Milos nomad scores

A furnished monthly stay and rental transport make Milos appreciably dearer than most researched Greek bases. Budget carefully for the season. 1 12

Furnished monthly stays cost substantially more than year-round local leases. Shoulder-season and annual-contract prices are different markets. 1
