Loved milos! Medusa restaurant was the best! Loved where we stayed.

[@edwright4892]

Great, comprehensive guide that echoed my own thoughts. I wished we had stayed in Pollonia rather than Adamantas. I loved visiting Kimolos and the relaxed vibe there and didn't research my rather too central hotel location, which suffered from a lot of nighttime ferry noise! Keep them coming!

[@CapybaraCM]

Another spectacular video. One thing (among many) that we love about your videos is that you have a written label identifying different locations that you’re speaking about. Super helpful.
Also, what drone are you using to film? Seems to handle the winds pretty well. Any issues bringing it into Greece? Thanks and keep up the wonderful videos!

[@GreeceTravelGuide]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I try to put the locations on each clip as I've found it frustrating in other travel videos when you see somewhere that looks interesting but it doesn't tell you the place name.
The drone is a DJI Mavic Air (first generation). Never had a problem using it in Greece although I only fly in quiet areas. You aren't allowed to fly them at archaeological sites anymore (most have signs up saying no drones). Some of the aerial shots in this video aren't mine though, they're stock footage that I pay to use. I took the ones at Prassa Beach on kimolos. It's pretty good in the wind, sometimes a warning appears on the display but it's never crashed even on quite windy days.
