Once you’re in Milos
- Best time: May – June, September – October
- Typical stay: 3 days
- November: Better avoided: Milos is a summer island: from November to March most hotels, restaurants and the Kleftiko boat trips close, and the fast ferries stop. The slower ferries and the Athens flights still run; for a winter island trip, choose Naxos, Santorini or Crete instead.
