Especially for her Apple the publication states: “Volcanic Milos is an island of colors, with rock formations in shades of red, yellow and blinding white. Similarly bright are the doors and windows that adorn the traditional Sirmata – the huts found only around Milos and neighboring Kimolos, carved into the soft volcanic rocks by fishermen sheltering their boats for the winter. Some have been converted into quaint lodgings right on the water’s edge. On land, look for the catacombs (the only ones on a Greek island), the ancient theater and the replica of Aphrodite of Milos, which mark the spot where the original was found.”

THE Tinos is presented with the following comment: “In recent years, the Cycladic Tinos has become famous as an island of gastronomy. Blessed with fertile land and a consequent abundance of local produce, it is a magnet for chefs from nearby Athens, who often leave their hometown restaurants in the warmer months for the island. Tinos Food Paths, a gastronomic festival celebrated every year in the second week of May, marks the beginning of the season of delight. Come join the summer celebration: start the morning drinking bright Greek coffee with a crisp leaf. Fuel up the afternoon with an acai bowl with wild strawberries. and round off the day by sampling local specialties, from furtalia – a fluffy omelette made with potatoes – to louza, the island’s spiced pork.’
