Firopotamos, and how to get to it
Anna answers the telephone between eight and nine in the evening, and everything else is email. We reply within a day.
Alkyon, Firopotamos, 848 00 Milos, Cyclades, Greece. The telephone and the two email addresses are below.
We are open from the first of April to the end of October. Out of season the email is still read, once a week, by somebody sitting in Athens.

Getting here
Four ways, and how long each takes
Fly to Milos
Athens to Milos is thirty-five minutes on a small propeller aircraft, twice a day in summer. The airport is a single room.
25 min to the house
The fast ferry
Piraeus to Adamas in about three hours. Books out three weeks ahead in August, and is cancelled in a strong meltemi.
20 min to the house
The slow ferry
Five to seven hours, runs whatever the weather is doing, and is the one to take if you are bringing a car.
20 min to the house
From another island
Daily to Sifnos and Serifos, most days to Santorini and Folegandros. Ask us before you book the return; the timetable changes in September.

The last kilometre
The road stops forty steps above the house
There is no road down to us. Cars stop at the top of the village, where there is parking for nine, and the rest is forty steps and a path. We carry the bags; that is not a formality, we actually do.
If steps are a problem, say so when you book. Two of the rooms are level with the terrace, and Stelios can bring the car down the service track for arrival and departure.
