Athens
Athens was the start and end point of our trip, so we only spent a total of 48 hours here but made the most of it!
This was a perfect way to see the Acropolis and Parthenon a while learning a bit of history!

I recommend staying in Fira and taking day trips to Oia via bus! Honestly, don't think it's necessary to rent a car here.
Amazing sunset views! Definitely make a reservation in advance

Our FAVE Island, major Mamma Mia vibes. This felt like a slightly more chill Mykonos. We stayed in Noussa which was the heart of night life (see the hotel below!)
Such a cutie hotel! Loved the pool area and bar! We were walking distance to all of the fun and across the street from a car rental which was super handy!

Milos
This island is considered hidden gem with surreal rock formations, crystal-clear waters, and a laid-back atmosphere.
HIGHLIGHT of the trip! The guides were so fun and knowledgable. We had wine and a delicious meal AND snack on board. We got to snorkel, swim and cliff jump! It truly is the best way to see the beauty of Milos.

This boutique hotel was very close to the ferry port which is convenient if you're not staying in Milos very long! Super cute, our room had a patio and kitchenette which was nice.
