Hello guys. My partner just bought tickets for an August trip to the Cyclades. This will be our third trip. Skipping Mykonos this time (been twice) and instead trying some new islands (been to Santorini, Ios, Paros). We're planning Milos, Folegandros and Naxos (been once and loved Plaka Beach - stunning!) Wondering what you think of Milos? Any canceled ferries in Folegandros due to meltemi winds? Do you think we'll be bored three days in Folegandros (looks so small and remote)? Did the Chora stay lively till midnight at least for dinner and drinks? Thanks for the videos and any advice.
Thank you for your comment and for watching. Milos is wonderful, it has great sights and a lot of good food. It is one of the main volcanic islands in the same volcanic rim as Santorini, so there are some volcanic activity there. We didn't experience any cancelled ferries due to meltemi. Nowadays the Sea Jet Ferries are pretty robust. We did not get bored in Folegandros, the Chora is wonderful and lively and has a lot of restaurants and bars busy all the way through midnight. We hired a scooter and went all the way to the end of the island to smaller villages with great eateries. But when you travel between the islands with ferries, always count a day or two for a buffer before any flights so you are not stranded because of strikes or winds.
Thanks for your reply. We definitely don’t want to risk missing our return flight to New York so we’ll be back in Athens area our last night in Greece. Do you have any suggestions where to stay along the coast near Athens, any nice seaside village or beach town we could spend the last day? We prefer not to stay in Athens town since we’ve already done the sights. By the way, I see you are in Mexico now and visited the coast around Puerto Vallarta. We have a condo in PV and hope to retire there part-time. It’s a very gay friendly town and the Mexican people are so kind. Someday we will follow in your footsteps and check out all the places you’re seeing. Enjoy!
We haven't stayed outside of Athens, but it seems that Vougliameni is a nice area on the coast outside of Athens. We didn't go to PV as we thought it is too touristy and built up. We opted for Sayulita which already was a bit too busy and loud. We prefer to Oaxaca coast, it's more quiet and simple. But someday we might visit you guys...
Hi I just discovered your channel, searching for Greek Cycladic Islands. Very informative and well made videos. Which were your top 3 Cycladic islands ? Also you should mention where u stayed. Thanks
Hello and welcome to the channel. Thank you for watching. Our favorite cycladic islands were Koufunissia, Amorgos and Folegandros. We agree, we should mention where we dtay and actually are doing now since a while. If you are interested in one of the accommodations, just ask and we will let you know.
The Way We Saw It thanks for replying. I am thinking to do Sifnos, folegandros and amorgos. What town did u stay in sifnos ? Can't decide between apollonia, vathi, etc
We stayed in Kamares, a lovely sleepy village with occasional excitement when the ferry came in. Wherever you stay, you will need a car or a scooter. If you go in high season, book ahead, we found none on site...
Really have enjoyed watching through your videos. I find them very informative! As Greeks its so nice to see people show our stunning country! We just came back from Folegandros, and we are in love with it. We subscribed to your channel and would love some feedback on our style of video - We just posted one of Folegandros! Am going to binge watch your videos now !!!!
Immersive Travel Stories Thank you for your comment! We love Greece and the islands and will return next summer for some new islands to us. We will check out your channel, thanks for sharing.
Well be sure to be in touch when planning your trip. We have been to all of the Ionian - but I also do recommend you head to the mainland - It is mostly untouched really. All the best - We are subbed and look forward to more !
I hope you go back to Greece soon !!! I love for you do Amorgos and Tinos or Ionian island love all your videos.
We did go to Tinos last year, the video is still to come... thank you for watching.
Great video, such an amazing location. Thanks for letting us know when you are traveling, helps others plan travels. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much for watching. It is great to get nice feedback, this will inspire us for further work.
The beach is similar to the one in Skiathos Island, the Lalaria beach which I think is yet better ! Congratulations very beautiful your videos!
+Francisco Muñoz Thank you for your comment. We need to travel to Skiathos then, always new things to discover...
You eat soutzoukakia (not meat balls actualy) with pasta, my mom's best cookin'
+Απόλλων Θηρευτής I guess we definitely have to come to your place to try your meatballs
Be my guest, that's my pleasure
