The hilltop capital

📍 Κεντρική Μήλος 👥 830(2021) residents ⛰ 220m

Plaka is the capital of Milos, perched proudly atop a rocky hill with panoramic views over the bay. Narrow cobblestone paths, whitewashed churches and traditional Cycladic houses create a scene that feels like a painting. At dusk, the sunset from Plaka's kastro is among the most spectacular in the Aegean.
