Milos - an Island on the Moon

A little sneak peek of some Milos action:



Milos Island in Greece feels like you can't possibly be on Earth.  Everything feels like another planet, the beaches there were so unlike anything I had ever seen!  Due to the fact that it was even moreso non-tourists season now, Milos was even more desolate than Santorini. There were no cruise stops here and the island was much smaller and felt even more private! Robby must have called ahead and rented out the entire island for us...what a guy!!! seriously though we felt like ballers even though once again our cute hotel only cost us $25 a night.

On this island we totally felt like explorers discovering new land, partially because we were all alone at every place we went, but also because every single beach on this island was entirely different than the other.  Every corner we turned it was like experiencing something totally different, which was so exciting!  We spent days hiking around and exploring the beaches and we got around in a red convertible jeep- one of my favorite cars ever and perfect for this setting!

First beach we went to I thought was the most amazing beach I had ever seen...but I quickly found that I felt that way about all the next ones too! This one was incredible though.  The rock cliffs on the beach were red, peach, green, yellow and white colors- unlike anything I've seen!! We frolicked on the sand and jumped in the waters and explored this cave area that had natural hot springs in it!! Totally alone. Apparently during tourist season there's a restaurant that cooks all their food on volcanic rock!  This beach had areas of hot volcanic rock which is where the hot springs come from too. Amazing! We never wanted to leave.

The colors were amazing and the water was a clear green!

Little mermaid rock - has to be where it was filmed!

It's a merman!





Freeeedom!

The next beach we hit, you had to climb down a cliff using a rope! Everything an adventure.  Once down, you were all alone in this beautiful cove with amazingly clear teal water and white sand.  Could've stayed here for days.

Welcome To Inside the cove - the water was ridiculous!

Another beach had beautiful rock cliffs and greenish water.  The cliffs were a pink, red and white color and we hiked around and then watched the sunset from the cliff.






Apparently saving the best for last...this beach blew us away!!! It literally felt like you were walking on the moon.  The amazing blue water next to bright white cliffs and rocks is something we've never seen before.  The cliffs went on forever, we explored them for hours finding caves people used to live in and awesome little coves of water.  We even made a music video, ok maybe a few music videos.  Look for them on MTV or at least MTV2. We are putting all our eggs in the MTV basket for making money when we get home.

We landed on the moon!

One giant leap for mankind?

Sooo beautiful!

No gravity!
Cute boy!



What is this place?!

Last stop was this super cute and tiny fishermans village.  It definitely was no tourist stop, people looked at us wondering what we were doing there, but we sat, read books and watched the sunset and just enjoyed the simple life with the fishermen and their cats.




We were so sad when it was time to go.  Greece has been my all around favorite of the trip.  From the cheap everything, amazing food and unique scenery and even ancient history you really can't beat it.  Milos is a world of it's own and I look forward to Robby and I purchasing the entire island one day soon when we make it big on MTV. We will invite you all to come stay with us from time to time.
