Why go

A calm Milos fishing village facing Kimolos across the channel.

Pollonia offers a sheltered beach, seafood restaurants and small-boat links to Kimolos at the quieter northeast end of Milos.

Pollonia curves around a protected sandy bay where fishing boats and the Kimolos ferry share the water. Restaurants line the shore without overwhelming the village, making it a comfortable base for families and travellers seeking quieter evenings than Adamas.

The volcanic coast around Papafragas and the archaeological site of Phylakopi lie nearby. Boat trips explore sea caves and Polyaigos, while local wineries add an inland alternative to beach days.

Practical information

A small ferry crosses to Psathi on Kimolos, subject to wind. Buses serve Adamas in season, but a car helps with nearby beaches and archaeology.
