Greek mythology can be dated back to 900 BC according to some sources, yet to this day the city of Athens still hosts some of the now dated structures from the time. Danielle tells us more about the marvellous Acropolis that can be seen from every viewpoint in Athens, also leading to her hot hack that'll save you some pennies! Milos was also on the cards for Danielle and she explored this island on a quad bike with a more relaxed approach, easily fitting into the zen atmosphere of Milos and its dozen beautiful beaches. As promised, here's a list of Danielle's recommendations, including beaches, food and sights for both Athens and Milos: Milos: Gyros of Milos - restaurant Sankirkino Beach Hired ATV from Nicki's Pathenia Beach Paralia Firopotomas - beach village Plaka hike to the castle Diopiottrio - restaurant Pollina beach Mykonos beach Athens: Neos Kosmos Ancient Agora Acropolis The Temple of Hepthesus Monastiraki - flea market Kuzina - restaurant Lycabettus Hill Kalamaki Beach Hosted on Acast.
