Photo post (mostly) of a catamaran tour in Milos, Greece (April 2023)

Milos was an interesting island to visit. Definitely different than the others we had just passed through (Naxos, Paros, and Mykonos). The sense I came away with is that you need a few days to really do it well and comfortably. I personally would aim to stay near Pollonia, which struck me as having the best overall vibes. Definitely a vacation spot with beaches and small hotels and holiday apartments. But it also had a least a couple / few streets with some restaurants and coffee shops. I would also want to have a car rental to get around. Or, more precisely, probably a 4x4 rental to access some of the more remote parts of the island. We stayed in Adamantas, which was logistically convenient but a little less charming.

We were not in Milos very long, but had a full schedule to cover a lot of ground. Arrived by ferry at 8pm and went immediately to dinner at Mikros Apoplous. It's well-reviewed and I was happy with my meal, but I played it simple with salad and beer. My colleagues, however, were more adventurous with some kind of seafood dish which disappointed.

Packed it up right after dinner because we had an early bell to answer for a 6-7 hour catamaran ride around the island, with Milos Adventures.

As you can see in the stream of photos below, it was cloudy. Not too cool, as I recall. Maybe mid 60s. The scenery was in turns dramatic, serene, spectacular. Braver souls hopped off for some swimming and cave exploration. I kept my butt on the boat. Overall an experience I recommend. Just dress for the weather. Or visit Milos later in the season. Or both.
