Milos and Santorini in 7 days
A western Cyclades trip that trades breadth for depth: three nights on Milos, a single overnight on Folegandros to break the journey, and two nights closing on Santorini. It suits travelers drawn to Milos' volcanic coastline who still want the caldera views at the end.
Day by day
- Day 1 Athens (Piraeus)
Athens starts the trip with the Acropolis and Plaka before the fast ferry to Milos, a 3h crossing.
Athens (Piraeus) → Milos · 3h 00m · from €62 - Day 2–4 Milos
Three nights on Milos cover the Sarakiniko moonscape, a boat trip around the Kleftiko sea caves, and the pastel village of Plaka above the old catacombs; the ferry to Folegandros takes about 1h 05m.
Milos → Folegandros · 1h 05m · from €42 - Day 5 Folegandros
A single night in Folegandros is enough for the cliff-top Chora and a sunset from the Kastro quarter before the 50-minute fast ferry to Santorini.
Folegandros → Santorini · 50m · from €38 - Day 6–7 Santorini
Santorini takes the final two nights: the caldera walk from Fira to Oia and a wine tasting among the volcanic vineyards before departure.
