Pollonia Village

Let's see what Pollonia and the surrounding area looks like

The village is really quite small and split into Pollonia village and Pelakouda which is the penninsular. Like most seaside communities it was originally a fishing village. Many of the inhabitants also worked the rich mineral deposits that Milos is famous for and are which are still mined on the island. Most people who live here now work in tourism with a little fishing still done. Pollonia seems to be growing as a popular stop for visiting yachts and small cruisers. The sea front where there are four restaurants and coffee shop is rather cluttered as one can see from the centre photo at the top of the thumbnail photos. In the middle of the summer season this gives it a cosy atmosphere because unlike a lot of sea fronts there is not a great number of food outlets. All of them however, serve traditional Greek cuisene.

Most of these photos were taken during the winter or spring months for those who are interested to know what it is like then. tempratures generally are not below 15 - 18 centigrade in the day and it is usually sunny with rain at the beginning of the winter in November.
