While Milos is a relatively small island, public transportation is limited. We suggest renting a car or a scooter to make the most of your time on the island. Alternatively, taxis are available if you prefer not to drive. Car rentals cost around £35-£50 per day, and taxis cost £10-£20 for a one-way trip (depending on the distance).
If you have more time, consider taking a boat tour of Milos' beautiful coastline and sea caves, or visit the nearby island of Kimolos. If you have less time, consider skipping the Milos Mining Museum and spending an extra day relaxing on the beach.
Milos Island National Airport (MLO) is located in the village of Trypiti, approximately 5 miles southeast of the main town of Adamas. The airport serves domestic flights from Athens and other Greek islands. Taxis and rental cars are available at the airport to take you to your accommodation.
