Plaka village

A Landscape Carved by Nature, A Culture Carried by Time

Plaka is the capital of Milos and its most picturesque village, perched high above the Aegean with sweeping views across the bay. Whitewashed houses, narrow stone alleys, and vibrant bougainvillea create a setting that feels untouched by time, while small cafes, family-run tavernas, and artisan shops bring the village gently to life.

It’s a place best explored slowly—wandering uphill to the old Venetian Castle for sunset, pausing in hidden courtyards, or simply letting the quiet rhythms of village life unfold around you.
