Where to sleep
Choosing the right area to stay in Milos largely depends on your interests and the type of experience you're looking for.
Here's a breakdown of the main areas on the island and what they have to offer:
1. Adamas (Adamantas)
- Adamas is the main port and commercial hub of Milos. It's the most convenient base as it offers easy access to ferry connections, shops, restaurants, and car rental agencies. Accommodations here range from budget-friendly to mid-range, making it suitable for various budgets. If you prefer to be in the center of the action, Adamas is a good choice.
2. Pollonia
- Pollonia, located on the northeastern coast of the island, is a charming fishing village with a relaxed and romantic atmosphere. It's known for its beautiful beaches, excellent seafood restaurants, and picturesque surroundings. Pollonia is ideal for couples and those seeking a tranquil getaway.
3. Milos Beaches
- If your primary goal is to spend your days on the beach, consider staying in accommodations near the beach of your choice. Popular beachfront areas include Sarakiniko, Firopotamos, and Klima, where you can find lodging options with direct access to the sea.
Transportation Considerations:
Keep in mind that while Milos is a relatively small island, having your own transportation (car, scooter, or ATV) can provide the flexibility to explore different areas. If you don't plan to rent a vehicle, staying in a town with good bus connections like Adamas or Plaka can be advantageous.

How many days should you stay?
4 to 5 days are really okay but it's up to you! If you are the type of person who stays all day long in just one beach and takes things slowly you should stay 7 days but if you like more to explore and visit one place in the morning and one in the afternoon, 4 full days are perfect!

When to go
If you can avoid visiting during July and August which are the most crowded months, the best time to visit Milos would be from late spring (May) to early summer (June) or early autumn (September) to mid-autumn (October). During these periods, the weather is pleasant, and the island is less crowded, allowing you to enjoy its beauty without the peak season rush :)
