VILLAGES
Plaka
Built on the hill at the entrance of the gulf, Plaka is the most characteristic town on the Island with narrow roads. Nearby are the Cityhall and the police station. Plaka is small and from here, you have a wonderful view of the North/West part of the island and unforgettable sunsets.
Adamas
Its name might come from “diamond”. Adamas is right in the gulf and all ferryboats arrive to its secure harbor. Adamas is the summer “downtown” place of the island of Milos, pivotal to all directions, where the port is and cafes and restaurants are right on the gulf.
Pollonia
North/West of Milos, in front of the Island of Kimolos, 10 km from Adamas or Plaka, Pollonia is a small fisherman village built around a pretty, restful tree-lined beach of fine sand, closed by a peer with many restaurants

The most beautiful aspects of the island are the white sandy beaches and rocky coves. This harmonic combination of green waters and white rocks that surround the beaches is just divine! We personally loved the beaches in the southern side of the island. Many are not organized but the unique scenery makes them very rewarding destinations. My best beaches? Tsigrado and Agia Kiriaki. Difficult hike down Tsigrado but really worth it for the exotic water.

This is a beautiful, small island with gorgeous beaches. Papakino, Firiplaka and Tsigrado are certainly the places to be but there are also many other lovely beaches around Milos. Take the boat tour and you will see some amazing places, like Kleftiko and Gerontas. Just put more signs to the beaches because it is very easy to get lost. Also some more umbrellas wouldn't mind.

I consider myself very lucky I visited Milos. It is an island totally harmonious with the glory of nature. It has several monuments that one should see such as the catacombs in the village of Tripiti, the Mineralogical Museum or the Ancient Theatre. I stayed in a nice hotel in Plaka the capital of Milos. The village was pretty much like the most of the Cycladic islands, at least those that I have seen so far, with whitewashed houses and beautiful balconies full of flowers. We went to Sarakiniko, which is only a few km away from Plaka where the landscape formed by volcanic rock was breathtaking. There is no doubt that Milos is by far the best island that I have ever seen. Milos has a few bars in Plaka but it's mostly ideal for those who wish to spend relaxing vacations.

The first time I visited Milos was the summer of 2010 on my cousin's wedding. I had already seen many pictures of this island from your site as well as from other tourist guides about Greece. Apart from this special occasion, I thought that it was an ideal opportunity to enjoy the sun and spend some time with friends on this fantastic island. We stayed in Pollonia, which was proved a fantastic choice. It is a beautiful fishing village with sugar houses and traditional taverns right by the sea.

Sea caves are one of the characteristics and most beautiful things on Milos. Everywhere you go - by boat, to remote beaches, inaccessible by car, normal beaches... you'll find caves. I can't recommend it enough - boat tour around the island! Some may find it expensive, but this is experience to remember! Kleftiko, for example. If you don't go to Kleftiko, don't go to Milos at all. You'll find yourself crying at Kleftiko, believe me. Those colours, that calmness, sea life... you'll feel like in paradise. Then Sykia cave... Cave beach! Indescribable! Papafragas, Kapros, Glaronissia and many more. Swim, play and enjoy!
