AN ISLAND labelled "the best in the world" is just a four-hour flight away from the UK and has warm weather throughout autumn.<\/p>\n

The best of the summer has now left the UK this year, but there are still places nearby where sun, sea and sand can be found in abundance.<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

One such place is Milos in Greece, which was declared to be the best island on the face of the planet by Travel + Leisure in 2021.<\/p>\n

The publication asked its readers to rate island destinations all over the world, as they looked to find the best one.<\/p>\n

They said they were looking for "the kind of\u00a0Instagram-perfect destinations\u00a0that travellers fantasise about on winter evenings" with "dreamy, sun-drenched landscapes surrounded by the\u00a0bluest waters".<\/p>\n

From their survey, the clear winner was Milos, due to its beaches and for "friendly locals who welcome visitors to explore the quaint villages".<\/p>\n

They praised its "extraordinary tavernas, and dozens of picturesque beaches that vary in colour depending on whether they are formed from shells, stones, or sand".<\/p>\n

Travel + Leisure aren't the only ones to use superlatives when talking about the island, with Tiktoker Kristian Gaupset (@kristiangaupset) describing his visit as "one of the most amazing days of my life".<\/p>\n

In a video he shared, he said the sea at Milos is "the clearest water in the world" and claimed it "literally glows blue".<\/p>\n

Locals agreed with him too, with one person commenting: "As a Greek who has visited almost 70% of our islands, Milos by far is my favourite."<\/p>\n

Another added: "I can confirm the water is amazing!"<\/p>\n

The beaches are unsurprisingly high among the list of things to do on the island, making up 16 of the top 20 attractions, according to TripAdvisor.<\/p>\n

The best of them are Kleftiko Beach, Sarakiniko Beach, Plathiena Beach, Firiplaka Beach and Firopotamos Beach.<\/p>\n

However, there are other sites to see, including the ancient Roman theatre in the\u00a0village of Tripiti.<\/p>\n

The well-preserved open-air marble theatre has views over the Aegean Sea and the harbour of Kilma village.<\/p>\n

There are also the Milos catacombs, said to be the three most important catacombs found worldwide.<\/p>\n

They were were used by early Christians first as a burial site and later also as a place of worship and a refuge after persecution by the Romans became widespread.<\/p>\n

Getting to Milos is fairly simple from the UK, with a ferry from Athens the most convenient.<\/p>\n

The island does have its own airport, but only receives domestic flights, so it's necessary to change elsewhere first.<\/p>\n

Flights from the UK to Athens take just under four hours and can be booked from less than \u00a340 return with Wizz Air.<\/p>\n

An apartment with a sea view can be booked from around \u00a350 per night for two people.<\/p>\n

The temperatures on Milos remain pretty warm throughout autumn, with average highs in September of 26C falling only to 22C in October.<\/p>\n
