Plakes Anchorage
✨ Hidden gem
Plakes is a sheltered anchorage on the northeastern coast of Milos, offering good holding ground with the island's dramatic volcanic cliffs as your backdrop. Drop the hook here and you're within easy reach of the island's interior villages and the broader wonders of Milos Bay. It's a quietly rewarding spot, away from the busier anchorages, where the rugged, mineral-streaked landscape of Milos really sets the scene.
