The climate in Greece is warm and sunny for the majority of the year, however the island properties are only open from May to October. In May, the islands come to life and weather usually settles in a pattern of long hot sunny days and balmy evenings, especially in July and August when it can be very hot. Rain is unlikely but it can happen from time to time. May, June and September are particularly pleasurable months with July and August being especially popular on the islands.

Leap to the first of your three beautiful islands to explore Milos, leaving the crowds of Athens behind you. Known for its simply breath-taking landscapes surrounded by the clearest blue waters, you will start to relax in a shot. You'll stay at the boutique hotel Domes White Coast Milos, perched on a hilltop overlooking the beautiful bay below, a peaceful retreat yet only a 5-minute drive from the town of Pollonia.

Fun times start with an epic private jeep safari to discover all the secluded and unspoilt corners of Milos through off-road exploring.

Once you’ve had your fill of snorkelling, discover the caves from above the water, on the yacht’s rib boat, then sit down to enjoy a delicious lunch on board.
