The port city of Piraeus can be found in the Attica region of Greece along the east coast of the Saronic Gulf about 12 km south west of Athens, the Greek capital. Piraeus is the largest ferry port in Europe and one of the largest in the world when it comes to passenger transportation with services provided by every major ferry company in Greece. Approximately 20 million passengers pass through its doors each year and the port provides the main link between the Greek mainland and the Aegean islands and Crete. Piraeus proves the gateway from the Greek mainland to all of the main holiday destinations in Greece and some of the less popular ones too. Piraeus is also famous for its football team – Olympiakos who regularly feature in the UEFA Champions League.
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.
