Escape to a retreat in Plakes, a charming village in the heart of the island of Milos, Greece. From here you’re only 6 minutes to Firopotamos with its turquoise bay and fisherman’s houses, and 10 minutes to Sarakiniko, the island’s iconic lunar "moon" beach. There is literally a different beach / cove for every mood you could possibly be in.
This newly renovated one-bedroom, one bathroom home + separate art studio next door blends Cycladic minimalism with a warm bohemian style. Enjoy:
- An outdoor shower to rinse off after the sea
- Outdoor patio table + herb garden that you can use for cooking
- Private parking (rare in the village!)
- Fast Wi-Fi
- A quiet setting next to a classic Greek church
- A fully equipped kitchen with new smeg oven, cooktop, and fridge.
- Grocery store, island bus station, and town center within walking distance
Whether you’re here to explore Milos’ world-famous beaches, write your next book, or simply slow down, this apartment + art studio is designed for comfort, creativity, and relaxing.

I am an installation artist who decided to move to Greece from the US for a slower pace of life. I own this home + art studio and renovated it this past year, picking out every detail to make it feel peaceful while maintaining the traditional cyclades feel.
I want to offer it to other creatives who can enjoy it as much as I have. The caves, aegean sea, and colorful stone throughout the island are huge sources of inspiration for me - the beauty here is stunning and the land is very much alive.
I lived nomadically for several years staying in Listings Projects places so I hope to give back to this community!
The last picture is the art studio - it is 64 square meters.
