Tourists looking for a fantastic holiday destination in Greece are always spoilt for choice.<\/p>\n

The Mediterranean country offers amazing beaches, fantastic food and supreme entertainment to its visitors, depending on what they are looking for.<\/p>\n

However, oftentimes the most beloved Greek destinations are overrun by tourists in a way that could spoil the experience.<\/p>\n

In 2022 alone, Corfu counted almost 1.7 million arrivals by plane, while Crete saw a whopping 4.7 million tourists landing on its shores, according to data provided by the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority and Institute of the Association of Greek Tourist Enterprises.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, one destination often overlooked by visitors that can offer the same beauty and fun as other Greek locations is Milos, the southwesternmost island in the Cyclades group.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Often referred to as the “island of colours” due to its crystalline waters and the curious colour of its soil to which past volcanic activity contributed, Milos is home to some 5,000 people.<\/p>\n

Counting more than 70 beaches, numerous hot springs and ancient catacombs, the island can provide the perfect destination for adventurous activities and relaxing breaks.<\/p>\n

And the fact it is seldom visited compared to Crete or Corfu means tourists can enjoy Milos through the eyes of its locals.<\/p>\n
