We took a taxi up to the second town on Milos - Pollonia which is another picturesque harbour but being set on a narrow peninsula, there is also open sea just beyond. We thoroughly enjoyed a stroll round, including visiting the chapel on the hilltop.
and then walked back into town and selected a beachside fish restaurant for lunch.
We were a little early as they hadn't actually sorted out the morning's catch but after the usual visit to the kitchen to admire the offerings, we selected a large sea bream to be cooked for us.
Our starter was 3 different Milos cheeses with a spicy tomato paste, then the monster arrived and was expertly filleted by the restaurant owner. We were encouraged not to miss the "cheeks".
It was really delicious. Lemon mousse and a coffee gave us the ideal end to the meal.
Our charming host, Mr Ionnis happened to be driving by as we were finishing and offered us a lift back to Adamas which we happily accepted.
We sat on the balcony with our books for an hour then strolled down to the ferry where our boat appeared right on time.
The trip back to the mainland stopped at both Sifnos and Serifos on the way so we had a chance to say farewell to them both and enjoyed more of the coastal scenery.
The ferry came into Piraeus at about 9.00 so we hopped on the underground and were checked back into our hotel before 10.00. We decided to treat ourselves to a drink and snack on the rooftop terrace so got a final look at the illuminated Acropolis before bedtime.
