The guide was very... - The guide was very knowledgeable and clearly loves Milos, he was very proud but also honest in showing us the island with its beauty and challenges

Bring a swimsuit! - Amazing tour. Mario was super knowledgeable and we had a great time discovering Milos. Would recommend without hesitation.

Great Milos tour - This was a very enjoyable and informative tour. Our guide (Marios) was very knowledgeable about Milos.

Breathtaking Tour - This was a great experience to get to see all the main villages/towns in Milos. Then you can go back to the places you liked best. We went back to Sarakiniko and are planning to go back to Plaka to watch the sunset. The guide was soo knowledgeable and very friendly. He didn’t rush us. We even went to see the mines, thanks to the driver for his driving skills. I had no idea were even on Milos. Sarakiniko beach was breathtaking, he showed us the caves and gave us enough time to explore. We loved this tour and would highly recommend it.

Great visit. For... - Great visit. For this little excursion, you must like to contemplate the landscapes. Everything is beautiful. Our guide was fantastic as well as our driver. We were a group of 8 people. That was really great!

Milos Tour - Had a great time learning about the history of Milos! Our tour guide, Jones, was very nice and he showed us the best cafe/bakery called Mouratos. We went back multiple times during our trip.

Excellent Tour and Tour guide - Excellent tour and we visited interesting places. Tour guide was a great host, very knowledgeable and he provided plenty of time at each stop,

Milos - So Very Different Than We Thought and Pleasantly Pleased - Our time on Milos was made even better by Yannis' knowledge of the area. We were able to see so many spectacular sights and he brought history to life. From the Imerys Mines to the Lunar Landscape (must not miss), to Plaka, seeing where the farmer uncovered the Venus de Milo statue and used it as part of his fence to the Roman Amphitheater. Yannis was kind enough to drop us off at the port instead of our hotel. Great half day tour! Thanks Yannis

A holiday with some shade - We returned a few days ago from Milos, Greece. A 2 week holiday on which, my wife and I, placed great expectation, particularly after last year's wonderful holiday in Ikaria and Samos. Unfortunately we didn't report the same feelings. A light/dark holiday with some strengths and many defects. Arriving by plane from Athens we stayed at the Villa Zampeta hotel on the seafront of Adamantas (or Adamas). Nice hotel, few rooms, quiet, just outside (600-700 m.) the restaurant area of Adamas. Let’s start with the merits: the island is beautiful! Knowing the changing climate of the Cyclades especially in relation to Meltemi, already on Sunday 3rd (we had arrived on Saturday afternoon) we booked a tour of the island on a beautiful sailboat for Monday. Comfortable boat with two very good guys who, from 9 to 18:30, guided us to discover the island, sailing through bays, coves and sea caves without interruption. During the day several stops in some extraordinary places: Klima, a small village of colorful houses on the water (there is another similar, more famous, Mandrakia, where we then went by land); Polyaigos, a nearby small uninhabited island where we took the first dips of the day in a bay called Blu Lagoon; Palioremma, with the old abandoned mine, a sort of industrial archaeology with the very particular rust-colored beach in front; Paleochori (I will return later), Tsigkrado, a beach that is accessed by going down a wooden ladder hanging on the wall placed in a creek with wonderful water (second dive); then the extraordinary caves of Kleftiko with rather high white walls; and, finally, after a few more dips in other coves, return to the port. During the day the boys did not skimp on food and drinks: small welcome breakfast on board, aperitif, late morning snacks, lunch around 3:30 pm, dessert before disembarking; all strictly Greek cuisine prepared by them, excellent; bar available with any drink imaginable, including spirits (of which only a detestable French was used). We were also lucky because the other 14 people (plus us 2) were all young; another very nice Italian couple, 3 American girls, the French couple, a Greek couple, etc. A day cruise that alone is worth the trip. From Tuesday... Meltemi!!! With varying intensity he never left us for the whole holiday. The beaches to the north of the island, in fact, among the most famous - Sarakiniko, Fyropotamos, Mytakas, Voudia, etc. - we could only see them but it was impossible to practice the sea, too rough. One day when it seemed that the Meltemi was less intense we tried to stay on the secluded cove of Triades but after a little more than 1 hour we had to leave because the very thin grains of sand of the beautiful beach lifted by the wind were like so many pins on the skin. We were able to alternate a few days on the beaches in the south, a little more protected, such as Provatas, Firiplaka, the bay of Agia Kyriaki (where we stayed until dinner at an inn on the beach) and, above all, the beautiful and long beach of Paleochori. A little quieter were the beaches within the bay (almost a large lake, like that of Achivadólimnis, beautiful, very long and paradise for surfers. But most importantly, we saved the beach of the Adamas seafront. Certainly not among the most beautiful on the island but with the great advantage of starting 100 m. from the hotel and being rich in tamarisks by the sea (natural shade, beach, sea). But the downside was not so much the Meltemi that, being a natural event and going to the Cyclades, you have to take into account (even if the previous year, at the same time, we had the wind for a single day) but the tourist aspect. From this point of view Milos is no less than Mykonos or Santorini or any other tourist island. An island that is distorting itself with a dramatic increase in housing, residences, hotels, etc.: they are building everywhere! An abnormal flow of tourists also made up of many young people but, evidently, of good economic resources. And yes, because the island is expensive! Evidently, the huge flow of tourists has pushed up prices far beyond what can be expected from Greece. Starting with the hotel that, despite the positive opinion given at the beginning, does not justify the cost of € 155 per night without even breakfast. An espresso at the bar, standing not at the table, between 2 and 3 euros. More acceptable are the restaurants where the most we paid were the 90€ Mikros Apopleus on the Adamas seafront where we ordered 4 courses (which are generally very plentiful): 1 tzatziki with pita, 1 shrimp couscous, 1 sea bass carpaccio and 1 parrot fish, house wine. It must be said that turning around you can also find restaurants such as the Barko tavern, where you can dine excellent Greek cuisine for 40-45€ (always 4 courses with two draft beers). But what gives the measure of ‘over tourism are the number of restaurants and crowds that you find in any village on the island. The Adamas waterfront is a unique uninterrupted array of restaurants (almost) all above the water. Other villages on the island such as Pollonia and Trypiti are as delightful by day as they are infrequent at night as they become almost a single restaurant. The speech becomes paroxysmal for Plaka, the capital of the island. Located at the top, the village winds through sloping streets that also have their own charm with viewpoints of great beauty. Unfortunately the evening is literally unlivable because you can not even move a step since those streets are totally invaded by tables and tables and rows (!!!) of tourists waiting for dinner; I miss the square of Capri! There are other elements that give the measure of the expensive prices of the island. One is that browsing through the hotel offers I also found prices from over a thousand euros per night! 2 other elements we experienced directly. The first is when we went to Sarakiniko. We limited ourselves to seeing it from above not only because it was one of the days when it was difficult to get wet for Meltemi but also because the rocks (objectively very particular) were packed like our lido in mid-August. The other episode is at Paleochori beach. I have already said that it is one of the most beautiful on the island. Unfortunately, however, the beach faces south and is in full sun from dawn to dusk without a whiff of shade. Forced to use the Beach Acqua Loca lido the request was 50€ for the sunbeds and umbrella set! This already seemed incredible but the surprise was when I asked for a bottle of water and the menu was brought to me: no comment, take a look at the photo of the menu below! In conclusion if you go to Greece to look for isolated places, beaches with few people where the price of sunbeds is inclusive of consumption (and there are still many) do not go to Milos. Or, if you want to see the coast of the island which, I repeat, is extraordinary, go for three days, take a boat ride and then change the island. Ah! I forgot, better if not in August.

Totally overrated - For 15 years I spend at least 3 weeks in Greece every summer. I have seen many islands and each has left me with something beautiful and special. Even unforgettable. Milos was a total disappointment. I had high expectations given the many positive reviews on the island and the spectacular photos. The island is very large and inhabited in a very small part. Most of the houses and structures are dilapidated. Everything about Greece is missing: Flowers, Scents, Welcoming. The sea is beautiful and clear no more and no less than you would find on other islands. There are some quaint spots like Sarakiniko, but they are not worth a holiday. The food is good quality almost everywhere. Prices are exaggeratedly high, at Santorini level so to speak, without any justification. Here there is nothing that recalls the Cyclades... forget the white and blue houses with bougainvillea: here it is almost all ruined and sloppy. The centre of Plaka offers a small crossroads of characteristic and beautiful streets. Pollonia the prettiest village with the best maintained and maintained facilities, but you will find only a few restaurants and a couple of shops there. Terrible Adamantas apart from a small area of the harbor and waterfront with some local/restaurant. The island is subject to a very strong Meltemi that often prevents you from staying on the beach. There is much more to visit in Greece before Milos, Believe me!
