Ostria Hotel
Rooftop garden with bay views, 300 metres from the beach
Su questo hotel
Ostria's rooftop garden is the draw: a whitewashed terrace looking down over Adamas and out across the bay, the kind of vantage point most studio-level stays in the village don't have room to offer. Papikinou Beach is 300 metres off, close enough for a pre-dinner swim, and the spa gives an alternative to the sand on windier days when the meltemi picks up along the coast. The building itself keeps to the Cycladic look throughout, all white walls and blue trim, with air conditioning, private bathrooms and free WiFi standard in every room. A safety deposit box and non-smoking rooms round out the practical side of the stay, and parking is available for anyone driving out to Plaka or Sarakiniko during their visit.

Il nostro parere
Ostria suits travellers who want a view without paying for a full sea-facing room, since the rooftop garden does that job communally for every guest regardless of room category. The Cycladic-style rooms themselves are comfortable rather than luxurious, built around the shared terrace rather than individual balconies. Anyone wanting a private balcony sea view specifically should check room categories closely before booking, since the rooftop is genuinely the property's centrepiece.
- ✓Head up to the rooftop garden at sunset, the bay view rivals rooms costing far more
- ✓Walk to Papikinou Beach in the late afternoon once the day-trip crowds thin out
- ✓Book a spa session on a windy day, Milos gets proper meltemi gusts in summer

Perché piace ai viaggiatoriThe rooftop garden turned out to be the best part of the stay, we ended up there most evenings with a drink watching the light change over the bay. Papikinou Beach was close enough for a quick swim before dinner most days without much planning involved. The spa was a good call on the one windy afternoon when the sea felt like too much effort. Rooms themselves were fine, nothing special beyond the view upstairs, but that view carried the whole stay.
