General presentation
Milos
Volcanic island with spectacular shapes, white coves, fishing villages, catacombs, colorful beaches and boat trips.
The discovery of Milos revolves around Sarakiniko, Kleftiko and Plaka. The stay thus alternates between island landscapes, the coastline, volcanic landscapes and natural spaces, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be expected: weather-dependent boat and very exposed beaches. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Town or village
Sarakiniko
Sarakiniko looks like a cast of white stone carved by the sea, with hollows, low arches and smooth platforms diving into blue water. The site is very exposed to the sun and wind, making it particularly striking early in the morning or when the sea remains calm.
Town or village
Kleftiko
Kleftiko It is discovered mainly by boat, at the foot of white cliffs pierced by caves, arches and narrow passages. The water takes on almost unreal hues, and the bathing pauses allow you to grasp the volcanic relief of Milos from the sea.
Town or village
Plaka
Plaka dominates Milos with its white alleys, stairs, small squares and remains of the kastro above the village. The climb rewards with wide views of the Gulf, the islands and the mineral colours of the island, especially at the end of the day.
