We combined this visit with a trip to the Catacombs which made the walk worthwhile. We parked in town and walked. It's a fair way but well signposted with reasonable paths. There are also information boards which were helpful. No amenities to speak of.

A place displaced in time. It seems to have stopped in the Middle Ages. There was even a bard inside !!! An exhibition with ancient musical instruments very interesting. The place offers beautiful views and is very well maintained. Free entrance.
3. Zephyros

Zephyros offers two routes daily, one in the morning (10:00 - 14:00) and one in the afternoon (15:00 - 19:00) from 1st of June until the end of September. We start from the beach of Agios Sostis, which is located in the southern part of the island, next to Provatas beach. Our first stop for swimming is “Gerontas” beach, for about half an hour. Next stop at Kleftiko for about 1-1 ½ hours, so there is plenty of time for swimming and visiting the caves with the dinghy rubber boat. The price is 27 € for adults and 15 € for children up to 12 years old. We also offer iced tea, iced coffee (frappé), local raki and homemade appetizers (included in the price).

Nice, clean and cozy boat, the best way to visit Kleftiko and Gerontas, two of the nicest Beaches of Milos that are almost impossible to reach by road. Kind and Friendly staff, nice snacks, raki, coffee and other refreshment drinks. The whole cruise lasts 4 hours and the time that you can spent on Kleftiko beach is 90 minutes, long enough to swim around the caves, but also to have some time on the inflatable boat around, in groups of 10 people, along with a crew member, guiding. For me, there is no reason to take a whole island tour that lasts 10 hours. You can reach almost every beach by road. Zephyros was the best choice for us to visit these unreachable Beaches. 4 hours for that trip, for the price of 27 euros per person, I think it was fair enough.
We really enjoyed every minute of that trip and we highly recommend it amongst any other boat trip of Milos island.

Fantastic if you like "adventuring" while swimming - perfect for checking out caves and swimming through holes in the rocks. Also perfect on a very hot day when you'd like to mostly swim in the shade (though also good for swimming in the sun- it's just that the sun is more easily avoidable here). I'd avoid when there are strong winds for safety reasons as well as if you have young children. It seems like you must be a bit fit to climb the steep path down to the beach.

Catacombs in Milos are one of 3 most old Catacombs discovered maybe even older than Rome one ! Tour took 15 minutes, you can take photos inside but just without flesh and ticket cost 4 euro each and there are some discounts possible. Each tour max 10 people but was not so crowdy when we were there so you do not need to wait to long for your tour

The Museum is centrally located and only few minutes from the bus stop in Plaka. I was surprised by the quality and number of historical exhibits for an island. Once you are in museum you can not miss the inspiring statue of Venus de Milo that is a copy of original discovered in 1820 (produced around 100 BC) on the island of Melos. The original was presented to Louis XVIII, who donated it to the Louvre. The goddess originally wore metal jewelry.The arms were never found.

This was one of my favorite spots in Milos. The view of the white rocks against the blue-green sea water is quite beautiful. The rocks do get very hot however given the reflection off the sun. The water felt cold in comparison but your body adjusts to it once inside for a few minutes. It’s definitely not the most comfortable spot to lie in the sun for a tan as it does get quite hot and there’s no soft sandy area. But, overall, it is very unique and a must-see if you’re in Milos.

Being one of the very few shops that do not sell trinkets and other tourists' souvenirs, it stands indeed out of the rest. It sells self-made bijoi, sandals and hats and some other knick-knack. Re clothing, they had typically one to few sizes (mostly the wrong ones). Nice, but limited and not unique at all.
I rate no more than 3*, just being better than the other "zero stars" on Plaka.
If you want to do some good shopping, go to another island!

An intriguing studio where creative photographer Dimitris Tsirigotis exhibits his artistic work. Experimenting with light and colors, he applies long exposure technigues to create unigue images.
Reviewed By MarcT555 - Phoenix
Adjacent to the Folk Museum, church and the best view of sunsets on Milos, The Art House certainly has location nailed. But they are thin on art. Great for some souvenir photos that are better than you can take yourself but I did not find anything compelling here. YMMV. The proprietor is a very nice man, BTW.
