(note: prices change based on time of year, we went during a “shoulder” month meaning it wasn’t peak season yet and wasn’t as busy / expensive. I recommend going to Greece / Europe during May (before peak) or August-Sept (after peak season))

Car rental: 40 euro a day (for a MANUAL) from Milos Rent a Car

MILOS RESTURAUNTS:
Gyros of Milos: right by the pier, can’t miss it!
OKTO: amazing food! a little pricey but worth it
the other restaurants and cafes we stumbled into and I couldn’t find the name / didn’t appear on google maps, but trust me you’ll find good spots!

my boyfriend and i booked a last-minute trip to greece we stopped in athens mykonos and spent most of our time in the island of milos and i’ll be sharing where we stayed for only 43 euro each night as well as all the amazing food we got to try and the beautiful beaches with crystal clear water that i believe everyone should see in their lifetime we took a flight from bangkok to athens for less than five hundred dollars which i will show you how in another video but we were absolutely exhausted i got myself a coffee and some free cake which made me feel so much better we stopped in athens first because it was cheaper and also because we wanted to see the ruins and we got our tickets for 10 euro each and it was definitely worth the stop [Music] we walked around the old town near the acropolis and stopped to get this sesame bread that was so good i’ve never had this before it was a little tough but the flavor was amazing [Music] and while spending the day in athens was amazing the main thing i was looking forward to was going to milos which will be coming up soon so stay tuned because i’m just so excited to show you guys how beautiful milos is but i definitely enjoyed our first taste of greek food in athens i swear my entire diet this day was meat and french fries but it was worth it we were only supposed to stay in athens for one day but our flight to milo’s got cancelled because of just horrible weather conditions so we had to stay at a hotel overnight but luckily it was comped by my credit card which is amazing i’m making another video on how you can travel more affordably but the plus side is that we got to stay at a hotel and then have free breakfast before taking another flight the next day to milos and this breakfast buffet was actually amazing i was really shocked and surprised [Music] to get to milos from athens you could also take a ferry but we decided to fly just because it was going to be a five-hour ferry ride which is insane versus only a 45 minute flight but we finally arrived at our really cute airbnb which by the way is i’ve posted the link in the description below if you want to check it out for yourself and we unloaded our bags before going out to get food because we were starving [Music] i always need something sweet after a meal so i got myself this greek walnut cookie that was so good and you’ll see but i was addicted to them this entire trip but i had to take a moment here to film and show you how beautiful our airbnb was the view of the beach that was nearby it was just all so stunning it felt surreal [Music] so after enjoying some coffee and the sunrise i had to have some more coffee plus the biscuit that i told you about that i’m addicted to amazing walnut cookies don’t know what they’re called if you do let me know in the comments as well as some fruit before my real breakfast of yogurt peaches honey and almonds it’s our first day here in milos and i actually don’t have any clothes to wear so we’re gonna go shopping and the reason for that is because when we were in thailand the original plan was to go back to singapore and then come to europe but yeah i literally only have bikinis and activewear so i feel like i just need something to wear in europe let’s do some makeup before i go shopping first things first sunscreen of course i had this thought the other day you know how everyone says to use rollers on your face to like reduce puffiness can’t you just like massage your face when you wash it or like put on cream doesn’t it do the same thing [Music] have a little successful shopping trip and i’ll show you guys what i got right after this because we went out to lunch and then went to the most beautiful beach with amazing cliff jumping spots but i tried traditional greek musaka for the first time and it was so good of course had to get to ziki with pita and this lunch was amazing i swear i could eat greek food every day we just finished shopping and had some lunch i think it was a successful shopping trip i actually bought a beach towel and now we’re going to sarakiniko which is like a moon rock [Music] it looks like luna rocks so it’s really cool [Music] thank you [Music] after a successful day of cliff jumping we went to go have dinner i got myself a glass of wine not because i needed it but because i wanted it which is totally okay because what’s good for the soul is good for the body no but in all seriousness i talk about this a lot on my channel and i believe everything in moderation it’s all about having balance oh okay we’re now getting to the cute little hall so these are the pants i bought the only thing is that they’re very see-through so i have to actually buy a liner to go underneath this was like an extra five euros but it’s worth it because no it’s not see-through okay but now back to what i was saying about balance so of course being on vacation the best way to enjoy it is to not overthink food and to really just eat out don’t overthink it but if you want to include a healthy meal i suggest going to the grocery store and buying some fresh fruits and vegetables to have as a snack we both did some work in the morning before going back to the gyro spot that we went to the day before also is it gyro or euro someone tell me anyways so good and only three euro and 50 cents i don’t even know if it’s considered sense in europe but so good and it’s pretty big i adore it also the fact that it comes with french fries stuffed inside amazing all of them file out but i ended up eating them one by one anyways my original plan was to eat a bit and then save the rest and bring it to the beach but of course it was just way too good not to eat all in one go [Music] i tried to make this look cool but i just ended up looking like a dead starfish and it was so embarrassing to film eva nico was like yikes you look like a dead fish in water um so that was great but we walked along the little pier before going out to eat dinner and i got this greek style paella i’m not sure why it’s considered greek but it was good nonetheless and we went and watched the sunset snacked on some tzatziki a beautiful end to just such a relaxing day which we definitely needed because i knew the next day was gonna be a little crazier we joined a day boat cruise for a hundred euro each which sounds like a lot but it’s actually worth the price because it not only included a tour around the island that you can’t see by foot but it also included meals snacks and all-inclusive drinks like wine soda water and you cannot tell me that these views aren’t worth it it’s so stunning around the island of milos the water is crystal clear everywhere but the best part of the day boat trip was that you get to go to cleftico which is known as the caves of thieves because pirates used to actually hide there for snack they gave us this bread with onion and tomato that was really good and refreshing i also had some wine [Music] after cleftico we had lunch and they gave us these stuffed tomatoes i added some feta i had another glass of wine and delicious [Music] it was so cool to try more local greek food also had yogurt with peaches and honey for dessert of course went back to my favorite little bakery that is right down by the pier i got myself the walnut cookies an orange flavor cookie as well as an espresso and a chocolate flavored cookie too [Music] do [Music] [Music] to end the day we walked around the cute town of adamas before going out to dinner at octo which the woman who ran my airbnb actually recommended and 10 out of 10 this was the best restaurant we went to while in milos the food was amazing the greek salad was the best that i had if anyone who watches this ends up going i really recommend the tuna as well as the pork belly and the octopus the dessert was actually okay and is it just me or do these look like cigarettes in the desert i don’t know i just thought it looked kind of funny goodbye airbnb [Music] and nemos [Music] to leave greece we found it was cheaper to take a fairy first to mykonos and then fly out of mykonos the fairy was actually really easy to use and i know most people use it to get around the greek islands as soon as we got to mykonos we went and got some lunch because we were starving and the gyros here were so much better than the one in milos it was just so juicy it was definitely a lot more expensive but so good i’m all about intuitive eating so i had a mid-meal check-in before eating some more because it’s so important to honor your hunger and your fullness got myself a fanta before we went and walked to the nearby beach and now i want to give you my honest thoughts about mykonos and honestly my nose is really cute it’s pretty but it was a lot more expensive than going to milos and some of the more local islands it felt very touristy the prices for food were quite high depending on where you go you can spend between 10 to 30 40 euros for a plate of food and i had to be reminded that mykonos is more of a party island so people come here just to you know have fun and party it’s literally known as a rich kids playground the most expensive part is actually going to the beaches because most places will require you to rent a day bed the beaches we went to had public access as well but if you want to lie on one of those beautiful day beds you can expect to spend from 80 to 100 euro if it’s high season [Music] we stayed only one day in mykonos before getting on our 4 a.m flight the next day to spain while it was sad to leave greece i know for sure we’re going to be back especially to the island of milos it was just so stunning also got myself this airport sandwich for the plane and it was surprisingly good but anyways i hope you guys like this video like and subscribe if you did and of course stay tuned for the next vlog which is going to be us in madrid [Music] [Music] you
