Perched high above the Aegean on the sun-kissed island of Milos, Plaka is a village that effortlessly blends charm, history, and breathtaking views. It was a landscape that set the stage for a trip filled with golden sunsets, mouthwatering meals, and crystal-clear swims. From rustic tavern feasts to volcanic-oven seafood dinners, days were spent exploring secret coves and evenings lingered over Aperols. Below, all the best spots to try in Milos, Greece.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where to stay …<\/h3>\n

We stayed in Plaka, a charming little village high up on the island of Milos. We were booked to stay at Odyssey Rock<\/a>, a small boutique hotel with a number of split-level abodes with the most incredible views.<\/p>\n

At sunset people flocked to the area with Aperols in hand to watch the sun go down. Having our own private terrace made it incredibly special and lush.<\/p>\n

Where to eat …<\/h3>\n

O! Hamos! Tavern<\/a> is a must \u2013 we ate there twice. Open from lunch and dinner, there are no bookings, so wait times can be up to three hours for a table. But, the food is incredible. A family-style tavern with extremely generous portions. Probably my all-time favourite on the island.<\/p>\n

Sirocco Volcanic Restaurant<\/a> is a swankier establishment who have a natural underground volcanic ‘oven’. It’s a beautiful dinner experience where you get to select your own catch of the day, then watch it be prepared and get buried underground.<\/p>\n

A simple no frills gyros from the port at Milos is the sensation you didn\u2019t know you needed and so essential. I can\u2019t remember the name but look for the crowd of people with paper-wrapped gyros in hand.<\/p>\n

Lunch at Medusa<\/a> \u2013 where the iconic medusa hang in the sun to dry in the little colourful fisherman’s village \u2013 is a must. Patience is key in securing a table. And after lunch, go for a swim nearby at the little village marina to wash off the wine fog.<\/p>\n

Sunset drinks at the rooftop bar Mosaic<\/a> in Plaka.<\/p>\n

Yialos<\/a> for lunch or dinner in Pollonia. The mussels were perfect.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What to do …<\/h3>\n

Hire a boat and skipper for the day to take you to kleftiko and secret swimming coves that can\u2019t be accessed by land.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t want to climb down the rickety ladder at Tsigrado beach, you can access it this way by boat.<\/p>\n

Hire a car or quad bikes to get around the island.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where to swim …<\/h3>\n

Tsigrado. However, there is a steep climb down a rickety ladder. Not for the faint-hearted, but fun nonetheless.<\/p>\n

Sarakiniko, the famous moon beach. It’s an incredible landscape and swim spot, with a famous rock jump that you can do (or if not your jam you can soak the sun and spectate and judge the form of the jumpers).<\/p>\n\n
