Blue Grotto

Reviewed By bobj378 - London, United Kingdom

We went with Kastellorizo cruises Barbara Boat and we had Captain George at the helm who showed us all the sights before and after we visited the blue grotto, which has to be the best in the Mediterranean and we were lucky enough to see a seal in the grotto.

Kleftiko Beach

Reviewed By elenagliatismel - Glyfada, Greece

I highly recommend the boat tours that sail around Milos island especially the tour that stops at Kleftiko for a swim.The crystal blue waters are irresistible and the scenery is majestic.Enjoying a lunch on board surrounded by 50 shades of blue waters.One must not miss the boat tour when visiting Milos Island.It is an unforgettable experience.

Hiking Trail Fira - Oia

This is the most obvious hike you can make on the island of Santorini and it will lead you - if you have not discovered them by now - through the sister villages of Fira, Firostefani and Imerovigli, going higher up all the time above the caldera. It then continues through the expanding housing in northern direction and it finally goes to Oia via a really magnificent path. This hike offers many changing views on the volcano, the sea and the caldera. This hike takes two hours and a half (actual walking time), but the total time can reach 4 or 5 hours. It is ideal to leave Firà at about 10am and in this way you will arrive in Oia already between 1 and 2pm. You can then eat in Oia in one of the many bars. In the afternoon you can descend to the little harbour of Ammoudi in Oia. From the bus square in Fira (when you get to Fira by bus) you have to continue to the very busy square of Theotokopoulou. This is the modern centre of Fira with a lot of travel agencies, banks and bars. In the corner, in between the George's Snack Corner and the Pelican travel agency you go left, in the direction of the caldera. You can then take one of the three streets off the right, they all lead towards the higher part of Fira. Once at the Archaeological Museum higher up (this museum is open till 3pm, but not on Mondays), take a left, past the upper station of the cable car. You then go right above the caldera, until the red-brown building higher up that dominates this neighbourhood of Firostefani: it is the P.M. Nomikos Conference Centre, where a lot of exhibitions take place – on the extending corner in front of this building many people take pictures of the marvellous panoramic view. On the left of the Centre you follow the tiled road and stairs, while you enjoy the view – in front of you you can see the even higher situated village of Imerovigli.

We took the bus from Oia towards Fira and asked the bus driver to let us off in Imerovigli. The nearby tourist office told us where to find the cliff walk trail. It was great to begin in Imerovigli, because then you are walking downhill to Fira. The views are fabulous, and there was a nice cooling breeze. We had good walking shoes and enjoyed seeing Skaros rock in the distance, the Mylos windmill, and the gorgeous blue domed church and 3 bell tower just beyond the Mama Thira Taverna. There are so many picturesque white washed dwellings, wildflowers, and stunning caldera views that it is a photographer's dream. We took the bus from Fira back to Oia. It was a great morning walk!

Ancient Karthea

Reviewed By sebastiank173

If you don't know where to start, leave your car at 37.5702806, 24.3163551. Route number 6 it's a easiest one. It will take you to main beach. Perfect place for snorkeling. 3m from shore you can enjoy wildlife, unlike popular beaches where is only sand. If you climb to the ruins with columns, there is path down to even more remote beach. Ruins are nice, yes but don't forget your swimming suits and beach towels.

Sifnos Trails

Sifnos Trails is the name of the hiking trails network of the island of Sifnos in the Aegean Sea, Greece. The network has a total length over 100 km, divided in 19 beautiful trails.

Reviewed By marki786 - Dunbar, United Kingdom

A fantastic network of well way marked trails. On a couple of occasions I found it a little hard to find the start of a trail but once you are on them it’s almost impossible to get lost. No 1 offers a bit of everything, villages, olive groves and the coast and can be combined with a section of No3 to create a loop starting and ending with Artemonas/Apolonia with a handy lunch stop at Kastro. There are a selection of maps available from the bookshop in the square in Apolonia and I would recommend picking one up to help locate the start of some of the trails and also to make it easier to combine trails. There are local guides that will take you on the trails but if you are even halfway confident navigating then you won’t need one.

Mylopotas Beach

A peaceful, clothing-optional beach, great for swimming and sunbathing.

Reviewed By RELAXED000 - Sydney, Australia

We arrived midday to the island so we got to the beach by 2pm there where not many sunbeds available, lucky enough we did find a large cabana style for the 4 of us that offered lots of shade as well as sun! The service is good, you can also order food and drinks on the beach. Prices are very affordable compared to most Greek islands. The sand is amazing and the water super clean. Just a reminder there is a lot of rock that is slippery when entering the water but once u swim past it u are on sand. Also there are spots that have just sand not so much rock . Definitely a must when u visit iOS!

Water slides, artificial waves, pools with original games for all ages and for real endless summer fun.

Visited this with my parter and as a couple in our 30s were unsure if we’d last the day. Arrived at 11am and the next 6 hours seemed to fly by. My partner who isn’t a massive fan of WaterParks went on every ride and loved the day. My biggest recommendation is to either wear socks or water shoes. The park is massive and walking from ride to ride barefoot with the sun bearing down is painful. You could use flip flops but these have to be removed on rides meaning you have to go all the way back to collect them. The best ride was the inflatable in the kids section(there was way more adults than kids on it)
