  1. Milos Weather in October

    Hi Dave,

    Thanks so much for all your tips and information!

    I am thinking of traveling to Greece the first week of October. Do you think I will be able to enjoy Milos? My boyfriend absolutely loves the water. Will we be able to enjoy the water activities and the beaches during this time?

    Thank you!

    Candice

    1. Santorini Dave The Hotel Expert

      You can never guarantee the weather, but in the first week of October days should still be warm and the water great for swimming.

  2. Two Nights in Milos

    Hi Dave,

    Do you think two nights is too quick a trip for Milos? We are thinking of doing 4 nights in Santorini and then taking the ferry to Milos for two nights and then ferrying back to Athens. Do you think this is too rushed?

    Thank you!
    Alexandra

    1. Santorini Dave The Hotel Expert

      It sounds reasonable. With one full day you can do a pretty decent tour of the island (or a boat tour of the coast) plus two nights to eat in two different villages. It should be a great visit.

  3. Two Weeks in Milos

    Hi Dave,
    We are an active family of 5 (parents late 40’s children early 20’s) and we are wanting to book a 2 week holiday in Greece from 20th June to 5th July. Last year was our first time to Greece and we spent 12 days on Paros in Piso Livadi and absolutely loved it. We live in Zimbabwe and after the long travel time it takes us to get there, we like the idea of having the same base in order to have a real break, however we also want the option to explore different places within that. We are looking at Milos but I am wondering if there is enough to do for that stretch of time, bearing in mind, Paros was perfect for us. We will definitely do a sailing tour and are happy to do day trips to neighboring islands but mostly we love to swim, walk/hike and eat good food. We are not keen to stay in Mykonos or Santorini but welcome any other ideas you might have.
    Many thanks,
    Ellen

    1. Santorini Dave The Hotel Expert

      I think as long as you have the right expectations a two-week stay on Milos would be wonderful. Perhaps stay in two or three different towns. And rent a car for at least a few days to explore all corners of Milos.

  4. Best Places To Eat in Milos

    Hi Dave,
    Thanks for your great info! What are the best restaurants in Milos?

    1. Santorini Dave The Hotel Expert

      Archontoula in Plaka has great food and a magical setting in the densely packed lanes of the village. Nearby En Plo has the best views and is great for a few drinks before or after dinner.

  5. Paros to Milos to Santorini

    Hi Dave
    Your site is awesome. We are visiting Greece late May and early June for two weeks. Is Paros- Milos – Santorini a good itinerary? Also, is there a daily connectivity between these islands?

    Thanks,
    Raj

    1. Santorini Dave The Hotel Expert

      The ferry schedule is a little different every year but historically there is a Paros to Milos ferry about 3 or 4 times per week. It makes a few stops and takes about 5 hours. If it doesn’t travel on the dates you need you can always travel via Naxos with a ferry change (and those ferries should go every day). There should be at least one (maybe more) Milos to Santorini ferry every day, so no problem there.

  6. Best Milos Boat Tour

    Hi Dave:

    What boat tour would you recommend in Milos?

    Thanks!

  7. Milos Cove Hotel

    HI Dave. Great Blog. We are traveling to Milos in September and are looking at booking MILOS COVE. It looks beautiful but some of the reviews are pretty concerning. Any intel? I understand that it is new, but have you seen or stayed at the property?

    1. Santorini Dave The Hotel Expert

      I have not been there (yet) but clearly, it’s pretty isolated and a long way from the port (maybe that’s part of the appeal for you).

  8. Adamas or Pollonia?

    Which village is better to stay at in Milos. Pollonia or Adamas?

    1. Santorini Dave The Hotel Expert

      Pollonia feels more like a beach resort and is much quieter than Adamas. Outside of late June to early September it will likely be too quiet for most people. Adamas is a better base if you plan on doing a boat tour (highly recommended) and it’s where the ferry port is which makes arrival and departure easier. It’s also closer to the villages of Trypiti and Plaka and the Milos Catacombs – which are all worth a visit.

  9. Trip Planning for Milos

    HI DAVE!

    This Blog you have is AMAZING!! Helping me so much. I do have 2 questions though. I am coming to Milos from Santorini June 21-25

    1. Which is the best ferry to take & do you recommend buying tickets now? Or buy when I get to Greece?

    2. Which area of Milos do you recommend (staying in an AirBnb) for a couple in the 20/30s? Everything looks great but I want the best of the best.

    1. Santorini Dave The Hotel Expert

      1. Take the SeaJet ferry at 8:30am. Buy tickets a month or two in advance.
      2. Every village has its charm but most people will probably want to stay in Pollonia.

  10. Milos or Crete (on Santorini Trip)

    Hi Dave,
    My husband and I (both active and fit in our 50s) are traveling to Greece at the end of June for 10 nights. We want to spend time in Santorini and one other island. We are choosing between Milos and Chania Crete and wonder what you recommend. My concern is if Milos while incredibly interesting has enough of a buzz to keep it a bit lively. My concern about Chania is that 4 days will feel rushed and not enough time to relax and appreciate this portion of Crete.
    Thank you for your advice!
    Jane

    1. Santorini Dave The Hotel Expert

      It sounds like you understand the trade-offs perfectly. Both places are great so I’ll offer one tip: take a look at connecting flights and how they work with your plan. You’ll likely be able to fly directly from Chania to home or a hub in western Europe. From Milos it’s flight or ferry to Athens then travel from there.

  11. Best Hotel in Pollonia for Honeymoon

    Hi Santorini Dave, my husband and I going to Milos/Paros for our honeymoon! Which hotel do you think is best in Pollonia for a special occasion? Thanks!

    Caroline Vouyiouklakis

    1. Santorini Dave The Hotel Expert

      Milos Breeze (but I do recommend renting a car if staying there).

  12. Ferries to Milos

    Hi Dave
    Where can I find a schedule of the ferry rides for next year June/July. I am trying to find out on which days the ferry goes from Santorini to Milos and then from Milos to Naxos. It seems like there is a ferry going from Naxos to Mykonos every day of the week over that time period, am I right?

    1. Santorini Dave The Hotel Expert

      In summer there will be (should be) daily ferries between Santorini and Milos; Santorini and Naxos; and Naxos and Mykonos. Not sure on Milos/Naxos ferries. Schedule should be out in January or February.

  13. Where and When to Buy Ferry Tickets

    Hi Dave,

    Can I purchase my ferry ticket from Paros to Milos when I’m in Athens?
    Nathalie

    1. Santorini Dave The Hotel Expert

      Yes, no problem.

  14. Tours in Milos

    Hello,

    Your site has been incredibly helpful! Thank you! We are planning to visit Milos for only one night. Coming in from Santorini in the morning (October 4th) and then leaving the next evening (Oct 5th) for Athens. I was wondering what your recommendation would be for touring the island. We realize how limited that time is but would love to see the beaches/rock formations. Most of the boat tours I found online start at 9am and I fear we won’t be there early enough.

    Any suggestions for how to best get a feel for Milos in the limited time we have?

    Amrita

    1. Santorini Dave The Hotel Expert

      It’s very hard to make a visit work without one full day. The last ferry to Athens leaves (on October 5) at 4pm meaning you’d only have until about 2pm before you had to head back. You could certainly have a nice hike around the villages but as for seeing much of the island I’d recommend trying to stay for two nights and do the Milos Sailing Tour – or skip the visit entirely.

  15. Itinerary for Athens, Milos, Santorini

    Hi Dave,

    Congrats for the great and useful site.

    We are visiting Greece in early September but there is so much to see. It’s our first time in Greece and we want to visit a lot of things but also relax and with a small budget. Our itinerary (so far) is Athens-Milos-Santorini-Athens. Do you recommend this? Athens and Santorini to visit, and Milos to relax (it seems quiet with beaches (important factor) and cheaper than other islands) – is it a good choice?

    Thank you,
    Pedro Lima

    1. Santorini Dave The Hotel Expert

      That’s a great itinerary. Milos and Santorini complement each other well. You may want to consider flying from Santorini straight back to Athens as it will save you valuable time and not cost too much more (especially if you can coordinate it with your flight home).

  16. What is the Best Hotel on Milos?

    Hi Steve,

    Of the best Milos hotels you mention above, do you have an overall favourite? I’m leaning towards the Milos Breeze based on photos but wanted your opinion before booking! Thank you!!
    Anna

  17. Naxos or Milos

    I can’t decide between Naxos and Milos, please help! I love the rock formations of Milos and the white sand beaches of both islands, but am going in October. I’m stuck because I would love to stay at a place right near a nice stretch of sandy beach, which Naxos has, but it doesn’t look like Milos does (budget room). Is there cool geological sites on Naxos that could be a substitute for Milos cool geological formations?

    Thanks!

    Salia Wilson

    1. Santorini Dave The Hotel Expert

      I would do Naxos (especially if you want a more typical greek island experience with beaches and local villages) but no, Naxos doesn’t have anything like the geological beauty of Milos.

  18. Which Greek Islands to Visit

    Hi Dave,

    Thank you so much for your response. In terms of island selections, I remember you mentioned that you cannot go wrong with Greek Islands, every island offers something different. What are your thoughts on Zakynthos? I have read some mixed reviews regarding this island, the feedback are mainly on massive crowds and limited hotel selections. My current island choices are Milos – Naxos – Paros. Zakynthos is kind of our of way and if I add on this island, I am not sure if I can do all 4 islands within two weeks, including travel time.
    Thank you. Stacey

      Yes, all have their virtues but if I had to say one that is best to avoid in would probably be Zakynthos. It has a lot of package tourism and that’s taken away from it’s supreme natural beauty. In your case (already visiting Milos, Naxos, Paros) there is no scenario where you should be spending a full day of travel to get to the other side of the country when there are so many wonderful islands an hour or two away by ferry. (e.g. Santorini, Antiparos, Folegandros, Sifnos, Serifos, Mykonos, and more.)
