Milos
The magical island of Milos is fast becoming one of the most sought after destinations in the Mediterranean.
With its extraordinary and unique geology and topography, visitors are in for an assault on the senses. Vividly coloured cliffs and beaches, caused by mining and volcanic activity, are accompanied by hot springs and incredible landscapes.
Add to that the unique colourful fishing villages, over 70 stunning beaches, a thriving food and wine scene, wonderful boutique hotels and small resorts, and picture postcard perfect vistas. It’s the perfect place for water activities and sailing trips here are some of the most popular in Greece.
If you are visiting the Cyclades, then be sure to put Milos on your itinerary. And book early as this largely undeveloped island sells out fast each summer!
Milos Tips:
- Like most islands, we recommend a minimum of three nights on Milos, but four or five is better, especially if you want to relax and take it all in, Greek style!
- It is possible to fly to Milos as there is a small airport. It does only take small ATR places however, and they are sometimes affected if the Meltimi is blowing.
- Milos is one island where you really do need a car. It is not particularly big, but things are very spread out, and there can be long walks and waits at bus stops. You can also hire ATV’s but be warned the island is very dusty and in summer you can end up looking like a crumbed lobster!
- With 73 beaches, Milos is very beach focused. It’s a fantastic summer destination, but in the off-season there is not a lot to do.
- Milos is in the western Cyclades, so it is well connected with the other islands on that ferry trajectory, such as Santorini, Sifnos, and Kithnos. It is not well connected with the islands in the eastern Cyclades, such as Paros and Naxos, and often the ferry that does that route is the smallest of the fleet. Bluestar do not service Milos.
- Due to its location it is not possible to do a day trip to Milos other than from Sifnos and Kimolos.
