Halara Studios

My fiancé and I had an amazing stay at Halara Studios! Stelios, the owner/manager was extremely helpful and informative he drove us into town because we didn’t know we would need to rent our own form of transportation to get around the island. We would not have been able to do anything if he hadn’t helped us with this! He called some connections he had in order to get us an ATV ASAP since we didn’t have the international license required to rent a car. On our final day he even drove us all the way back to the airport. He was the most helpful host we’ve ever had. Both he and the housekeeper were very flexible with check in/check out time and we were pretty much just able to leave whenever we were ready. The room itself was very clean and had a great view, especially at sunset. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was great. There is a grocery store about a 3 minute drive down the road and the small town center of Plaka is only a 3 or 4 minute walk away and has some great shops, restaurants and bars. It was also only about a 9 minute ride to Adamantas where there are a ton of great restaurants and bars as well as the port where we took a boat tour. Overall I would highly recommend staying here!

We had a mixed stay at this property. While there were some positives (good communication via email from management, help with services, central location), there were also several negatives. On the negative side, we found the rooms to be not as nice as the photos suggested (i.e. a bit of noticeable wear and tear). Also, the bathroom and particularly the shower could use significant improvement. The shower stall is not fully closed off by glass therefore the floor gets quite wet after each shower and we had to do a fair amount of drying of the floor with towels. Also we thought the price of the property was higher than the value provided - there were better values to be found elsewhere in Milos. While the views from the property are certainly very good as noted by many others, Milos is an island full of amazing views so this was not perhaps as important to us in hindsight. Overall, we thought that the reviews for this property were higher than they should be and another perspective would be helpful. We did have stays at other properties in Greece that were clearly excellent.
