![]() We loved Kafeneion – I Palia Agora, where you can sit in the alley and devour the tastiest treats. Here, you’ll find plenty of little seafront bars and restaurants that serve up some tasty Greek treats. It’s quintessentially Greek, with whitewashed little houses and cobbled alleys – it’s just stunning. Once in Paros, be sure to stay in or visit the gorgeous town of Naousa. For ease with the ticketing, we booked ours on FerryScanner and just showed our QR code when boarding. This is exactly what we did and loved every moment we took the ferry from Santorini (direct to Paros) and it was totally easy and super fast. This all makes Paros one of the best islands to visit in the Cyclades to visit whilst island hopping. Plus, it’s a lot less busy than the more popular spots of Santorini, too. Not too far from Naxos or Ios, Paros is another gem of an island that has so many similarities to Mykonos (beautiful town and coastline), without the hefty price tag.

Their fresh fish is so good.įinally, when in the main town, be sure to grab a table at O! Hamos! Tavern. Here, you’ll find Medusa, a restaurant, that serves up some traditional Greek food that’s just so yummy. You’ll take in the likes of Kleftiko and the cave of Sykia which are just so beautiful.įor a bite to eat, hop over to the picturesque harbour village of Mandrakia It’s tiny, beautiful and totally intimate. These will get you to the hidden spots around the west part of Milos that are all inaccessible by land. Just be sure to take plenty of sunblock and drinks and snacks with you there are no amenities here and the sun can get really intense.ĭon’t forget to book an intimate boat tour (less than 10 people) around Milos, too. Filled with beautiful coves, gorgeous beaches and the iconic Sarakiniko Beach (on the north part of Milos) it’s a spot that’s best enjoyed chilled.Īfter arriving be sure to spend some time enjoying the crystal-clear waters of Sarakiniko. It’s just incredible and has been something of a favourite with Greek people for many decades. Milos is one of the best islands to visit in the Cyclades to visit for its gorgeous coastline.

You can easily spend a week visiting Mykonos, taking in Mykonos Town, spending time on the beaches and just chilling – we loved it for that.Īfter arriving, be sure to explore Mykonos Town and stop off for sunset drinks at Bao’s Cocktail Bar (our favourite) and grab a table on the veranda at Kastros (again, at sunset). In fact, I’d go as far as saying it’s one of the best islands to visit in the Cyclades if you fancy a good mix of fun, history and a gorgeous Greek Island. Yes, that is part of Mykonos (and a fun part if you fancy going for a party. Often known as the party island of Greece, Mykonos is so much more than its glamourous beach clubs and on-trend bars.

Mykonos As I said, it can get busy and taxis can be scarce at peak times. ![]() Now, what I would say is to book yourself a guided winery tour of the vineyards that are so special! Not only will it allow you to visit quite a few but you won’t have to worry about driving or transport when wanting to taste the wines.įinally, if you need taxi transfers to the ferry port or airport, then book a transfer in advance. ![]() You’ll even notice lots of the vines (that are much shorter in Santorini than traditional vineyards) all across the island. There are quite a few that we visited across the island (Santo Wines and Venetsanos Wines, to name a few) and they’re totally delicious. Oh, and don’t forget about the vineyards that are so special in Santorini. You can book either the morning or sunset tour and the group is always small, with under 20 persons onboard. Once here, be sure to check out the sunset in the clifftop town of Oia (gorgeous, even if it does get busy), and visit Thera for its little bars and restaurants along the caldera itself.Īctually, talking about the caldera, make sure to book yourself on a small-group catamaran tour (like we did) of the caldera, stopping off at the volcanic hot springs and snorkelling spots at both the White and Red Beaches. Though don’t let any of that put you off, I’d say that you have to visit Santorini – it’s just stunning and a perfect spot for anyone that wants a quintessential Greek island holiday of sunsets, lovely restaurants and gorgeous views.
