Plaka
Πλάκα
The capital of Milos, a white Cycladic town on a ridge, home to blue-domed churches, cafés in narrow lanes and sunset viewpoints.
Plaka is the administrative center of the island. Cars are not allowed into the old town, so you need to park in the lot at the entrance and walk in. Among the winding lanes are the viewing terrace of the Panagia Korfiatissa church, a folk museum and many restaurants. In the evening people climb to the old castle at the top of the town to watch the sunset. It is about 15 minutes by car or bus from Adamas. Parking is tight on summer evenings, so it is wise to arrive early.
