Greece Trip #20: A Quiet Lunch Along the Pretty Streets of Milos

Sometimes, when you travel with a group of people you don't know you, just need to go off on your own. Whether it is to enjoy exploring an area, or to get some quiet time, it can be a relief. In today's blog, you'll experience how we did just that on the island of Milos, Greece. 

TAKING TO THE STREETS - After dealing with bad behavior from some immature members of our travel group, Tom and I hopped on our ATV and decided to drive to a small town for lunch by ourselves. Although I don't know the name of the town, it was on a high hill. There, we enjoyed eggs and tea in an outdoor cafe. 

SCENIC STREETS - After lunch, we walked around and enjoyed the scenic streets of this hilltop town in Milos. Some of the streets had bougainvillea flowers draped over trellises. It was the same beautiful flowers that we saw in Athens. 

TOM THE ATV DRIVER- Since Tom rode motorcycles in his younger days, he drove the ATV and I was the passenger. Normally, at home, I do all the driving, so it felt good to let him take the reins. The Island of Milos has a lot of curvy roads, because it's very hilly and sandy, and looks much the same (there are very few trees on the entire island). I wound up giving Tom directions from the hilltop town to the port of the island. Once there, we bought at-home COVID tests for all of the group because we needed them to take a sailboat out the following day.
