Good to Know

July heat

July is Greece's hottest month — Athens routinely hits 38-40C. The schedule front-loads activity into mornings and late-afternoon golden hour with siesta breaks. Hydrate hard and bring electrolytes.

Book early

Top hotels (The Dolli, Skinopi Lodge, Milos Cove) and the private Milos boat day sell out by early in the year for July dates. Confirm hotels and the Day 5 charter well ahead.

Cash & tipping

Cards work almost everywhere, but carry cash for tipping, small village tavernas, and cash-only spots like O! Hamos! Budget ~EUR300 cash per traveller; 10% at restaurants, EUR50-100 for a great boat skipper.

What to pack

Comfortable walking sandals for the polished, slippery Acropolis marble (no leather soles) and water shoes for Sarakiniko, Kleftiko and kayaking. SPF 50+ is essential on water-sports days.

Island flights

Olympic Air and Sky Express run multiple daily Athens-Milos flights (~40 min). Book the outbound and return together, and take the earliest return on departure day for safety.
