Pollonia, the fishing village in the north-east

Pollonia sits on a shallow bay at the north-east tip of Milos, a fishing harbour that has become the island's favourite place to stay without losing its calm. There is a sandy beach shaded by tamarisk trees, a little harbour of painted boats, a chapel on the point, and a row of fish tavernas along the water. Small ferries leave from here for Kimolos, the island just across the strait. The Bronze Age town of Phylakopi and the cliffs of Papafragas are a few minutes away along the north coast.
