"Pollonia Milos: Traditional Charm and Natural Beauty"

Pollonia, Milos

Kalea Suites is located in the heart of Pollonia, a picturesque fishing village on the northeastern tip of Milos, the Cycladic island renowned for its wild natural beauty and authentic charm. Its name is believed to derive from the ancient temple of Apollo that once stood on the Pelekouda peninsula, east of the settlement. Today, Pollonia serves as the second most important port of Milos, after Adamas.

The village is easily accessible, either by car or public transport, and is just 10 kilometers from Adamas and 14 kilometers from Plaka, the island’s capital.

Sarakiniko Beach in Milos is one of the most impressive and recognizable beaches in Greece, famous for its unique lunar-like landscape. Located on the northern coast of the island, it consists of stark white volcanic rocks sculpted by the wind and sea, creating smooth, undulating surfaces and natural pools filled with crystal-clear turquoise waters. The scenery is almost surreal, resembling a lunar rather than a seaside environment, making Sarakiniko truly unique.

The beach attracts numerous visitors who come to swim in its calm waters and admire the breathtaking natural setting. It is also a favorite spot for photography, thanks to the striking contrast between the white rocks and the deep blue sea.
