Milos

 We're staying in the 3 storey house, 4th from the left with orange doors, in a fishing village called Klima on the island of Milos.

We had a great ferry trip from Folegandros, via Kimolos, to Adamas the port, and main town, on Milos. Moving day has become a ritual every 3 days. At Folegandros we were all staying at the same accommodation so we gathered, got taken to the port, and joined the queue of others also leaving on the same ferry.  The ferry arrived, we wheeled our suitcases up the vehicle ramp, stored them in a hold and then found somewhere to sit.

The ferries are vital to the Greek islands. They transport people and provisions. Today there was even a concrete truck with its load being slowly rotated, presumably to stop concrete setting.

On the way into Adamas we passed the fishing village we are staying in and could also see the old town on the hills behind it. Here, as in Athens, it is called the Plaka.

We picked up a rental car, had lunch, went to a supermarket in Adamas and then drove the 10 minutes to Klima. We were swimming in the sea as soon as we could.





We had dinner at a seafood restaurant just along the bay and watched the sunset.
