When to go?
Every season has its charm, but don’t underestimate the elements. Summer (June-Sep) is the loveliest time to visit Milia, escaping from the heat and crowds of the coast. Spring and autumn are popular with walkers, and deservedly so, though it can be a little chilly, especially at the start of the season (April). Then again, April is the best month for wild flowers! Winter (Oct - March) is cold and rather dark indoors, but it is cosy sitting around a wood-burning stove drinking raki, and on a sunny day the snowy peaks and crystal-clear views are ample recompense for the hardy.
