The three main areas

Adamas

The port town. Ferries, car rental, buses and plenty of tavernas on the doorstep: the easiest base without a car.

Pollonia

A quiet fishing village in the north-east, with the ferry to Kimolos and some of the best fish tavernas on the island.

Plaka

The hilltop capital. Cycladic lanes, the Kastro at sunset and the liveliest evenings, but you will want a car for the beaches.

Book early for summer

Milos has far fewer beds than Santorini or Mykonos. For July and August, book two to four months ahead, especially in Pollonia and Plaka.

Car or no car

Without a car, stay in Adamas: buses and boat trips leave from the port. With a car, any base works, since nowhere on the island is more than 30 minutes away.

Shoulder season

June and September bring warm seas, quieter beaches and noticeably lower prices. Most places open from April or May to October.
