Milos Hotels – Tips & Recommendations

• Milos is a picturesque volcanic island with stunning beaches, charming villages, and rich history. Known as the Island of Colors, Milos is well-loved for its crystal blue water, colorful rock formations, and the syrmata, brightly painted shelters for fishing boats.

• The best restaurants on Milos are O! Hamos! (Adamas), Methismeni Politia (Tyrpiti), Medusa (Mandrakia), Mavros Xoiros (Plaka), De Milos (Pollonia), and the bakery Kivotos Ton Gefseon (Pollonia).
• Most of Milos’ beaches are wild and unorganized with few or no restaurants, so plan to take your own beach gear. The best beaches on Milos are Sarakiniko (moonlike landscape with a tiny beach inside; unorganized, can be crowded), Pollonia Beach (sandy, unorganized, near great restaurants), Provatas Beach (lively, sandy, organized beach with sun beds and beach clubs), Paliochori (colorful cliffs and pebbles, red and yellow sand; organized beach with sun beds and tavernas), Firiplaka (sandy, partly organized, surrounded by colorful cliffs), Tsigrada (gorgeous small beach at the bottom of a cliff with crystal blue water accessible by rope and ladder).
• Sailing through Kleftiko’s towering rock formations, natural caves, and tunnels is another must. This old pirate hideout offers several secret beaches and swimming spots only accessible by boat.
• Best Towns on Milos: Most hotels in Milos are found in Adamas (small town where the ferry port is located) and Pollonia (more like a beach resort), both are charming towns with seaside tavernas and wonderful nearby beaches. Both are great for walking, shopping, eating, and evening strolls. Adamas has a little more nightlife (but not much). Pollonia is a little more upscale, but nothing too chichi. Across a narrow channel from Pollonia is Kimolos, a charming little island with dozens of sandy beaches and one traditional village, making for a perfectly serene getaway. Plan on visiting the capital, Plaka, at least once. This is the liveliest village with spectacular sunset views, authentic tavernas, and local shopping. In nearby Trypiti, there are the Catacombs of Milos; dating back to the 1st century A.D., they are among the oldest in the world. Trypiti is also where the Venus de Milo was discovered. On the coast below Plaka and Trypiti is the fishing village, Klima. This quiet wisp of a village is known for its brightly painted syrmata, the fishermen’s boathouses, many of which have been converted into lodgings.


The colorful syrmata in Klima fishing village. Some of the best syrma stays in Milos are here, including Vasealis & Seafis Sirma (light blue syrma on the right), Blue Sea House (second syrma from the left), and The Colourful Land (purple syrma in the center-left).
