Villas in Milos

Villas on the Greek Isle of Milos

Milos is a small but dazzling island in the Aegean Sea. Wild, unique and authentic, it is pure Greek essence. Visitors can choose from various villas in Milos near one of its traditional villages, such as Zafupia, right in the middle of the island. Alternatively, book a villa in Milos near Adamas, the main town on the island with the most vibrant nightlife scene and greatest array of restaurants, or right on the coast. The villas in the southeast are particularly spectacular. Wherever you stay, even if you get a holiday rental in Paros, the ferry services and the island's small size means you will be in touching distance of all its superb natural and cultural sites.

Villas for the holiday of a lifetime

Imagine spacious open-plan living and kitchen areas with large patio doors opening onto a terrace with a large dining area bordering your private pool. That’s your villa in Milos! The villas also come with:

• Manicured gardens
• Shinning white walls
• Spacious interiors
• Internet

Milos for hiking enthusiasts

Milos draws tourists to explore the many leisurely hiking trails that dot the island. The short hike to Kleftiko Cove is perhaps the single most stunning walk on the island. The cove is surely taken straight from a fairy tale, with the bluest water and some of the most sea-to-sky dramatic cliffs you will ever see. The hike to the colourful fishing village of Klima, perched on the ocean, is another Milos delight. Walk down to the village from Trypiti, and you will get an eagle’s view of the kaleidoscope boathouses, which combine wonderfully with the turquoise ocean water. If you have a villa in Antiparos, you can take a ferry to enjoy the outdoors in Milo.

Milos for adrenaline seekers

Milos offers adrenaline seekers amazing cliff-jumping opportunities, with Sarakiniko being the number one spot for adrenaline junkies. A path from the beach leads up to volcanic rocks with a natural bridge. From here, you can jump into the ocean on the other side. Enjoy an unforgettable summer day activity that will make you feel so alive! Adrenaline seekers can also participate in fun water sports like snorkelling and paddleboarding. For additional fun, get a holiday letting in Antiparos a short ferry ride from Milos and enjoy speed boating and other water sports.

Milos for beach bums

The great charm of Milos is its coastline and beaches, each one different and unique, and many offer complete solitude. There is so much to choose from, such as Firopotamos Beach, a gorgeous cove set between colourful fishermen's houses crowned by a church and boasting transparent, turquoise water. Sarakiniko is an area of whimsical moonscape cliffs with a small inlet of water that is ideal for children, and the contrast of the white rock with the turquoise blue of the water is remarkable. If you want to explore other beaches on the nearby island, you can take a ferry and book a villa in Paros for a two-day trip on the island.

1. Explore Chora, the most beautiful village in Milos

Chora is the most widely photographed village on the island and the perfect embodiment of a Greek town, with well-kept white houses, churches and gorgeous little shops. An authentic experience not-to-be-missed! The other picturesque village worth a visit is Klima in the south of Plaka. It is a small fishing village with beautiful views. From your villa in Milos, you can walk to the beach and photograph the colourful houses lining the shores.

2. Pay a visit to colourful Plaka

Plaka is a fishing village chock-a-block with colourful houses facing out to the sea. This place simply oozes charm and is surprisingly free of tourists even in the height of summer. Plaka is a picturesque villa with Cycladic architecture from the 1800s. You can stroll through the paved alleys and white-washed houses and watch out for lovely spots throughout the town. Stop by traditional restaurants, cafes, taverns, and walking paths lined with ceramic pots and tiny gardens. If you have a villa in Milos, visit the village late in the afternoon for the sunset!

3. Go back in time at the amphitheatre and catacombs

If you are looking for a cultural day out, then visit the well-preserved Roman amphitheatre of Milos and the catacombs, both located near the town of Trypiti. You can smell the history oozing from the bricks, and entrance to the amphitheatre is free! If you want to explore the Greek culture further, book a villa in Naxos where you can explore Kastro, the site of the Venetian castle. Naxos serves up various cultural and historical features of the Greek culture.

4. Discover Milos through the eyes of locals

Trypiti is one of those completely authentic towns that get unnoticed by the tourist crowd. This is where locals go about their daily lives, in some cases just like their forefathers did generations yonder. Hole up in a street-side café, order a drink and watch the world go sleepily by.

5. Explore the island by boat

Take a South Milos boat tour, the ideal way to see the highlights of this glorious Greek Island. Don’t miss the tours to the world-famous Kleftiko and Sarakiniko beaches and your chance to swim in the crystal blue water. Sarakiniko Beach is popular for its vivid turquoise waters and unique rock formations, creating spectacular views. From the boat, you can get an excellent view of the results of the volcanic activity in the area.

6. Discover the ancient city of Phylakopi

A significant Cycladic settlement, Phylakopi was among the most important Aegean cities in prehistoric Greece. Discover ruins and remnants dating back to the beginning of the Bronze Age. With imposing walls built of volcanic stone, the Temple and the City Palace are still visible all these years later.

7. Have a wonderfully regrettable night out

The island’s port town Adamas is home to most of its rambunctious bars and clubs, which are open until the early morning hours. For a more relaxed vibe, Pollonia boasts many lounge bars and 8 Beaufort, a superb nightclub right on the water. From your villa in Milos, you can walk to various interesting night spots.
