About
Pollonia is a charming seaside village on the northern coast of Milos, renowned for its long, sandy beach that stretches along the crystal‑clear waters of the Aegean. The waterfront is flanked by soft dunes and a friendly harbor that welcomes visitors with a calm maritime atmosphere. Nearby, visitors can explore two smaller coves – Polychroni’s Beach and Piso Thalassa – each offering quieter, scenic spots ideal for snorkeling or quiet reflection. The village is steeped in history, with traces of an ancient temple dedicated to Apollo and a modest Orthodox chapel dedicated to Saint Nicholas, both reflecting the island’s cultural heritage.
