Description

Visit a unique picturesque fishing village in the island of Milos

Klima is a rather unique fishing village in the island of Milos because of its architecture. It is built in a way that the houses seem to be so close to the sea that the water almost gets in. The specific architecture is called "Syrmata" and the ground floor that is almost in the sea used to house the boats of the fishermen, who lived in the upper floor.

The colorful paintings of the doors and balconies of these two-storey houses create a wonderful playful atmosphere that is superbly photogenic. The best hour for photographs is the sunset because of the orientation of the village.

The village can be accessed by car - only you have to park just outside and walk a few meters before you arrive at the sea front. It is less that 15min drive from Adamas, which is the main port and largest town in the island.

Nowdays, Klima is touristic enough that you can find cafes and restaurants while some of the Syrmata, have been converted to rental houses and if you choose you may stay there.

Swim at Sarakiniko

Sarakiniko beach is one of the most unique beaches in Milos island. Don't expect to see a sandy beach or something like that. Sarakiniko is landscape formed by white volcanic rocks with complete absence of vegetation, making the whole scenery look like a lunar landscape. It is located on the northern part of Milos and it takes its name from the Sarakines pirates that used it as a base. If you s...

Sail to Kleftiko Beach

At the southwest end of Milos island lies an extraordinary beach named Kleftiko. Kleftiko is by no means a beach in its typical definition but a unique landscape formed by a cluster of volcanic rocks standing above turquoise waters. Kleftiko owes its name to the pirates that were using it as a place to hide (kleftis in greek means thief). It is quite hard to approach it by land - there is only...

Santorini, Greece

Santorini is a fun little Greek island in the Mediterranean Sea. While the island does have a small airport, the most common way to get there is via a ferry from Athens.There are several ferry operators that differ in speed and price. I took a Blue Star Ferry and got to the island of Santorini in about 8 hours. Once on the island you can take a bus from the port to Fira. Here you can either re...

Hike Along the Santorini Caldera from Fira to Oia

I did this 2 years ago and I still rank it as one of the most beautiful days of my entire life. For pretty much the entire walk, you are looking at incredible views over the caldera of the island of Santorini. You will stop constantly to take pictures and say, "wow" so give yourself plenty of time. I rank this as beginner/intermediate because while partfs of it are on cobblestoned streets or pa...

Hike Mount Zas

The birth place for the God Zeus, you enter through the easier part of the mountain called Aria Spring/Cave of Zeus. Getting there from the center of Naxos is about a 12 kilometer 4wheeler ride to the base of the mountain. Travelling is very easy, there are signs up in English to point you in the right direction. You will pass through a few villages with plenty of local restaurants you can stop...
