Sophia and her son Marinos were outstanding hosts and the pretty little apartment in the quaint fishing village of Mandrakia made for a perfect three days on Milos with my friend Rachel. It is truly a special place - right next door to a well-renowned fish restaurant where the friendly wait staff will serve you on your private patio (I recommend the fried calamari and warm chocolate cake). It is situated a stones throw from the sea with two picturesque swimming spots in walking distance. The apartment is well appointed and comfortable, stocked with delightful goodies/snacks/coffee/tea, and even has an outdoor shower for rinsing off after a dip. It is remote, so you will need access to a vehicle. We rented an ATV which made for an even more adventurous stay. Marinos helped us out with the rental and even picked us up at the ferry and dropped us off at the airport. Superbe ervice!
Both Rachel and I agreed that several more days at Sophia's would have been ideal! We hope to make it back someday.
