Milos and Sifnos are part of the Cyclades Islands, in Greece; unlike Santorini Island and Mykonos Beach, these islands are not visited by many. Milos and Sifnos have, in fact, kept their relaxed and discreet atmosphere.

Sifnos, with its crystal clear water, is located three hours away from Athens, if travelling on a hydrofoil boat; this island is the favorite destination for hiking lovers. A scooter or a small car will be needed to visit the most hidden places on the island; places like the village of Apollonia, located on three different hills, Artemonas, with its narrow alleys and old houses, and Kastro, located on the top of a high hill, are a “must see”.

But Sifnos is not only about beaches, trekking, and culture, it is also about food. The island has numerous restaurants where visitors can eat typical local dishes such as mastelo (lamb cooked in wine and dill pickle), moussaka or mizithra (fried bundles of goat cheese). The southern part of the island offers gorgeous beaches like Fassolou and Apokoftos and a small village by the name of Vathi full of pubs and guesthouses.
Because of its high-class visitors, the nightlife at Sifnos is elegant and energetic but never too loud; guests of the island can party until the morning lights.

While Sifnos is visited by a wealthy crowd, Milos is a more popular destination that offers a truly Greek experience. Its tourists, even in high peak seasons, are for the most part Greek; it is rare to hear someone speaking Italian in the streets of Adamas, the little town located near the gulf, point of arrival for the ferries. Just like in Sifnos, people arriving to the port of Milos will bump into landlords that will try to rent their apartments and rooms for the lowest price. Unless visitors have already booked a place, this is probably a good way to find an accommodation at an affordable price.

The town of Adamas, besides being a stop for ferries, is also a connecting point for buses that ride between villages all over the island, such as Plaka and Pollonia. Plaka, rich of restaurants and local craft stores, is located on top of the hill and it offers a breathtaking view of the entire island; from its castle visitors can enjoy unforgettable sunsets. Pollonia, located at the northern part of the island, is the ideal place to organize a boat tour to the small island of Kimolos; here tourists can enjoy its beaches like the Sarakiniko Beach, and Firopotamos surrounded by fishermen houses. Beaches are the main point of attraction for Milos Island; there are so many that even in high peak seasons, it is possible to walk around and to find a corner of tranquility.

The southern part of Milos also offers beautiful beaches all with different characteristics and uniqueness. Among the numerous beaches, there is Paleochori, made of pebbles, Tzigrado, characterized by white pearl stone sand, Firiplaka surrounded by multicolored rocks, and Provatas, with golden and fine sand.

Besides the beautiful beaches, also picturesque are the small fishermen villages of Klima and Mandrakia. The villages have small houses and boat depots with bright colors, that are abandoned during the winter because of high tides. However, in the summertime the village of Klima and Mandrakia come back to life, with octopuses, grilled fish, boats, and children diving into the blue and marvelous sea.
