Maria's place is absolutely phenomenal. It really is unique and traditional. The town is very cute. It's walkable to Plaka. To explore the rest of the island, definitely rent a car or atv. And Milos is the most magical island and place I've ever been to, and I'm saying that after having been to Mykonos and Santorini. Maria's place makes it even more magical. All in all, we recommend Maria's place 100%.
