Asterias Boutique Hotel
Boutique self-catering 200 metres from Pachaina Beach
About this hotel
Asterias sits in Pachaina, a quieter corner of Milos away from both Adamas and Pollonia, 200 metres from its own stretch of beach with rooms split between sea and mountain outlooks depending on the category booked. The self-catering format and Cycladic whitewashed style keep the stay simple and self-sufficient, a fitting base for travellers who want distance from the busier villages without giving up the island's architectural character that defines Milos throughout. Rooms include a kitchenette, air conditioning, private bathrooms and free WiFi as standard, with parking available on site for the rental car this quieter setting tends to require, plus a coffee machine for mornings before the short walk to the beach.

Our take
This suits families and couples wanting a quiet, self-catering base away from Adamas and Pollonia's foot traffic, with the beach genuinely close at 200 metres from the door. Being seven kilometres from the port means a car is close to essential for provisions and exploring, worth arranging before arrival rather than after. Anyone wanting walkable restaurants and shops nearby should base themselves in one of the larger villages instead, since Pachaina's quiet is precisely the point of staying here.
- ✓Stock up on groceries before arriving, Pachaina is quieter and self-catering is the norm here
- ✓Request a sea-view room specifically, the mountain-facing rooms are priced differently
- ✓Book a car for the seven-kilometre run into Adamas for dinner options beyond the immediate area
Why we love it
- 200 metres from Pachaina Beach
- Self-catering, air-conditioned rooms
- Choice of sea or mountain views
- Genuine Cycladic architecture
Why guests love itAsterias Boutique Hotel works for families who like to cook their own meals and keep the days quiet. Rooms are self-catering and air-conditioned, with sea or mountain views, and Pachaina Beach is 200 metres away. Adamas port is seven kilometres off and the airport nine, so I would hire a car for shopping and for trips around Milos. Families who want restaurants within walking distance would be better placed in one of the larger villages.
