In Plaka there is the medieval castle and the church of Panaghia Thalassitra from where you can enjoy the best sunset in Milos. Plaka's development started after the destruction of Ancient Chora, as the increasing number of refugees could not fit within the walls of Kastro. In Plaka travellers may visit the folklore and the archaeological Museum.

Klima:

Klima is considered to be the most picturesque fishing village of Milos. It is really worth-seeing the "syrmata", little fishermen's storehouses, craved into the rocks and painted with bright colours. The sunset there is also beatyful. The village is mainly inhabited by natives and there are no hotels. However travellers may be lucky and find one of these storehouses to rent.

Achivadolimni:

Achivadolimni is located next to the gulf on the western side of Milos Island. Its grey blue sandy beach with blue waters is ideal for swimming. At Achivadolimni, which means lake of sea shells, there is the only camping site of the island as well as rooms and bungalows.
