Milos Breeze Boutique Hotel is in Apollonia, the small settlement on the north-east coast that sits between the main port and Pollonia and is the departure point for the short crossing to Kimolos. The hotel is classed as four on the booking partner's scale and has one of the highest guest ratings on the island, with an excellent location noted in reviews, a pool, a hot tub and sea views from its terraces. The boutique format means a small number of rooms, a personal welcome and attention to detail, and the atmosphere is relaxed and romantic. Apollonia is a good base if you plan to explore the north-east: Pollonia's beach and waterfront restaurants are close, the Kimolos ferry leaves nearby, boat trips to Polyaigos and Kleftiko leave from the area and the coastal road leads toward Firopotamos, Mandrakia and Sarakiniko. The hotel is farther from Adamas, so a car or scooter is useful, but the quiet and the water views are why guests choose it. Evenings are best spent on the terrace or by the pool, with the sound of the sea and the lights of Kimolos on the horizon.
The north-east base
Staying in Apollonia puts you near the start of day trips to Kimolos and Polyaigos, so you can avoid early drives from Adamas. It is also near a few beaches, including Pollonia, Plathiena and Alogomandra, though note that wind conditions can affect some bays. The surrounding area is quieter than the port and has a few tavernas, bakeries and shops within a short drive.
Rooms and facilities
Ask about room types when you reserve, as boutique hotels vary widely in size and view. Sea-view rooms and rooms with terraces are popular, and some may have private plunge pools, depending on category, so check carefully. Breakfast is typically served on a terrace. The pool and hot tub offer a quiet place to relax after a boat trip or a day at the beach.
Who it suits
Couples, honeymooners and small groups who want a boutique atmosphere, a calm location and quick access to the north-east coast. It suits travellers with a rental car or scooter and those who like to avoid the ferry-port crowds. It is a good fit for visitors who want to do the Kimolos day trip independently, since the departure point is close.
It is less suited to travellers who rely on public transport or who want to be in the centre of Adamas each evening. Rates are highest in July and August and reservations should be made early. Check what is included, whether airport or port transfers are available and what local taxes will be due on arrival.
