Our family of five had a wonderful experience in this home in Plaka, Milos. Here's a summary of our experience here:
THE LOCATION:
The home is nicely located at the base of Plaka. Plaka is a unique and picturesque village with meandering pedestrian streets, numerous small restaurants, cafes, bars, shops & public squares. You can hike to the peak of Plaka within twenty minutes to watch one of the most majestic sunsets in the Cyclades. The port town of Adamantas is only a 10 to 15 minute drive away, with easy access by car, and very well maintained buses that run between towns hourly.
THE ACCOMMODATION:
The home was very clean and comfortable, with everything our family of five needed for a week-long stay on the island. The photos on this website were accurate in describing the flat, and if anything, the views from the decks were even more spectacular in reality. Our favorite part of the flat was the larger of the two decks, located at the entry to the home. We would have our coffee here every morning and wine in the evenings, where we had a view of the beautiful village beyond. This deck was covered from the sun, and because of how it was situated, always had a cool breeze flowing through it. Truly excellent.
THE HOSTS:
I believe one of the aspects of this home that made it most memorable to our family was the hospitality and warmth of the hosts. The owners, natives of the island, lived in the flat below with their family, and besides providing us with advice about where to go on the island, also offered us samples of various foods that were unique to this island. Their children even befriended my son, who was of similar age, and they would play ball at a nearby field in the late afternoons. My son would actually look forward to playing with his new friends when we'd come back from a day at the beach. It felt more like they were family that we were staying with. Truly the epitome of Greek hospitality and warmth. I'm grateful to them for helping make our experience in Milos one that my wife, children and I will always remember.
