Where Should I go: Milos or Corfu?
Milos
Nestled in the heart of the Aegean Sea, Milos is a captivating island that offers a perfect blend of stunning landscapes, rich history, and authentic Greek charm. Visiting Milos doesn't have to strain your wallet. Budget accommodations can be found for fairly low prices in the shoulder season (May and September) as well as peak months. To save on meals, seek out local tavernas away from tourist hotspots. The villages of Plaka and Pollonia offer authentic dining experiences at reasonable prices. For transportation, consider renting a scooter or using the island's bus service to explore.
Corfu
Also known in modern Greek as Kerkira or Kerkyra, Corfu is the northernmost of Greece's Ionian islands, located off the nation's northwest coast in the Adriatic Sea. It has historically seen control of Venetians, French, and British powers, and today draws tourists mainly as a resort destination.
Like many beach destinations in Europe, Corfu can be expensive due to higher tourist demand and limited space on the island. But Greece is still a fairly affordable country compared to other places in Europe, so deals can be found.
