Plaka is the capital of Milos, located about 4 kilometres north of
Adamas. That it is the island's capital is a bit strange because Adamas
is so much bigger and busier. Plaka has about 750 permanent inhabitants
and Adamas has about 1,350.
Plaka stands on high ground and offers an admirable view from
the hill that descend abruptly to Klima.
Plaka is a fine sample of a Cycladic village: narrow alleys lined with
whitewashed houses with coloured doors and windows and cosy tavernas with
tables and chairs in the small squares and alleys.
Many who stays overnight in Adamas go to Plaka to watch the sunset
and to enjoy a delicious dinner afterwards. The sunset is best seen from
the old castle (Kastro) on the hill above the village. Climb up to the
church at the top and enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets in the
Greek islands.
ACCOMMODATION IN PLAKA
You can stay the night, or several nights, instead of going
from Adamas to see the famous sunset.
