Modern and clean-lined, with details and hints of its rich history and original architecture intact, this is rare property is now available for holiday rentals. The 50m2 attached house at the edge of the sea is tucked at the foot of a cliff just feet from the water. A complete tasteful and elegant renovation has re-purposed this property to the benefit of its future guests.
The house comfortably houses four guests. There is one double/queen bed on the ground floor and two single bunk beds in an upstairs loft reached by an easy ladder. Everything is sophisticated, high quality, and modern.
There is one modern and well-appointed bathroom in the house with the latest in design features.
The galley-style kitchen is useful and fully equipped for cooking during your stay. We suggest taking your morning cup of coffee or tea out to the edge of the sea where you can sit and enjoy the sounds of the water gently lapping the side of this ancient island.
The Neighborhood:
The area:
The ancient and storied island of Milos (or Melos) is home to this beautiful property. It's a volcanic Greek island in the Aegean Sea, just north of the Sea of Crete.
It's the southwesternmost island in the Cyclades group. Its beaches are considered among the best (if not the best) of the Greek Islands, and its coastline is dotted with stunning coves and caves.
Milos is 160km from Athens, 60km from Santorini, and 115km from Crete. On a clear day, you will see the mountains of Crete and of the Peloponnese, as well as most of the islands of the Cyclades group.
An item of interest about Milos is that the Venus de Milo (now in the Louvre) and the Poseidon statue (now in the archaeological museum of Athens) were both found on the island. Milos is a popular tourist destination during the summer. The island has approximately 5,000 inhabitants.
Klima is the most popular, as it was the ancient harbor of Milos and that's why many ancient statues, theatre, etc. Heading north in the area, you'll also find Tripiti, Plaka, the Syrmata villages, the catacombs, amphitheater, and site of the Venus discovery.
Don't miss along the northern coast the narrow blue bay at Sarakiniko, a kind of petrified foam with undulations like bed sheets in the wind, and occasional eruptions. Note pirates' chambers cut out of the stone cliffs. Also along at the north-eastern tip is Pollonia, with some excellent waterside restaurants and the island's only commercial winery, Kostantakis.
The western side of the island is far less populated with gorgeous scenery.
