How to get to Milos Island, Greece

Milos is connected with the port of Piraeus in Athens. The journey time from Athens to Milos by ferry is around 5 to 7 hours, depending on which ferry you take and the stops the ferry will make during its course to Milos.

Santorini to Milos

A ferry from Santorini to Milos can take as short as 2 hours for €52.90 up to 6 hours for €22.

You can book from these online sites which I use: Greeka, Direct Ferries or Ferry Connection.

If you’re already in Greece and are coming to Milos from another island, you would want to come via ferry as it’s the easiest way to do so.

Since there are many ferry companies that operate in Greece, I found Ferryscanner to aggregate the different ferry schedules and prices into one easy platform for comparison.

The best thing is, almost all of the ferry bookings made via their website has a free cancellation policy!

2. Sarakiniko, Milos, Greece

It is no wonder, for it is not common to see smooth limestone rocks that make up this Milos beach. Those rocks are eroded by time, wind and salt water, and have small and huge hollows all over them.

Sarakiniko is not the most accessible beaches in Milos, Greece. The walk to the beach is not difficult, but you do have to park your car high up near the road and then walk down a foot path to reach the sea.

On hindsight, if I were to choose again the best place to stay in Milos, I would definitely pick Plaka to stay at.

Here are some popular hotels in Plaka:

• Vivere A Plakes (from USD 53) – Loved for their personalized, homely service and convenient location
• Halara Studios (from USD 105) – Loved for its excellent location, it being perched on a hill in Plaka

5. Tripiti, Milos, Greece

Composed of soft volcanic rock, Tripiti stands on a hill. Land and life is pretty much barren save for shrubbery. A peaceful little village where locals reside along the narrow streets. Tripiti is a 10 minute walk up the slope to Plaka.

Where to stay in Tripiti, Milos, Greece

We stayed here at a boutique hotel in Milos, Greece called Palaios Rooms. It’s an ideal Milos accommodation if you crave personal space and quiet time with your companion, otherwise it is a rather inaccessible village to live in.

On the flipside, for a low cost (33€/ S$25 per night for two), there is a considerable room size with a balcony, on top of a stove, kitchen sink and microwave! Run by locals, Palaios Rooms gives off a homely vibe.

Another option could be Chaido Studios. This family-run property offers wonderful views of the coast and sea. The close proximity to nice small restaurants also makes it highly attractive.

6. Pollonia, Milos, Greece

This fishing settlement has a beach with a rich seaside. Accompanying it are a couple of taverns, restaurants and island cafes around the village.

Small boats, sea-taxis and ferry-boats transfer you from Pollonia to the neighboring island of Kimolo within 30 minutes.

Caught a bubbly family doing exercises on the beach. There were at least 3 generations in this picture alone. When was the last time you went on a holiday with your parents and grandparents?

The houses are all in my favourite colours, even the barricades!

Milos is an underrated little island that I loved way more than Santorini on my last trip to Greece. It had a more authentic feel, not as if the whole island was made for the purpose of tourists.

The little streets you enter and the distinct blue and white colours you’ll see is what sets Milos island apart from all others.
