Mirabeli Studios Milos

... we managed to get a shot of me jumping off ten+ meter cliffs into the ocean. Mirna conquered her fear of heights and jumped of a very large rock, without screaming. We then just lay around in the sun, and fell deeper in love with Milos. Besides the heavenly water, and sparkling beaches there is, how shall i put it, cheese. Yesterday we ate the best grilled and spicy goats cheese. And for a couple cursed with lactose intolerance we can proudly say it was worth it.

... sand and dirt across the island. The sand and dirt got into our eyes, throats, and noses and made it quite unpleasant. However, we rented a quad (no more weak Suzuki cars for us) to head to a protected cove away from the wind. We found a nice little beach bar and area set up on a cove and decided to spend the afternoon there. The sunning area was actually a flat landing of paved rocks and concrete that had been built out over the water and had a variety of lounge chairs and tables ...

... wide. It is quiet with only 600 year round residents and just three villages.

The scenery here is spectacular with 1,000 ft. cliffs towering over the clear blue and turquoise waters of the Mediterranean sea with many beautiful small coves and small beaches tucked among the cliffs.

We stayed at Hotel Anemousa. It was a great, inexpensive place perched on a cliff above the sea. The views were great and the rooms were very, very ...

... per serving. We decided, after some debate that before we leave Milos we are going to Order again this fish feast. What the heck, I know that I must put down at least some 20 kilos...buy why now and why in Milos? The tavern across the road belongs to Costas, in his large veranda all Around the place the philosophical discussions take place very seriously. Observing all the tables and expecting some reward you will see several Dogs and a crowd of cats ...

... food was delicious and the atmosphere was simply amazing! There we were, seated in the middle of a whole lot of people with different languages ringing in our ears – good food, cool evening breeze, clear sky – we could not have asked for anything more!

It was a perfect ending for a tiring but adventurous day! Let’s hope tomorrow will be a yet better day than today!

... there is a difference between a “tourist restaurant” and a “local restaurant” !

We made a pact that from then on, Argi will be the one picking our eating place and not me!

That night, we had the best sleep we have ever had for a long, long time. We did so much in one day and I instantly fell in love with this island, just as I had fallen in love with Pelion.

... were halted for 4 days. Luckily since we arrived in Milos the weather has turned nice. Milos is the last island before we head back to Athens to pack up all the stuff to send back to Dubai, so we are pleased for the nice weather as it means that we are able to get back to the beaches and back in the sea. Milos is a bit like Santorini (not as dramatic as Santorini but close) with the ...

... and looked like huge freshly baked home-made Pavlovas! My eyes were quite literally popping out of my head for this entire tour, and l also met some fabulous people and made some new friends (including lovely Silpa who is moving to Melbourne soon!). And to top off the perfect afternoon, l had the best night out in Milos starting with Sarah and l sharing a great Veggie pizza as we watched the sunset on the port and then indulging in the biggest waffle l have ever seen! We ...

Today we decided to rent a car! It is so easy to rent thing abroad, we gave them our expired driver license and they thought nothing of it.haha. We did some off roading down some really hairy dirt paths that went right along the cliffs right down to the ocean, had the best time just driving around and exploring. So then decided that we want to drive ...

... Europe, the house had some interesting history as well. This house was built and owned by Yiayia's Grandfather (I think) and has recently been renovated. Despite Andreas's many and long winded teasings about the holes I would be using as toilets here, to his disappointment (I think), they had recently installed a bathroom with a huge shower and fully functional throne. I was quite relieved and tried it out straight away. Quick note, one must not flush toilet paper ...
