Ralaki Cottage

The most incredible hosts- they couldn’t do enough for us! Stamatis’s communication was great, and his parents were so kind, cooking us food for our arrival and collecting us from the port. The bed was very comfortable and you had everything you could need at the cottage. We would love to come back again.

The location is very rural. We loved this, but be mindful as it is not accessible without a car, around 20/30 minute drive to nearby towns and beaches. If you’re after switching off out in the sticks, this is perfect for you!

Milos is getting over popularised by tourists. Ralaki, on the Western half of the island invites you to be away from all that, while still having all the amenities of a self catering cottage. The hosts picked us up from the port and showed us the cottage, including fresh fruit, bakes, coffee and tea and of course 4 bottles of water. We were there for 4 nights, and on two seperate days we were the only people on the nearby beaches. The occasional tut-tut of an atv or car driving past (I counted max 20 on our whole stay), are more often than not drowned out by the cacophony of cycads singing in the trees. They even let us check out late so we could hit the beach one last time before leaving. Amazing stay!

Leaving was the saddest part!

We have stayed here for a week - it was the perfect stay! Owners are the sweetest family ever! Very welcoming, prepared cake and some cookies for us before our arrival. Help with everything we needed, gave a lot of information about the island, places to visit, to eat, etc. The house is just amazing - small, but perfect for a couple. It’s nice that after a long day you come back and it’s quiet around, the only sounds are from the nature. Couldn’t recommend it enough for everyone who wants to escape from the city and have a really relaxing vacation.

Beautiful small cottage, amazing nature all around. Great hosts. Everything very clean. Amazing double patio to enjoy the setting.

Everything perfect for us but you need to know that you are in the wild part of Milos and you would need a car for going anywhere. The place is small but very cosy

If you look for vacation with silence and wonderful nature around then you should stay here. I had fantastic days, it was auch a wonderful place to calm dow n. One of the best hosts I ever had. Thank you so much Sofia and Stamatios.

All was perfect!

The hosts met us in the port and drove with us to the property. They explained to us where everything was and suggested us where to swim, where to eat and what to do. The hostess has prepared home made cakes and pies and also had left for us wine and eggs from their own chickens, fresh tomatoes and home made jam in the fridge. The communication was great and the family was super sweet and welcoming. We felt so nice being there and we had such a nice connection with the hosts that it instantly became a place that we said we want to go back to.

If I could give more than 10/10 for this property, I would! My partner and I are travelling for 3 months and this is by far our favourite place we’ve stayed. The hosts are so friendly and welcoming and made sure we had everything we could possibly need, even picking us up at the port and giving great recommendations on places to go. Don’t be put off by the remote location as renting a car on the island was easy and meant that we could explore the beautiful landscape of Milos at our own pace. We absolutely loved our stay and we’ll definitely be back in the future!

Our time in Ralaki cottage was just great. It's the perfect place if you are after a relaxing holiday in the middle of nature,(goats bleating, birds chirping etc) but with all the modern comfort (including reliable wi-fi). The cottage is away from the crowd, however conveniently situated just a 15/20 mins drive from the main town Adamanta. Be prepared to drive on dirty roads to reach it and enjoy the breathtaking landscape on the way there! Last but not least, a special mention to our host Stamatios and his parents who have gone above and beyond to make our stay faultless from as soon as we disembarked the ferry, when his dad was there waiting for us and throughout it, with his mum treating us with delicious authentic Greek food. We will be back!

The hosts were extremely welcoming. They provided us with all the necessary to have a comfortable stay, came to pick up us at the port and surprised us with homemade food. The cottage is small but optimal for two people. Very comfortable bed, air conditioning and a small fully equiped kitchen are a plus. Plenty of outdoor space and lovely interior design.

The cottage is located in the West-Side of the island, so you will need a proper veicle to handle le offroad paths. We chose to rent a 125cc scooter and everythig went fine. The isolation of the property from the main towns is a great reward in case you are looking for relaxation and peace.
