Traveller notes on Milos in August
Notes from nearby Paros (74 km away)
Milos doesn't have its own notes for August yet — these are about Paros, close enough to share the season.
Paros's forum calls August meltemi season, the northerly wind blowing most days at varying strength — a mixed blessing that keeps the island cooler than the mainland but can rough up some beaches. Regulars flag August as the single busiest month in the Cyclades, recommending advance booking, and note the island has enough sheltered coves that finding calm water is usually possible even on a windy day.
Other months in Milos
Milos's forum puts July daytime highs around 28°C, warmer than June, with the meltemi wind a near-constant feature — regularly 13 knots with gusts to 25. Regulars note the wind varies sharply by which side of the island you're on, with south-facing Adamas consistently calmer than northeast-facing Pollonia, and that the island stays busy but manageable through the month.
