Adventures By Lana

If you only do one thing while in Greece… make it a boat tour around the island of Milos 🌊🇬🇷

I saw photos of that electric aqua water on Instagram before our trip and honestly thought it couldn’t possibly look like that in real life…

It does. It looks exactly like that!! Actually even better 🥹

Here’s exactly what our boat day looked like!!

And don’t forget to save this for your Milos trip!! 🗺

☀️ Board the boat first thing in the morning
🌊 Sail to a crystal blue swimming spot and dive in
🍺 Enjoy a cold Greek beer on the deck
🍽 Sit down for a delicious Greek lunch on board
🪨 Then arrive at the famous Kleftiko Caves…
🚤 Explore the caves and secret lagoons on a smaller dinghy boat
💙 Swim in what I can only describe as Gatorade blue water
🧗 And cliff jump straight into the sea!!

Honestly one of the most magical days of my entire life 😭

We went with Polco Sailing and would 100% recommend them!! The tour is about $200/person and SO worth it.

The only regret I have is not booking the tour that goes to Polyaigos island too!

Comment BOAT and I’ll send you my full blog post with all the details on our day and what tour we booked!! 💌

Is Milos on your bucket list?! 🙋‍♀️

POV: you only have 3 days in Milos and want to see the BEST of the island 😭🌊🐚

Save this itinerary because Milos seriously ended up being one of my favorite places in Greece!!

Between the unreal beaches, cliff jumping spots, sailing tours, and cute fishing villages… I already want to go back!

Here’s exactly how we spent 3 days in Milos🫶🏼

☀️ DAY 1
Start your trip at the iconic Sarakiniko Beach before the crowds show up! Then head over to the adorable fishing village of Firopotamos where you can swim and cliff jump right into the sea.

For lunch, grab seafood at Medusa in Mandrakia (the octopus was SO good), then explore the stunning Papafragas Caves.

End the day with sunset dinner in Pollonia overlooking the water 🤍

⛵️ DAY 2
Boat tour day!! This was honestly one of the highlights of our entire Greece trip.

Spend the day sailing around Milos and swimming in the insanely blue water at Kleftiko Caves 🏴‍☠️

If you can, book a FULL day sailing tour that also stops at Polyaigos Island because it looks unreal 🌊

Finish the night with sunset dinner in Plaka or Klima! 🌅

🏖️ DAY 3
Start your morning at Tsigrado Beach (you climb down a ladder to get there 👀) before relaxing at Firiplaka Beach.

Then head to Paleochori Beach where you can swim in volcanic hot spring water and have dinner right on the beach. Sirocco literally cooks food in the volcanic sand!!

Milos is SUCH a dream island and feels more adventurous and laid back compared to Santorini or Mykonos ✨

Would you visit Milos?! 🐚

Dreaming of visiting Santorini someday? 🇬🇷💙

Here’s your mini guide to one of the most iconic Greek islands — from where to stay to how to get around, plus some of the BEST things to do while you’re there ✨

Santorini is famous for its whitewashed cliffside villages, blue domes, caldera views, incredible sunsets, and volcanic beaches… and honestly, it really does feel like a dream in person 😭

Here are a few things I wish I knew before visiting 👇

📍 WHERE IS SANTORINI?
Santorini is part of the Cyclades Islands in Greece and is located about 126 nautical miles from Athens.

✈️ HOW TO GET THERE
You can either fly or take a ferry! If you’re island hopping around Greece already, ferries are usually the easiest option since direct flights between islands can be limited.

🏨 WHERE TO STAY
Most people stay on the northwestern side of the island in Oia, Imerovigli, or Fira for those iconic caldera views.

We stayed at Kaleidoscope Cave Houses and absolutely LOVED it 🤍

🚗 HOW TO GET AROUND
There are a few options:
• Rental car or ATV
• Public buses
• Taxis/private transfers

We personally regretted not renting a vehicle because the buses were super slow and crowded during peak season 😅

🍴 BEST PLACES TO EAT
Some of our favorites:
• Sunset Ammoudi by Paraskevas
• Pitogyros in Oia
• Thalami Restaurant
• Melenio Cafe

🌊 MUST-DO ACTIVITIES
• Fira to Oia hike
• Cliff jumping in Ammoudi Bay
• Sunset catamaran cruise
• Visiting the black sand beaches
• Wine tasting
• Sunrise photos before the crowds show up

Santorini is definitely one of the more expensive Greek islands, but the views are honestly unreal and it’s such a bucket list destination ✨

Have you ever been to Santorini?! 🇬🇷
