The Milos Travel Guide

Some islands whisper; Milos sings. This remarkable Cycladic gem doesn't just offer another postcard-perfect Greek escape—it reimagines what an island paradise can be. Ancient volcanic forces have crafted a dreamscape where chalk-white cliffs embrace turquoise waters. Every turn reveals landscapes that feel both otherworldly and deeply grounding.

With more than 70 beaches scattered around its coastline, Milos offers an intimate relationship with the sea. Each cove tells its own story, from hidden gems accessible only by boat to expansive stretches where you can walk for hours with gentle waves as your companion. It's a perfect island for travellers seeking picturesque landscapes and a calming escape, where the Mediterranean reveals its quieter side.

Sarakiniko is where wind and sea have shaped the land into something unforgettable. The pale volcanic rock, smooth and bright as bone, rises beside the Aegean like a sculpture carved by nature. Come early or stay for sunset. Let your feet find cool stone, your eyes meet the horizon. Locals call it Moon Beach, and when the light softens in the evening, you’ll see why.

Plaka is where the heart of Milos beats slow and steady. Perched high above the sea, this old town has soft corners and faded shutters, with laneways that invite you to get lost. You’ll find quiet chapels, lazy cats in the sun, and whitewashed walls that glow gold as the sun sinks. Walk uphill without a plan, and the best views find you. Stop for a scoop of fig ice cream, browse ceramics made just down the hill, and take your time. Plaka is a place to wander, linger, and feel completely, beautifully unhurried.

Pollonia curves around a quiet bay like an embrace. Fishing boats drift on water so clear you can count the pebbles below. This village speaks in soft gestures. Tamarisk trees line the shore, and the air carries the scent of salt and grilled octopus. At the water’s edge, tavernas serve the day’s catch, still glistening from the sea. Everything moves slower here, and that’s the beauty of it.

Enalion, Pollonia: Steps from the sea, with grilled octopus so tender it melts. Order the eggplant dip, and don’t skip dessert.

Medusa, Mandrakia: Known for their sun-dried octopus and a view that feels like a postcard. Go for lunch after Sarakiniko.

Barricello, Tripiti: Romantic, tucked away, and full of flavour. A perfect spot for a sunset dinner; try the seafood pasta or stuffed zucchini flowers.

Bakery in Plaka: You’ll smell it before you find it. Still-warm spanakopita, local honey, and the kind of bread you break slowly.

Fruit stands by the roadside: Stop for fresh figs, peaches, and whatever’s in season. Sweet, ripe, and unforgettable.

From Sarakiniko’s stillness to Pollonia’s calm, the colors and textures of our latest collection reflect the soul of this island. Whether you're layering now or dreaming of summer, this is your invitation to travel, even if just in spirit.
