Our beautiful clear blue water at Rottnest.....does this reef look like a map of Australia to anyone else?

It’s that time of the year when I take a little break from IG! Let’s see how long it lasts! Any bets? Stay safe!

Back on our favourite island...Rottnest Island, 19kms from Fremantle in Western Australia.....a little piece of paradise!

I’ve found it very hard to post this week whilst fires are ravaging the rest of Australia. I feel helpless but I urge you all to donate to the fire services and wildlife sanctuaries if you can.

As this decade comes to a close, I’ve been looking back over the good times and the not so good. The years have flown by! It was a decade of fabulous travels for us....the highlight being eighteen months in Europe! With the arrival of our grandchildren we’ve reduced our trips to three months every year. Italy and the Greek Islands will always call us back but we do love visiting places with very different cultures....Jordan, Turkey and Israel have been highlights! Georgia is on the list for next year if we can’t go to Iran!
We’ve vowed to see more of our own country in the next decade.... One of the highlights of this year was our trip to the Berkeley River Lodge in the far, far north of Western Australia. The Kimberleys have always been a place we love to go hence this pic to farewell the year!
Who knows what is ahead for the next decade....that’s the exciting part! I hope for you it is love, happiness and lots of travel! Best wishes to you all for a fabulous 2020. Happy New Year. 🥂

It wasn’t open when I took this pic but I just loved the way the church bells provided a glorious backdrop to this cute little cafe in the main village on Kimolos.

I love most of the Greek Islands we’ve been too but the ones I’ve highlighted over the past few weeks are my favourite Cyclades islands! Every island is different and offers something for everyone! I often recommend Milos because I love it’s fabulous beaches, sights and tavernas but Paros is also fun! Folegandros is smaller, quieter and less crowded which I love too! Sifnos and Serifos are great to visit if you’ve been to the others and are looking for something new! There’s still many more islands I haven’t been too and can’t wait to visit....which would you suggest I visit next?

Of all the wonderful beaches on Kimolos, Prassa, with its stunning clear blue water is our favourite.....and an easy day trip from Milos.

Not thirty minutes by ferry from Pollonia on Milos lies the wonderful little island of Kimolos. It’s an easy and fabulous day trip spent exploring the alleyways of its main village, Chorio and spending time on its wonderful beaches. If you’re looking for a quiet unspoilt Greek island, it would be tempting to spend a few days here!

Klima.....another popular spot to catch the last of the sun’s rays. Once a fishing village, their famous boat sheds (sirmata) are now souvenir shops or airbnb rentals. Above here, the village of Trypiti, has a couple of very good restaurants to have dinner at......Barriello or Ergina. Best to book during summer!
Would you like to stay in one of the boat sheds?

Embourios. If you’re looking for a little adventure on Milos head to the western side of the island! You’ll need to hire a four wheel drive for this day. The rocky roads down to the beaches are steep and winding! Ammoudaraki and Triades were my favourite beaches though the mechanic who came to fix our flat tire said Agathia was his! After checking the beaches head to lunch at Embourios, to the wonderful little restaurant on the other side of this building serving delicious local food.

Do you like to watch the sun set? If you’re on Milos, head up to the town of Plaka for this fabulous view.
Check out the previous post and IG highlights for more from here. .

A visit to Milos’ capital Plaka is a must whilst you’re on the island. This wonderful little town cascades down the highest hill on Milos. The views are magnificent, especially at sunset from behind the church or higher up from the Kastro. There’s some great little shops to peruse as you wander the cobblestoned streets before deciding on a taverna for dinner. We love to eat here at Archontoula or we head around the corner to Avli-Milos. See more photos of Plaka in stories and Milos highlights

The small fishing villages of Milos have a unique feature....their sirmata or boat shelters. You can see these at here at Fyropotamos or head to Klima, Mandrakia, Fourkovouni. There’s also a few at Mytakas. We’ll often head to Fyropotamos to lie on the beach before heading to Mandrakia (pictured a few posts ago) for late lunch at Medousa.

Overlooking the bay and the fishing boats, the wonderful little town of Pollonia on Milos comes alive at night. This is where we like to stay...we love the atmosphere here with the restaurants buzzing at night. The best bakery is here too! Leave a day free to take the boat to nearby Kimolos from here. The fabulous beaches on Milos are dotted all over the island so it’s best to pick up a car up at the airport for the duration of your stay. You won’t want to miss too many of them!
