Things to Do in Milos

You’re on an island, so hit the beach—Milos has almost 70 of them! Whether you’re looking for soft sand, excellent snorkelling, sea caves or cute little beach bars, you can have your pick. The island’s most famous beach, Sarakiniko, is just a starting point.

Don’t just lie around on the sand all day. Start exploring! Visit the charming village of Plaka, known for its amazing sunsets, or Tripiti, where the past will come alive as you explore the village’s ancient theatre, catacombs and windmills.

You’ll find accommodation in Milos that will make you feel like a god or goddess up on Mt. Olympus. Ready for some ambrosia? The island is home to plenty of amazing restaurants that offer fresh seafood, your favourite Greek dishes and local specialities pitarakia and karpouzopita.

Getting to Milos

Milos is just a hop, skip, and a jump from the Greek capital city of Athens. If you’ve booked Athens accommodation, you can easily breeze over to Milos for a day trip. The tiny Milos Island National Airport accepts a few flights a day directly from Athens. You can also take the ferry over from several different Greek ports. Once you land on the island, take a taxi to your Milos accommodation. A public bus system operates on the island and is a useful way of getting around to different cities and beaches.

Ready for your island getaway? Unlike the gods on Mt. Olympus, you can’t just magically appear on Milos. Visit Wotif instead to find great prices on Milos hotels—or, if you want an adventure in a bigger (and even more historic!) city, book one of our Athens deals today!
