Discover the beautiful island and end up eating fish and ouzo while enjoying the Aegean Sea
Milos received the best advertisment.. And don’t let anyone say an island like this doesn’t need advertising. The beautiful Milos, then, is among the ten most beautiful islands in the whole world. The list is CNN Travel and as we understand it, it was read a lot. The Greek island and the Cyclades are now in the spotlight.
The list of the 10 best was chosen on the basis of uniqueness, character of the place and of course beauty. And Milos is adored by the travel section of the American website. The visitor will swim in crystal clear waters. Blue or emerald in colour. And in some cases green. The coastline of the island, writes the CNN Travel, has been eroded and natural -wonderful – arches have been created. Beaches and coves invite tourists to discover the natural beauty of the Greek island.
Reference is made to the hinterland but also to the local cuisine, with the necessary note that, in summer, it is overcrowded with people! Although the permanent population is 5,000 inhabitants, in the summer, tourists are several thousand more. The tribute mentions the discovery of Aphrodite of Milos in 1820. Of course, there is a clear call for ouzo and fresh fish by the sea. As a matter of fact, if you don’t do that when in the Aegean Sea for vacation, and especially in the Cyclades Islands,it’s going to be a big mistake.
