Gastronomy of Milos (Full Day)
Take the time to unwind while exploring the traditional local dishes, wine and sites across Milos Island.
Board your vehicle for a scenic drive to the picturesque village of Plaka, which impresses its visitors with its authentic charm and beauty. Here you will have the opportunity to visit an old, refurbished café, where you can indulge in traditional Greek coffee made the real way. Also sample the famous watermelon pie and other homemade delightful, sweet flavors such as the delicious dessert known as “koufeto”. The tradition and method of producing this “spoon sweet” will also be explained.
After admiring the amazing scenery of Plaka and taking memorable photos, you will head to one of the most visited sites of the island, Sarakiniko. Sarakiniko has been shaped through millions of years of erosion and volcanic activity, which has resulted in a dramatic lunar-like landscape, resembling the life on the moon.
Next visit is the unique Volcanic Cave Winery, where you will sample the local wine varieties along with delicious products grown on the farm. All within a beautiful and relaxing setting, nestled between the shade of olive trees.
Next stop will be at the incredible volcanic swimming pool of Papafragas Cave, situated alongside the ruins of one of the most important prehistoric sites of the Aegean Sea.
Continuing on, you will be offered an introduction to the authentic local gastronomy of Milos at “Alevromylos”, one of the famous restaurants in Milos.
