things to do in milos 👙
embrace a slower pace of life basking, swimming, and shopping along the island’s rugged rim carved by centuries of wind and fire
the highest point in plaka, ascend the cobblestone steps past the church of panagia thalassitra for panoramic views over milos
Venetian Castle of Milos
a picturesque cycladic village, stroll around this quintessentially greek town hunting for bougainvillea, popping into handmade craft shops, and admiring the striking blue doors
Plaka
my favorite fisherman's village on the island, tan on the rooftops of colorful boat sheds in this pastel wonderland. an unorganized oceanside spot with flat, free parking next door, don't expect any sand but there is a small café nearby selling provi...
Mandrakia
an otherworldly outcropping of white rock that feels like you've landed on the moon—this is my favorite beach of all time. arrive at sunrise to watch the entire site glow, then cliff jump off the rocks assuming there's a low north wind. unorganized, ...
Sarakiniko Beach
the smallest village on the island, find a few cool-toned cottages around the sandy beach with both an organized and unorganized section. drive down and around winding mountain roads to reach this secluded cove—during which your signal may drop off—a...
Firopotamos
the final of milos's most famous fishing villages, these colorful two-stories are built so close to the water a passing ferry crashes waves inside them; the lone souvenir shop here fills with water each time. would not recommend swimming off the rock...
Klima
a cave cove surrounded by staggering cliffs, you'll need to ignore the “don't go” sign and scoot down a precarious rock face to make it down here—but the risk is undoubtedly worth the reward. the rock itself is quite dusty and easily covers your clot...
Papafragas Cave
a secluded beach only accessible by climbing down TWO rickety ladders, this steep cliffside descent with sliding sand pushed my limits, and i ultimately decided to not risk it on the second ladder (which looked to be holding on for dear life by a thr...
Tsigrado Beach
next door to tsigrado, fyriplaka is much more easily accessed with a flat, free parking lot right above it. an unorganized stretch of sand with rusty red cliffs in the background sits next to the organized beach club loungers, plus kayak and boat ren...
Fyriplaka Beach
a soft stretch of warm golden sand on the south side of the island, the majority of the beach is unorganized with the most luxurious loungers i found across the whole island available to rent. parking is available in the muses lot.
Provatas Beach
a beach only accessible by boat, it can get quite windy and is often the first swim/snorkel stop during a kleftiko boat tour—i arrived with the help of delfinia boat tours
Gerontas Beach
a one-of-a-kind milos experience, sail around staggering white cliffs and caves where pirate ships used to hide before swimming under them with pool noodles, cliff jumping off them, laying out and basking in the sun, or snorkeling in the crystal-clea...
Kleftiko Beach
where to eat in milos 🐙
a curation of favorites from quaint greek tavernas to elevated resort restaurants, these are the best restaurants in milos
immaculate plaka rooftop café with an ocean view and cozy boho cushions to lounge on—a freddo cap or sunset cocktails are a must
Mosaic Milos
a local institution serving homemade greek pastries baked just like granny used to make them, the perfect spot to try karpouzopita aka watermelon pie
Café Palaios
the main restaurant in mandrakia famous for their line of freshly-caught octopus hanging out to dry, watch the waves crash while dining at the infamous milos restaurant where j biebs purportedly dined (without reservations, expect to wait in line)
Medusa
fine dining at the domes white coast resort, these were the most beautifully plated, tastiest dishes i encountered on the whole island topped off with a striking sunset view
Makris
one of the only dining options on the south side of the island, recommended for their traditional fresh catch of the day given the owner is a fisherman himself
Muses
a cooking concept you've never seen before, dig into dishes cooked under the heat of volcano sand in this boho, beachfront lounge bumping house beats—and the plates aren't the only hot items here
Sirocco Volcanic Restaurant
conveniently located in adamas near the ferry port, grab authentic sweet and savory greek pastries like bougatsa or feta pie to-go before your journey to the next island
Artemis Bakery
