One of the most joyful, stunning homes we have ever been lucky enough to call our own - even if only for a few days. Nausika, our Queen of Milos, and Natia, the caretaker of the b&b, felt like old friends. Both were dedicated to making our honeymoon stay feel unique, exciting, relaxing, whatever we wanted it to be in the moment.
Nausika greeted us outside the church in Tripiti when we arrived to help us carry our bags down the whitewashed steps to the b&b, past blue doors and bright flowers to a garden-side room with amazing, shaded views of the water. A tour of the beautifully remodeled house confirmed what we already suspected: Tripiti was the authentic Grecian village we had been hoping to find and Nausika's carefully restored historic home was a gem.
With her guidance, we were able to explore almost all of the island in our little car -- from the remote beaches of Triades and Kapa Komias to the exhilarating hours we spent cliff jumping at Sarakiniko as the morning sun rose.
Tripiti -- along with Nausika's home -- is centrally located, making it easy to get anywhere in Milos. Every morning Natia prepared a beautiful breakfast spread and we'd be off -- excited to have a route but equally excited to get lost and discover Milos' secrets on our own!
The terrace at Nausika's home is a special place. Beautiful sunsets, romantic nights with just the two of us, and lovely evening chatting with other adventure-minded couples.
So very lucky to have found Nausika and our new Grecian home away from home.
