Do not hesitate to book Marinos’ place if it is available. I went back and forth for a few days before I finally decided to choose his place (just being unfamiliar with Milos, I wasn’t sure where the best area on the island was.) We could not have been happier with our stay. The location is unbelievable, in the heart of Plaka, and you have the best view of the island and the sunset from this area. The rooftop view at Marinos’ place is stunning. The apartment was extremely clean, and has everything you need. We stayed here for 2 days and it was the perfect amount of time for this neighborhood. We took a cab from the port (£20) but decided to rent a car (£60-80 per day) because we figured it would be easier to explore the island. There is a parking lot at the bottom of Plaka where you can leave your car for free and walk to Marinos’ apartment.
This is the perfect stay for a couple, parents and one child, or 3 friends if two are willing to share a bed. There is a cozy nap area on the sofa, and a full/queen sized bed in the living area.
Worth every penny based on location alone. Marinos is a wonderful, helpful host and I’m so glad we got lucky enough to stay at his place!
