Milos Reviews -General

We visited many islands in Greece this summer. In reference to Milos? The beaches are FABULOUS!!!! It is not a terribly touristy-type island which absolutely appealed to us. We did not access "nightlife" much. The catacombs (historical) were closed, so we did not get to see them. We saw so much of that type of thing in other islands, that it wasn't the most important thing on Milos.

The villages were awesome, especially Adamas and Apollonia. Plaka, we thought, was not anywhere near as exciting as we'd been led to believe. We had recommendations to stay there. Glad we didn't! We stayed in Provatas, but ate also in Adamas and Apollonia. So easy to find good food everywhere. Not my experience in other parts of Europe.

Swim in Firaplaka and Sarakiniko (not necessarily for the beach), but for the INCREDIBLE beauty and the cool caves. Take a boat to Kleftiko. You don't have to spend the whole day touring the island. There are boats that leave from near Provatas and go directly there. We highly recommend renting a little car in Milos. That way, you can see so much more. It's not a terribly big island, so easy to get around.
