In the heart of the Cyclades lies a geological marvel shaped by volcanic forces, boasting more than 70 beaches in shades ranging from snow-white to fiery red and warm gold. Refreshingly low-key compared to Santorini or Mykonos, the island offers a more authentic rhythm of Greek life, where locals still dominate outside peak season.

Independent transportation transforms a pleasant island stay into an unforgettable beach-hopping odyssey across one of Greece's most geologically diverse landscapes. With car rental in Milos, you can:

  • Reach the hidden shores of Tsigrado and Firiplaka, navigating the rugged southern tracks that are far beyond the reach of any local bus
  • Track down your own private paradise among the dozens of secluded coves and secret swimming holes tucked away along the island's jagged edge.
  • Venture to the surreal ruins of Thiorichia, where the multi-colored cliffs and abandoned industrial structures of the old sulfur mines create a landscape like no other.

No deposit, free cancellation, extra insurance (Full Coverage, CDW, etc.), for cash, no credit card, and a whole bunch of other useful extras you can take with you on your Greek island hopping trip via FindYCar.

What’s the price of car hire in Milos?

Given the island's smaller size and limited fleet, the market for renting a car in Milos exhibits seasonal price fluctuations that are significantly more pronounced than those on the mainland. Daily costs commonly fall into these categories:

  • Economy cars: €24-€41 per day
  • Mid-range cars: €44-€76 per day
  • SUVs and minivans: €82-€128 per day

  • Try to set a start date on mid-week.

It presents a more relaxed traffic environment than mainland Greece, though its unpaved beach access routes and mountainous terrain create unique challenges requiring careful attention. Drive safely by respecting these key regulations when getting a car hire in Milos:

  1. Always remain on the right-hand side while driving.
  2. Livestock occasionally wanders onto roads - stay alert, especially during early morning hours.
  3. Many beach access roads are unpaved and require slow speeds to avoid damage.
  4. Speed limits are 50 km/h in villages, with many roads naturally limiting speeds due to conditions.
  5. Alcohol limits stand at 0.5‰ for regular drivers, 0.2‰ for newly licensed motorists.
Parking

Parking

You can find free curbside spots along the promenade and backstreets, though a bit of circling may be necessary during peak times.

If you're staying in the hilltop village of Plaka, utilize the communal lot just below the square, where space typically becomes available in the late afternoon as day visitors head back down.

Gas Stations

Gas Stations

The island's fueling options are primarily clustered in Adamas and Pollonia, with the BP in the port being the most reliable for consistent hours and card payments.

You should expect to see 95-octane unleaded priced around €2.18 to €2.24 per liter, so keep some cash handy for the smaller, independent pumps in the countryside.

Toll Roads

Toll Roads

You won't find a single booth or digital badge requirement here, as the island’s simple network of two-lane routes and coastal paths is entirely free to use.

From the smooth asphalt between the main villages to the rugged dirt tracks leading to secret swimming coves, every journey across the island remains completely cost-free.
