🌅 Santorini

Santorini's iconic blue-domed churches and caldera views are spectacular, but the island is overrun in summer — cruise ships disgorge thousands daily, Oia's sunset viewpoint is a gridlocked mob, and hotel prices rival Paris.

🏝️ Milos

Milos has over 70 beaches — more than any other Greek island — including the otherworldly Sarakiniko, with its moon-like white volcanic rock. The fishing village of Klima has colourful boathouses you can stay in, and the whole island feels like Santorini did 30 years ago.
