The Best Neighborhoods to Stay in Milos – Pros & Cons

Milos is one of the many wonderful islands Greece has to offer; however, not all neighborhoods will fit your needs, whether you are traveling on a budget or want to enjoy your trip with comfortable accommodations.

Besides, everyone is unique and will want to do different things, from hiking and visiting monuments to simply resting in the sun and enjoying some quality time. However, this is not always easy to do when you don’t have access to a car, especially on such a wild island as Milos.

Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered: let’s dive into the list of the best areas to stay in Milos without a car!

THE BEST place to stay in Milos without a car: Adamas

Adamas is the main port of the island of Milos and thus the best place to base your stay in, especially if you don’t have access to a car: from there, you will be able to reach all the island, have the largest amount of possibilities when it comes to facilities such as restaurants and shops and is connected to the rest of the island by frequent bus lines.

While Adamas is not the prettiest area in Milos, it is definitely the most convenient one. There are some museums you should visit in the village, 2 wonderful warm beaches and a busy harbor.

Overall, this place is bustling and you will never be bored there; with its nightlife, activities, and accessibility, everything you want to do in Milos can be done from Adamas!

Where to Stay in Adamas

If you had to pick only one place to stay in Milos without a car, Adamas should definitely be your choice. It is a relatively small village with everything within walking range, is filled with everything you need and has many amazing places you should visit. Besides, even if you want to explore the island on foot or by bus, you should, of course, base your trip on this central area.

However, because of all the activity and people, it can be very difficult to pick the best hotel depending on your needs. Don’t worry, there are plenty of great choices and they are all well-located considering the small size of the village; I’ve got you covered:

✅ Best Hotel: Konstantinos

Konstantinos is not only the best hotel in Adamas but also one of the best ones of all on the island of Milos.

While it is ideal for families due to its spacious rooms, complete equipment, proximity to the beach and its very own football field, I’m sure everyone will love this accommodation, and there are plenty of rooms available, all with different sizes and shapes; in fact, couples particularly love it as well, rating it a solid 8.6 out of 10.

✨ Luxury Choice: White Rock Milos Suites

If you are traveling to Adamas, are looking for a luxury hotel, and are not sure of exactly what you need, you should stop worrying and wondering and pick White Rock Milos Suites, with which you simply cannot go wrong.

This fantastic luxury hotel is located in a perfect location, only 3 minutes away from the beach, near the port, in an ideal place to reach all of the other points of interest on the island, and in the middle of multitudes of facilities such as shops and restaurants.

💰 Budget Pick: Milos Inn

Planning a trip to such a touristy place as Adamas can be pretty difficult if you’re on a tight budget due to how many fancy hotels and luxury villas there are. But don’t worry, there are also some budget-friendly picks such as Milos Inn for you to enjoy your stay.

Milos Inn offers the best value for money on all of the island of Milos. It has an incredible rate of 9.5 out of 10 on more than 100 reviews, and is simply beautiful, with a traditional Cycladic decoration and comfy rooms.

Runner up Area in Milos without a car: Pollonia

Pollonia is a town located on the northeastern coast of Milos. It is situated in front of the island of Kimolos, a great point of interest, and there are plenty of ferries that connect the two areas. Depending on what you are looking for, Pollonia might even be your favorite pick for your next trip to Milos due to its much calmer and peaceful atmosphere compared to the very active Adamas.

The beach of Pollonia is also a very nice plus. It is surrounded by multitudes of bars, taverns, and restaurants, and the village still has every facility you could ever wish for, despite not being as filled with tourists as Adamas.

Interestingly enough, the only winery of the island of Milos (Kostantakis Winery) is located on the outskirts of Pollonia, so you might want to try that out.

Where to Stay in Pollonia

Sure, Pollonia is much calmer than the bustling Adamas and much of the rest of the island, but it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have multitudes of hotel options. In fact, there are plenty of accommodations for you to choose from, and if you stay in a more peaceful area, you might want to compensate by paying for a better hotel than the one you could’ve rented in Adamas.

In any case, no matter your situation, here are my personal top picks:

✅ Best Hotel: Ostria Vento

When traveling to Pollonia, Milos, you won’t find anything better than Ostria Vento, my #1 pick for a hotel in the village. Although there are plenty of large, fancy hotels, it is this relatively small and cozy guest house that takes the prize!

There are multitudes of reasons for this choice: the host is absolutely lovely and will take care of you for anything you need, it is situated right next to the central beach of Pollonia and it is decorated in a traditional Cycladic style.

✨ Luxury Choice: villa lord

If you are still debating about which luxury hotel to pick for your next trip to Pollonia, trust me, you simply cannot go wrong with villa lord. This absolutely incredible place is located right by the sea, from where you will have fantastic views at all times.

Its #1 perk though is definitely its hot tub: not only is it very pleasant to have your very own jacuzzi, but this one is particularly large and gazes at the sea.

💰 Budget Pick: Captain Stavros

When traveling on a budget, you could have a very hard time picking decent accommodation in Pollonia… were it not for Captain Stavros!

Captain Stavros is a bright studio with a balcony. It is situated in a peaceful area, is fully equipped, and definitely offers the best value for money in Pollonia. Tight on budget? You can book this accommodation with your eyes closed!

Can I Get Around Milos without a Car?

Although Milos is a pretty wild island, getting around Milos without a car is definitely possible. The bus service is great and frequent, and you will be able to easily reach both Pollonia and Adamas. Renting a scooter or a car is for the most possible comfort, but not everyone can afford it, and I can completely understand that.

Besides, there are some parts of the island that are literally inaccessible and where the roads are dangerous, so maybe it’s not all that bad if you don’t have a car!
