Welcome to Kapetan Tasos Suites, an inspired choice for your stay on Milos.
You will find us in Pollonia, a picturesque fishing village in the north-east of the island. We are only 80 metres from the nearest sandy beach and about three hundred metres from the village’s long beach, lined with shady tamarisk trees.
There are eleven suites in total, with one, two or three rooms. Each has superior furnishings and facilities, to make your holiday truly unforgettable.
Pollonia is a seaside village at the north-eastern corner of Milos, and the island’s second harbour after Adamantas. Its name comes from the temple of Apollo that stood east of the settlement. The Milos travel pages gather the island’s villages, beaches, rooms and travel details, and Kapetan Tasos Suites Milos sits in the middle of this small fishing harbour.
Kapetan Tasos Suites Milos stands in the village itself, a short walk from the water and from the tavernas that line the shore. Milos lies in the Aegean Sea, just north of the Sea of Crete, and it is the island that lies furthest south-west among the Cyclades. The island covers 160.147 square kilometres and its highest point rises to 751 metres.
Where do Kapetan Tasos Suites Milos stand in Pollonia?
Kapetan Tasos Suites Milos stand in Pollonia, a seaside village at the north-eastern corner of the island of Milos. The nearest sandy beach lies 80 metres from the suites, and the long beach of the village, lined with tamarisk trees, lies about 300 metres away.
Kapetan Tasos Suites Milos stands inside Pollonia, also called Apollonia, the second harbour of Milos after Adamantas. The village lies at an elevation of 10 metres, beside the water, and the census of 2021 counted 268 residents. Pollonia takes its name from the temple of Apollo that stood east of the settlement. The first official mention of the village as a settlement dates from 1940, when it was attached to the community of Peran Triovasalos. The village now belongs to the Municipal Community of Triovasalos.
The main beach of Pollonia is sandy, and two more beaches lie close to the village, one of them known as the back sea. Polychroni, the second of the smaller shores, is an organised beach. Tamarisk trees grow along the island’s coast and shade the long beach at the edge of the settlement. Kapetan Tasos Suites Milos keeps the sandy shore and the tamarisk-lined beach within walking distance, which places a morning swim and an evening stroll in the same small area.
Adamantas is the main harbour of Milos, and Pollonia holds the second place among the ports of the island. A regular small boat links the village with Kimolos, the neighbouring island to the north-east. Travellers who arrive by sea reach Kapetan Tasos Suites Milos through either harbour, and the coast road joins the village with the rest of Milos. The ruins of Phylakopi, a settlement founded around 2300 BC, lie on the road towards the village of Pollonia.
Pollonia spreads along a sandy bay, with the fishing boats of local families at the mole. The village has grown around that small harbour, and its tavernas reach the church at the edge of the settlement. For Kapetan Tasos Suites Milos, the setting is a working fishing village rather than a resort strip. A quiet bay, a sandy shore and a small harbour keep the scale of the place modest, and the water, the boats and the shore hold the centre of daily life.
- Harbour: Pollonia is the second harbour of Milos after Adamantas.
- Elevation: The village stands 10 metres above the sea.

Pollonia gives Kapetan Tasos Suites Milos a position on the north-east coast, between a sandy bay and the open sea. The village keeps a small harbour, a sandy main beach and two smaller shores, and it looks towards Kimolos across the water. Guests reach the beach from the suites on foot and walk on to the tavernas of the settlement. A second harbour and a short crossing to Kimolos keep the village close to the water.

Why does the name Kapetan Tasos Suites Milos point to the sea?
Kapetan Tasos Suites Milos carries a word that Greek speakers use for a ship’s master. Kapetanios is a designation rather than a rank, and it refers to the master of a merchant vessel or the skipper of a small boat.
The word kapetanios names the master of a ship, and the English term for that role is captain. Kapetan Tasos Suites Milos borrows that word for its name, and the choice fits a village where boats leave the mole early and return with the catch. The sea has shaped Pollonia for as long as the settlement has stood on this coast. Fishing, ferrying and the short crossing to Kimolos have kept the harbour busy through the seasons, and the name on the sign follows that habit.
Milos has been a seafaring place since prehistory. Obsidian from the island travelled over long distances by boat, and the people who came for it beached their craft in sheltered coves and cut pieces of the volcanic glass from the quarries. Kapetan Tasos Suites Milos stands on an island whose position between mainland Greece and Crete made it an important centre of early Aegean civilisation. The glass from those quarries reached settlements far from the Aegean and was worked into sharp tools.
The first settlers at Phylakopi, on the north-east coast, were tuna fishermen. Their village rose in the Bronze Age, and the site lies on the same side of Milos as Pollonia. Fishing has continued on this coast, and the boats of the village that holds Kapetan Tasos Suites Milos still work the water. Adamantas and the smaller harbour at Pollonia show how closely the life of the island has followed the sea. Excavations at the site began in 1896 and uncovered a walled town.
A regular small boat ties Pollonia to Kimolos, the neighbouring island to the north-east, and the crossing is short. That link runs from the same harbour that serves Kapetan Tasos Suites Milos. Fishing boats return to the mole in the morning with fish, octopus and lobsters, and the tavernas of the village cook what the boats bring in. The strait between the two islands measures one kilometre across. The daily rhythm gives the name on the sign a plain meaning.
- Kapetan: The word is a designation for a ship’s master, not a naval rank.
- Obsidian: Milos traded obsidian by boat long before farming began.
- Phylakopi: The first settlers at Phylakopi on the north-east coast were tuna fishermen.
- Harbours: Adamantas is the main port of Milos and Pollonia is the second.
- Kimolos: A regular small boat connects Pollonia with Kimolos.
The name on the sign at Kapetan Tasos Suites Milos belongs to a seafaring tradition that reaches back to the obsidian trade and the tuna fishermen of Phylakopi. Kapetanios names a ship’s master, and Pollonia remains a harbour where boats work every day. The village keeps its mole, its fishing craft and its short crossing to Kimolos, so the sea stays part of the address. The word on the sign is a plain description of the place.
Which suite at Kapetan Tasos Suites Milos suits whom?
Kapetan Tasos Suites Milos offers one-room, two-room and three-room suites. A couple fits a one-room suite. A family or a group of friends takes a two-room or three-room suite and gains separate rooms for each part of the stay.
Couples form the simplest case at Kapetan Tasos Suites Milos. A one-room suite holds everything in a single area, with the bed, the kitchen and the seating together. That layout suits two guests who plan to spend the day on the beach and the evening in the village. Eleven suites in total keep the choice small, and the one-room option keeps the stay compact. The one-room suite serves two guests who want the harbour, the beach and the tavernas within a short walk.
Families need more than one room, and Kapetan Tasos Suites Milos answers with two-room and three-room suites. A two-room layout separates the sleeping area from the living space, and a three-room layout adds a further room. Children are welcome at the property, and a kitchen in the suite lets a family prepare meals without leaving the village. Parking on site helps a family that arrives with a car. A second room gives parents and children their own space at the end of the day.
Groups of friends follow the same logic as families. A three-room suite at Kapetan Tasos Suites Milos gives each part of the group its own space while keeping everyone under one roof. The larger layouts also suit two couples who travel together. Rooms for non-smokers and air conditioning apply to every suite, so the difference between the options lies in the number of rooms rather than in the level of comfort. The kitchen in the suite keeps the group together for meals.
The setting decides the rest. Kapetan Tasos Suites Milos stands 80 metres from a sandy beach and about 300 metres from the long, tamarisk-lined beach of the village, so every guest reaches the water on foot. A couple in a one-room suite, a family in a two-room suite and a group in a three-room suite all use the same harbour, the same tavernas and the same shoreline. The choice of layout changes the space inside, not the position on the coast.
- Couples: A one-room suite keeps sleeping, cooking and living in one area.
- Families: A two-room suite separates the sleeping area from the living space.
- Groups: A three-room suite gives a group separate rooms under one roof.
- Children: Children are welcome at the property.
- Access: Every suite lies 80 metres from the nearest sandy beach.
Kapetan Tasos Suites Milos keeps the choice simple: one room for a couple, two rooms for a family, three rooms for a group. Every layout carries the same furnishings, the same facilities and the same short walk to the beach. Guests settle on the number of rooms they need and leave the rest to the position of the village on the coast. The village, the harbour and the shore answer the remaining questions.
