General: Sweet like koufeto

Choosing Milos island this summer as my destination was actually in the last minute after browsing some photos of the fantastic beaches ( I have visited most of them but there are still plenty which I did not have the chance) there especially the Sarakinikos which is like the moon's surface! The roads in most cases are covered with asphalt, so you can easily see the whole island, but ask t...

General: Charming island

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:44:11 GMT

I heard about Milos from my friend, who went there for vacations last year. So this year, we joined them, too. The serene and calm atmosphere of this place is really striking. If I have to describe Milos in one word, then it would be "beautiful". Most of what we have seen in Milos, be it the architecture of the houses o...

General: Fabulous with one word

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 was completely fabulous and I've travelled to many places including beautiful Caribbean islands, Mexico, Hawaii, the Mediterranean. Milos was beyond my expectations in ter...

General: Mostly about impressive beaches

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:44:11 GMT

Milos is an island for people who respect the power and beauty of nature. Beaches are so various in landscapes that each one looks different from the other. Sarakiniko indeed looks like a moon picture, Papafragos is actually rocks into the sea with crystal blue-green water, while there are also many normal sandy beaches (Agia Kiriaki, Pollonia). The best beach though is Kleftiko: there is no ro...

General: Try some diving in the deep water

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:44:11 GMT

I was in Milos for a conference on Translation and thus had the opportunity to see a bit of the island. Unfortunately, I didn't go to the catacombes, but I visited many villages and beaches. Plaka is a wonderful town. I ate very good souvlakia there and generally the food was very good, especially sweets with hulzenut and honey and those with pasta kataiphi. Beaches were very clear, definitely ...

General: Unbelievable sea but empty discos

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:44:11 GMT

Beaches on Milos are unbelievably beautiful. I have nothing more to say on this issue, only that the sea is the best possible!! Nightlife on Milos was almost nothing, except for restaurants and cafeterias, discos were empty...a little disappointing. Restaurants are good and not so expensive, but variety is poor, they are too much the same. Service is slow sometimes and I expected more fresh fis...

General: Gorgeous beaches and islets

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:44:11 GMT

We used several websites to gather information before we organize our vacations in Milos, but mainly Greeka.com and the Lonely Planet guide. The island was absolutely gorgeous. It had the most interesting geology I have seen. We stayed in Pollonia and truly loved this village! The beaches around Pollonia were incredible, mostly Tsigrado and Paliochori. Restaurants had good food and fairly price...

General: Such a beautiful island

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:44:11 GMT

It has to be one of my favorite islands. I'm really surpirised that it is not spoiled by tourists. It is so relaxing and there are tons of different beaches to choose from, each with a different theme. Also, there are some ancient monuments in the village of Tripiti. Great food. Adamas has a beautiful harbor. I'm definetely going back there many many many times. You won't regret going th...

Beaches: A picture from the moon

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:44:11 GMT

A picture from the moon, this is Sarakiniko! I was amazed to see such a beautiful beach in a small Greek island. I had seen the beach before in photos and tour guides, but from close it was even more gorgeous. I have taken some impressive photos from Sarakiniko and I have made them tapastries here, back home, in the bloody cold England...

Villages: Windmill

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:44:11 GMT

I came back in Italy but my soul remined in Tripiti, in the windmill of Evripides, the family which owns the restaurant "Methismeni Politia" (Drunken City). At down I saw an old man going slowly to the port with his donkey, in the evening I met Mrs Evripides who spoke me only Greek and I felt that if I had payed enough attention I would have found the way to understand, inside my soul. She giv...

Villages: Not for the young

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:44:11 GMT

Plaka is the capital of Milos but it is actually not much developed. I thought Adamas was more appropriate for tourists. Plaka is nice to go for a walk and have a coffee. But there are no big bars to have fun, just some pubs spread here and there. It has some places to stay, but I would advice you to choose somewhere close to the beach and especially if you are young and crazy for nightlife.

General: Good food and prices

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:44:11 GMT

I enjoyed much the beaches, the museums and villages of Milos. The people were friendly and were very helpful with all we did. The island is not that commercial and people can enjoy areas that are quiet and enjoyable. The bus service on Milos is not as good as some others. Don't forget to visit the museum of antiquites about the early settlers of the island. Also enjoy the sea food at the tav...

Beaches: Sarakiniko the best

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:44:11 GMT

I was always looking for pure Greek atmosphere with not too much touristic approach and therefore I was fully happy to discover Milos. Sarakiniko was indeed perfect, a landscape from the moon. I have the best pictures of Milos from Sarakiniko. Also give a try to the tavern "I omorfi varka" in Adamas. Cozy atmosphere and delicious tyropita.

Aproaching Milos with the ferry you first see a beautiful, nearly closed enormous bay, with a little harbour. But walking in the uggly harbour, looking for accommodation, you are asking yourself what you shall do on this island? Rent a scooter or a car and you will change your mind. A charming little village-harbour for a stay for several days is Pollonia. On the other side of the island. You'l...
