See the Milos picturesThe Cycladic island of Milos is famed as the place where the Venus de Milo was unearthed, but it has much, much more to offer. (And of course Venus now resides in the Louvre, no longer on Milos.)After hectic Mykonos and quiet Sifnos, Milos was the "Goldilocks" island; it was just right. It was large enough to have many interesting sights, but small enough that we felt like welcomed visitors wherever we went. One thing that was different about Milos compared to the other two islands that we visited is that it's not completely dependent on tourism. It has major mining operations for bentonite and perlite and other volcanic minerals. And as far back as Neolithic times Milos traded obsidian.#Cyclades #Greece #Milos ... See MoreSee Less

Skip to the Sifnos picturesSifnos was sure a welcome change after the throngs of tourists on Mykonos. Arriving into its harbour town of Kamares is the classic Greek island experience; beautiful blue water, a couple of fishing boats bobbing at anchor, a beach at the end of the bay, and mountains rising all around topped by churches or monasteries.We didn't have much planned for our stay on Sifnos. Although the island does have some small archaeological sites, a museum, and many, many churches worth a visit (see Greeka), we needed a break from touring UNESCO World Heritage sites, So we spent our time walking through villages and dining at the fine restaurants that line the harbour town.We stayed in the tiny port of Kamares. With only ~300 permanent residents it didn't take long to stroll the main street and then round the bay to climb up to a small chapel. Having just a single bench that could possibly fit 3 people it seemed like you'd have to make reservations for Sunday services!#Cyclades #Greece #Sifnos ... See MoreSee Less

See the Mykonos pictures!See the Delos pictures!We arrived on Mykonos in the late afternoon after a full day of travel from Nafplio. As mentioned in our Nafplio post, it rained throughout our travel day but the rain stopped on Mykonos about 5 minutes before we jumped in a cab to our hotel. (Or at least as close to our hotel as the taxi could get in the maze of pedestrian streets and stairs of Mykonos Town.) So we were able to photograph the iconic windmills and Little Venice in the “golden hour” evening light and see one of the island's famous sunsets.We didn't visit Mykonos just to see the windmills, nor were we there for its famous beaches, nightlife, and party scene, although we did want to see why this particular island approaches Santorini as the most visited of the Greek isles. Instead, our primary reason for visiting was as a jumping off point to the UNESCO WHS of Delos, an uninhabited island just a 30-minute boat ride away.#Delos #Greece #Mykonos ... See MoreSee Less

Jump to the pictures!To see some of the major archaeological sites of the Peloponnese Peninsula (Ancient Corinth, Mycenae, and Epidaurus) we based ourselves in the coastal city of Nafplio for 4 nights. It would have been possible to see them all in one crazy long day trip from Athens, but we are certainly glad that we didn't; Nafplio is worth a visit in its own right and is a charming town. (Of course there are 3 more of Greece's 20 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the far west of the Peloponnese, including Olympia, but we've been to Olympia on a previous trip so didn't add more driving!)Nafplio is famous for being the first capital of independent Greece in 1822. The hilly Old Town with its restaurants and small pensions and hotels was a perfect base because it is almost fully pedestrianized so that everything is within a short walk (as long as you can manage stairs!). However parking on the outskirts was an issue due to the Mediterranean Yacht Show taking over 80% of the main lot.#Greece #Nafplio #Peloponnese ... See MoreSee Less

Upon arrival in Athens in the early evening, we stayed near the airport so that we could pick up our rental car and drive to the Peloponnese in daylight hours the next day. We based ourselves in Nafplio for 4 nights, but we stopped in Corinth and then Ancient Corinth on the way, taking most of the day to reach Nafplio.The stop in modern Corinth was to see the Corinth Canal, an engineering marvel during its day. In the 7th century BC, the Greeks constructed an overland portage road, named the Diolkos, to drag ships over the 6.4 km isthmus rather than sail around the dangerous headland. A canal was dreamt of, and even started by Emperor Nero in 67 AD, but not completed until 1893! Unfortunately, the rapid switch to steamships and the increase in vessel size made the Corinth Canal obsolete within a few years of its completion. Still a very impressive sight though.#AncientCorinth #Epidaurus #Greece #Mycenae #Peloponnese ... See MoreSee Less
