I recently spent a few slow days on the island of Milos – a place that feels both wild and wonderfully peaceful. So, here are a few favourites if you ever find yourself on this little Cycladic gem. A gentle guide to exploring Milos, the arkitaip way.

Where to Stay
Plaka – Charming hilltop village with great views, traditional Cycladic charm, and walkable restaurants and cafes.
Firopotamos – A peaceful seaside spot if you prefer to wake up to the sound of waves.
DAY 1
AM
Grab a coffee and spanakopita to go from Dimello Bakery in Plaka.
Head to Paleochori Beach - easy scooter access, clear waters, and colorful cliffs.
Lunch at Pelagos Taverna – relaxed and right by the beach.
Midday Adventure
Take a scenic drive to Klima, a picturesque fishing village with colorful boat houses.
Head to Utopia for sunset drinks – a popular, laid-back spot with a perfect view.
PM
Dinner in Plaka at Kyra (great for brunch too).
Cap it off with orange cake or ice cream at Palaios.
DAY 2

Sunrise at Sarakiniko – the otherworldly "Moon Beach" is best enjoyed before the crowds.
