Loved milos! Medusa restaurant was the best! Loved where we stayed.

Great, comprehensive guide that echoed my own thoughts. I wished we had stayed in Pollonia rather than Adamantas. I loved visiting Kimolos and the relaxed vibe there and didn't research my rather too central hotel location, which suffered from a lot of nighttime ferry noise! Keep them coming!

Excellent tour of the different islands and a genuine suggestion in order to safe time, money and not be disappointed in an island like Milos if one has only 7 days of vacation to enjoy sun, sea and great food and historical/cultural sites. Thank you so much. Note: which of the many islands that have been visited by you have white sand beaches and/or 5 star hotels?

Another spectacular video. One thing (among many) that we love about your videos is that you have a written label identifying different locations that you’re speaking about. Super helpful.
Also, what drone are you using to film? Seems to handle the winds pretty well. Any issues bringing it into Greece? Thanks and keep up the wonderful videos!

Milos is being destroyed from American tourists. Was nice 10 years ago.
