Take the Quiz →Milos might be the most dramatic island in the Cyclades, and one of the most unique in terms of experience depending on where you choose to base yourself. Between the lunar-white cliffs of Sarakiniko, the red rocks of Firiplaka, the bustling center of Plaka, and the colorful fishing villages tucked into hidden coves, your visit can feel completely different based…
Read the PostLast updated August 2026 After visiting over twenty Greek Islands, I still maintain that Milos, Greece is one of the most picturesque islands you’ll ever see. Between the unforgettable beaches (if you haven’t checked out photos of the ‘moonscapes’ of Sarakiniko Beach, check them out ASAP), delicious fresh seafood, and quaint downtowns, it’s truly a slice of paradise. Milos has…
Read the PostNaxos isn’t the first island that comes to mind when people ask me to name a beautiful, authentic Greek island, though it has plenty to offer on both fronts. It’s often labeled the “family-friendly” island, or the greenest of the Cyclades, and I understand why. It has more long stretches of sandy beach than most islands I’ve visited, and it’s…
Read the PostLast updated August 2026 Astypalea landed on my radar about five years ago, and I’ve been wanting to visit it ever since. Its unusual butterfly shape lends a different feel to the island, creating a unique set of beaches and a breathtaking hilltop Chora with views stretching across both wings of the island. Astypalea has been called the Santorini of…

Whether you’re a photographer, a content creator, or someone who just wants to know exactly where to stand and when to show up, this guide is for you. These seven locations are the most photogenic spots in the Cotswolds,…
Read the PostI’ve been to the Cotswolds a number of times now, and each trip has looked completely different depending on where I chose to stay. The first time, we prioritized the location rather than the property itself, choosing to stay within optimal distance of Castle Combe and Bibury. The second, I stayed at a cozy inn with a pub downstairs that…
Read the PostSifnos is becoming one of the most talked-about islands in the Cyclades, and it’s easily one of the most family-friendly Greek Islands I’ve been to. The food scene alone is enough to put it on the map (it’s long been known as Greece’s ‘foodie island’) and the restaurant quality here would hold its own against some major cities. But what…
Read the PostSerifos doesn’t show up on most people’s Greek Islands shortlist, and that’s exactly what makes it worth visiting. While nearby Sifnos and Milos continue to gain popularity, Serifos has remained the slow island alternative: rugged, unhurried, and low-key. It’s the kind of island where the beaches shift from wild and windswept to perfectly calm depending on the day. What originally…
Read the PostLast updated May 2026 Like every Greek Island, Mykonos has its own unique character that sets it apart from the rest. It’s the most glamorous island in Greece; but also the most expensive! Like Santorini, it’s not the island for an authentic, slow Cycladic experience, and I’d be doing you a disservice to suggest otherwise. But if you’re here for…
