We took the ferry from Sifnos to Milos to a hotel by the church clock tower, the highest point of the town. It's called Uncle’s Place. And what a place. The fridge was stocked with water, juice, cold cuts, cheese, bread and fresh fruit, cake, cookies, local honey, olive oil, butter, Melba toast and even a few small bottles of Tsipouro. The bathroom was kitted out with every luxury item you could imagine. Everything was ultra modern, probably designed by a stylist. The kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and outdoor space was awesome. The views were great. One of the nicest places we have ever stayed.
It was a short but steep walk down to the port. Lots of cats along the way. Jill picked this place because it had a washing machine, the only place we could do our laundry which we have been saving up. She sent me to hopefully buy a fish for dinner while she stayed back to do the laundry. We lucked out because Christina was there and I was able to get a nice size dorada which she happily cleaned for me, a 5 euro bargain. Then to the market for lettuce, cucumber, red pepper, lemon, more olive oil and wine. I also finally found some figs to go with our Metaxa and espresso. Dinner could not have been more enjoyable.
Tomorrow we fly to Chania, Crete via Athens.
You have been very fortunate with fabulous balconies!
