Franks place is a perfect place to stay in Milos. A short walk to Adamas, beside the local beach and perfectly clean. It is a great location if you want to use as a base to explore milos, with all main destinations in a 5 - 20 minute drive. Sarakiniko, Papafrangas, Polinia are all other must see areas are easily accessible.
Frank is a perfect host. He is responsive, insightful and extremely thoughtful (we regularly received treats and travel tips throughout our stay), so thank you to Frank, and your mother for giving us the perfect stay in Milos.
We would 100% recommend getting a car, quad or 4x4 if you want to explore to its fullest. Roads are easy to drive on, quiet and perfect for both new and experienced drivers. A 4x4 or quad may be a better option if you want to explore some parts of the island due to some of the western & southern roads being unpaved. Frank has excellent knowledge of the island and you can always ask him what he recommends before you book in a vehicle based on what you want to do. However, if you do not drive, Milos does have public transport. We never used it but regularly saw busses transporting people around. To be honest, even if you wanted to stay local in Adamas, you won’t be disappointed.
We would also recommend renting out a boat and exploring the coastline yourself. There are plenty of pre-organised trips to areas such as Kleftiko, however we opted for the freedom of our own boat and spent time anchoring ourselves on the various hidden beaches on the coast for a swim, before parking ourselves beside kleftiko. (We rented our boat by Provatas beach).
Milos may be a small island but it has buckets of character. From hidden beaches, to a raw coastline and small, lively towns. It is a hidden gem and we would recommend anybody looking for a peaceful break to make their way there.
