My Favorite Airbnb: A Dreamy Home on Milos With Sunset Views of the Aegean

"A charming cliffside town located on the northwestern part of Milos, offering stunning 270-degree views over the Bay of Adamantas. Known for its traditional Cycladic style, whitewashed houses, and vibrant yet not overly touristy atmosphere."

Stunning view of Milos, perfect for the sunset. Might get a bit crowded in high season, I would recommend to arrive before. You do have to go up a few stairs, but it’s not too hard to go up. Be careful going down, can be slippery some rocks.

Short steep hike with breathtaking view of the blue hues of the Mediterranean … special spot to visit while on the isle of Milos!

This is the highest point on Milos, you’ll have to walk through Plaka and then ascend a lot of steps (like anything else in Greece). You will not be able to park close. Follow street signs for Κάστρο. (Basically keep walking up) Please note, this is NOT a “castle”, just another small Greek chapel. The spectacular panoramic views are complete 360°, like nowhere else on the island. There was a fair amount of tourists (early June season), so hike up ahead of the sunset. Also, exercise caution after dark on the way down.

Incredible view on whole Milos. Nothing else to see as church is closed. Road and stairs difficult to climb.

Gorgeous 360° view, and the steps aren’t that hard to climb

The place is in a quaint little town called Plaka. There cobbled streets with white houses and blue doors are picturesque. The views from the castle is great. It is a small hike up. Remember to carry water with you. There are no rest rooms or toilets in there.

Best place for a sunset. Grab a takeaway drink in the town area, then head up the path. Short but steep walk up, not hard, but the path is uneven, so where good shoes. It gets really busy, but heaps of cool areas to park up and look across the ocean to see the sun setting.

Climbed up to the castle for sunrise! An amazing experience with astounding views of the whole island. We didn’t see anyone else while we were up there at 7ish am totally private.
