Restaurants

A seaside fish restaurant in Pollonia mixing traditional and modern Greek cooking, from homemade pies to tuna tataki and shrimp ravioli. Tables overlook the small harbour and there is a well-chosen wine list.

A seaside taverna at Mandrakia, open since 1999, serving traditional Milos flavours with a light Mediterranean touch and views over turquoise water — especially lovely at sunset.

A beachfront restaurant on Paleochori beach famous for cooking food in the hot volcanic sand — a uniquely Milos experience where sea, sand and volcanic land meet.

A cheerful family tavern by Papikinou beach whose meat and cheese come from the owners’ own farm and cheese dairy. Expect hearty Milos specialities served on clay plates in a shady courtyard; reservations are not taken, so arrive early.
