Sofia's house in Mandrakia is the perfect quiet seaside spot to stay in Milos. You will definitely need to hire a car to see the island and to get out to shops for basics, but the town itself can provide a quiet retreat after a day of your adventures. The very popular Medousa restaurant next door serves beautiful traditional greek cuisine and fresh seafood from lunchtime until very late. Sofia and her son are wonderful hosts, transported me to and from the port, and helped me to arrange car hire and a wonderful sailing cruise around the island - this is a must do to see and swim at secluded and picture perfect beaches that you cannot access by car. The house is beautifully maintained and includes all the comforts you need!
