For many, the popular Santorini and Mykonos islands epitomize Greek vacations. Milos is quieter and cheaper than its famous sisters. Still, it has all the ingredients of a great vacation in the Cyclades: great food, picturesque coves with fishing boats, charming towns, and beautiful landscapes, such as the famous, moon-like Sarakiniko.
Things are happening on the upscale hotel scene, too, especially for guests who shun the big hotel chains. Instead, there are a lot of small boutique hotels, chic apartments, and luxury villas on Milos. But which are the best hotels in Milos? Our regularly updated list of the best hotels in Milos is all you need to book your next vacation here.
