Milos is perfect for those looking for a quieter Greek island holiday (Image: Getty Images) Santorini, with its iconic white stone walls and blue domed buildings, remains a favourite among holidaymakers. Despite being home to just 15,500 permanent residents, the picturesque Greek island attracts a staggering 2.5 million tourists annually.
However, it's not exactly a budget-friendly destination, often featuring in lists of Europe's priciest holidays. While there are some bargains to be found, they tend to get snapped up quickly, meaning an average week-long stay in Santorini could cost you over £1,200 per person. Putting budget concerns aside, Santorini is also grappling with the issue of over-tourism.
The island's Mayor, Nikos Zorzos, has suggested imposing a limit on cruise ship passengers, a measure that could come into effect as early as next year. But fear not, for those seeking stunning views and crystal-clear waters, there's no need to flock to Santorini. The Greek island of Milos offers a perfect alternative, minus the crowds.
