Acropolis of Athens
Did you even go to Athens if you didn’t visit the Acropolis? We recommend getting up early and beating the crowds. Check the current opening times (for us it was 8am) and arrive 20 minutes early. Pro Tip: grab your tickets online so you can beeline straight to the top.

Aggeliki ice cream shop
The best way to end your day on Milos is with a scoop of creamy gelato. For your sake, I hope the baklava flavor is available because it’s top tier.
