Ohhh Milos! How we love thee so much! lol Our trip to Milos was one for the books as we really felt this island pulling on our heart strings. We chose Milos for a few reasons. Mainly, for its incredible landscapes. Milos is known for its sculptural rock formations that adorn the island, which captivated us and left us in awe. We also planned to come to Milos because of its affordability as it is less crowded than its more visited counterparts Mykonos and Santorini. We stayed for 3 days and quickly realized that we had to come back! We think we might have found our favorite island of the Cyclades. Check out our post below on where we stayed, ate, and played.
