Frank’s place wasn’t exactly as advertised...it was better! The facilities were fantastic and allowed us to cook a few meals at home which is always helpful.
We arrived by boat from Santorini and it was a €9 taxi to the flat. This was helpful as we had luggage, but it’s a really straightforward 15 minute walk if you have the time and energy. There are lots of restaurants and bars in the port to take your fancy, so location is great.
Milos is prone to strong northerly winds from July to September so a lot of the beaches on the north coast are inaccessible. This wasn’t a problem because there are plenty of southern beaches to take your fancy, but one of the most advantageous aspects about the location of the flat is that a small beach is less than 5 minutes walk away. Part sandy, part grassy, it isn’t the most glamorous of beaches, but it was perfectly calm despite the wind and a great place to relax in the late afternoon. Just beware of sea urchins on the rocks!
Frank’s mum also dropped off some homemade food each morning which was extremely tasty and thoughtful.
All in all, a fantastic experience and we would definitely recommend booking here.
