The outlook of Kimolos
At the very northeastern outpost of island Milos is a very nice town Pollonia embracing the beautiful cove, ideal for all lovers of swimming without waves. Along the southern part of the bay lies the old center with church and numerous tavernas overlooking the sea. On the north side there are apartment houses and the outpost is ended by another small church with a nice view of the neighboring island Kimolos (only a kilometer away).
Beach in Pollonia
Beach in Pollonia is about three hundred meters long and has a really nice entry into the water. Although you will certainly do not feel here like in a wilderness, but the adjacent part of the old town with a church looks very romantic. If you do not have a beach umbrella, you may use the shade under the numerous trees that line the beach.
View from the beach
When lying on the beach or swimming in the calm waters of the bay, you can enjoy stunning views to the neighboring mountainous island Kimolos and a small chapel on the outpost.
Port in Pollonia
A number of coastal taverns are followed by a small harbor, from where departs a few times a day the ferry to the neighboring island of Kimolos – a possible tip for an interesting day trip from Milos.
Taverns in Pollonia
The afternoon heats and pleasant evenings can be spend in one of several taverns that line the old town.
Small church in Pollonia
The highest landmark of the town is, of course, white-washed church.
The outlook of Pollonia
If you want to make a short but nice walk, set out along the beach to the outpost with a small church. Already after a while you will have nice views of the entire old town.
The church of Agios Nikolaos
Almost on the outpost is a small but picturesque church of Agios Nikolaos.
The outlook above the church
From a small hill above the church is a nice panoramic view of the whole bay.
View of Kimolos
Directly opposite, across the strait, stretches even less populated island than Milos – volcanic, mountainous Kimolos.
