Orientation

The best place to stay in Milos is probably Adamos, the port city with a lot of tourist-oriented infrastructure. Most activity is concentrated on the waterfront, where you’ll find many restaurants and tourist agencies. The bus stop is opposite the ATE Bank, where the Plaka-bound main road adjoins the waterfront. Plenty of cheap domatias can be found in the labyrinthine streets directly behind the waterfront. The island’s capital is Plaka, a hilltop city some 6km north of Adamos. Its upper part is a maze of narrow streets with many cafes that offers many unexpected scenic views, while down the hill you’ll find the Archeological Museum, the hospital, and the road that will lead you to Trypiti’s catacombs. While you’re in Plaka, don’t forget to climb the hill to Panagia Thalassitra Monastery, from which you can see the entire island.
