Milos splits neatly in two: the north holds the port of Adamas and the chalk-white lunar rock of Sarakiniko, while the south-west holds the sea caves of Kleftiko, reachable in practice only from the water. Nearly every tour here points at that second half.

Two halves of the island
In the north, Adamas is the main port, Sarakiniko’s white volcanic rock is a short drive away, and the hilltop village of Plaka offers sunset views. The south and west are wilder. Kleftiko, named after the thieves said to have hidden there, is a cluster of arches and caves you reach by boat.

Adamas, the port, has the most services and suits early departures. Plaka and Pollonia suit those who want a village feel and a quieter evening. Milos is reached by ferry from Piraeus, with slower boats taking several hours, or by a short flight from Athens.
