WHY STAY
Skinopi Lodge is a secluded seafront retreat on the mythical island of Milos, Greece. Steps away from the Aegean Sea, the hideaway is located below Trypiti, a charming hilltop village within a protected archaeological site, and 2 km from the port of Adamas. The 7 individual villas have been co-created by Kokkinou-Kourkoulas (a Greek architecture firm) with the help of a landscape artist, perfectly complimenting the surroundings.
Enjoy the minimal design of white-washed walls and charcoal-grey linen. See the surrounding sea and olive trees through floor-to-ceiling windows. Watch boats sail over the horizon. Immerse yourself in the Cyclades’ slow lifestyle.
Skinopi is committed to honoring Milos’ traditions, history, and environment. By building without disrupting the landscape, being part of initiatives to preserve endangered marine life, and involving its guests with the local community, the lodge offers a truly sustainable stay experience.
WHY WANDER
Enjoy natural hot springs steps below the villa. Explore the rocky island by ATV. Visit the surreal white rocks of Sarakiniko Bay. Sail to the Cave of Papafragas and the Glaronisia islets, and visit the famous caves of Kleftiko and Sykia aboard Skinopi’s own boat. Hike to the top of the archeological site of Nichia, dating back to 3,000 BC. Visit the chapel of Saint Nikolas and Pelekouda where, according to tradition, the couple that sits on the small rock chair will be together forever.
INDULGE IN
Enjoy daily breakfast baskets with freshly baked bread, Greek yogurt, granola, and fresh fruit, delivered to the villa each morning. Visit Medusa restaurant for the views and stay for the incredible food. Try octopus with capers; grilled prawns; stuffed peppers, and truly remarkable olive oil.

Take a ferry or fly from Athens.
