos, Tinos, Folegandros and Heraklion. All of these voyages across the Aegean Sea routes operate at various times throughout the week.
