Where to stay on Milos...

Accommodation on Milos is a relatively simple affair – mostly, in the form of guestrooms, studios and apartments on top of or near islander’s homes. But there are some traditional hotels too.
You might like to do some village or beach hopping while you're on Milos. Here are some options to consider along with some descriptions of the villages on the island.

Plaka
As mentioned above, Plaka is a beyond cute little village nestled into the side of the hill, with great views. There are some great little bars, a handful of tavernas, a lovely cake/dessert shop as well as some nice little boutiques. It is a quiet and special place. It is not on a beach, but we love exploring all of Milos’ 78 beaches, so it would feel too rude to choose just one as a base!

Accommodation Options:
Taylor's House - Cute, traditional Cydladic house in central Plaka. Sleeps a maximum of three.

Anoi House - Gorgeous, traditional Cycladic house in Plaka. Sleeps a maximum of three.

Kastro Milos - For those who love a view, and don’t mind a walk, here is some beautiful, traditional accommodation on one of the highest points on the island.

Museum Apartments - Traditionally-styled apartments in central Plaka. Could be good for two couples etc.

Tripiti
Tripiti is a five minute walk down from the village of Plaka and is where the reception will be. It is an area with a rich history – being where they found the Venus de Milo statue which is now in the Louvre. Nearby also, is the ancient amphitheatre and the oldest Christian burial catacombs that have ever been found.

The village stands on a hill sloping down the sea and owes its name to the soft volcanic rock it stands on which gives the impression of having being perforated (= tripiti).

Picturesque white windmills stand on the highest point of the village, some of which have been transformed into rooms for rent.

Thalia House - A suite with a big veranda with sea views

Armenis House – A traditional two bedroom house which sleeps up to four. Adjoining apartment also sleeps four.

I also like the look of these apartments, but we might have to negotiate with owner to keep them open through September!

There are also some rooms right near the reception venue. They’re not on the web, but if you’re
interested we can give you the contact phone number.


Adamas

The seaside village of Adamas is Milos’ hub. It’s the largest town on the island, serves as its port and is also the nearest village to the airport. Here’s where you’ll find the majority of the island’s banks, the post-office, doctors, tourist agencies, port police, hotels and.... bars!

Some options include:
Hotel Ostria - relatively new, nice hotel with a large balcony that is across the street from Adamas's skinny Papakinou beach.

Zac Marie - A four minute walk from the centre of town, and 300 metres from the beach, these rooms are cute and comfy.

Villa Notos Over the road from Lagada Beach, this is swanky Milos!

Santa Maria A ten minute walk from town via a little path, this hotel as a pretty view and a pimping pool.

Lagada Hotel This is one of Milos' biggest hotels. It's right on little Lagada Beach and while the rooms are quite basic, it has a pool and a tennis court and is very central to the port.

Villa Zampeta - Right on Papakinou Beach, nicely done accommodation.

Studios Helios - Nicely decked out rooms in Central Adamas.

Paleohori



This is an amazing, long beach with colourful red and yellow cliffs. There are a couple of nice restaurants overlooking the beach and some bungalows. Paleohori is a 15 minute drive from Adamas, and would be a pretty quiet, but beautiful place to stay.




Pollonia

This is a gorgeous little fishing village, set on a bay, at the top of the island, 15 minutes drive from Adamas. There is a string of tavernas and bars, and some lovely rooms. There are some rocks here that look like they might be good to fish from *cough, Gough*.
