Where to Stay in Milos

Milos is the volcanic island of the western Cyclades, known for its moon-like white rocks at Sarakiniko, the sea caves of Kleftiko, colourful fishing villages such as Klima and Firopotamos, and more than 70 beaches in every colour.

Where to stay: choose your base

• Adamas – the main port, with tavernas, shops and boat trips, a practical base in the middle of the island.
• Plaka and Tripiti – the hilltop capital, with lanes, sunset views from the castle and the catacombs nearby.
• Pollonia – a calm fishing village in the north-east, with fish tavernas and boats to Kimolos.
• Paleochori and the south – colourful volcanic cliffs and beaches, quieter and more remote.
