Exploring the Abandoned Sulfur Mines on Milos Island

I am going to be brutally honest. This was the most terrifying ride I have ever experienced. My husband and I have driven some of the most renowned 4 x 4 mountain roads in Colorado, canyon roads in Utah, the curvy roads of Crete and many other Greek islands, and I have loved them all. The thrill is part of the fun and adventure. But hands down, this road scared the daylights out of me. At one point, I thought of leaving the vehicle and walking the rest of the way. Unfortunately, I could not do this at this point as there was no where to safely leave the vehicle. Also there was no where to turn around so that was not an option either. Therefore, slowly Steve inched his way down like he didn’t have a care in the world. Surprisingly we are still married after this as words may have been said.
