It seems like we saved the best for last. We arrived at Milos Island around midnight from Naxos. It was a 6 hour plus ferry ride, stopping at Ios, Sikilos, Folegrandos, Kimolos and then Milos. Even though our accommodation was only a reasonably short distance away, we didn't fancy walking in the dark hauling cases at that hour of night. There were taxis aplenty at the port all happy to take your money. As usual, no meter was started and some random guy jumped in the front - supposedly he knew the driver. Comfortable accommodation about a 10 minute walk from the port and very quiet at night.

We booked a sunset cruise on board a catamaran which was a wonderful experience, enabling us to see a part of the island only accessible by boats. Arriving at the designated collection point, we realised pretty quickly that we were the oldest by at least 35 years.

My titanic shot!
Adrian and I were very amused by the young women on board the catamaran with us, unashamedly posing for photos, preening themselves to maximise "the look" - lying just so on the net, undoing their gorgeous locks to make sure they were sitting just right over their shoulders and with perfect pouts, they were ready for today's Instagram shot. Adrian suggested I do a Titanic. Having neither the gorgeous locks nor the voluptuous boobs, this was the best I could come up with. Given my spectacular disaster when leaving Santorini, I was tempting fate - might have catapulted off the tramp into the Aegean!

Food and wine were provided and even a Mojito offered and accepted as the sun went down on a spectacular day.
Sunset, Mojitos and swimming through caves in those pristine waters! What a magic holiday you are having. Have to put Milos on my list of places to visit and hang out for a while.
