Where Should I go: Milos or Torun?

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.

Torun

Torun is a city in northern Poland, on the Vistula River. This magnificently walled Gothic town on the Vistula should be high on every traveler's list, possibly as its delights seem low on everyone else's, leaving visitors who make it here to revel unrestricted in its wealth of red-brick buildings, Unesco-listed sites and medieval city defenses, all of which WWII mercifully decided to ignore. Beyond architecture, Torun is also well known as the birthplace of Nicolaus Copernicus. His name is all over town, and you can even buy gingerbread shaped in his image. This other Torun icon - its pierniki (gingerbread) - is famous across Poland.
