After a long trip from home, and missing our first night in Milos due to the winds… Marina welcomed us with homemade orange marmalade, local honey and a beautiful liquor made from herbs in her garden.
The space itself has views for days, overlooking the Agia Kiriaki and Paralia Paliochori beaches. Being situated on the South side of the island is very nice for the summer because the wind is Northerly, which means it’s much calmer. We found this out the hard way when we were unable to take our flight in. We visited many beaches during our stay here but the best for swimming were certainly in the South.
Inside the space was very clean, with a great kitchen for preparing meals and/or snacks. The bed is simple and clean and has great light, circulation of air and an AC.
There is a platform bed outside as well as a private sitting area for looking at the stars or sea. There is a shared area with a table and sitting area, where we did not see other guests and I used the area to do my yoga for an hour without any interruption.
One of the best features of this space is Marina and her family. This is clearly her dream to be on this island. She respected our privacy while at the same time, sharing some beautiful parts of her family with us. It was the epitome of Hellenic hospitality - that we feel that we’ve made a friend for life. We saw that other guests were repeating their stays with her because her ability to make us all feel truly cared for, in a way that felt like family, was so real.
We look forward to the next time we get to stay with Marina at Aegeis.
