The Castle in Plaka is situated on the hill of Prophet Elias. The view from the Castle onto the magnificent bay of Milos and to the north side of the island is breathtaking. The castle has no walls, but like most castles in the Cyclades, it is a fortified settlement that is protected by the way its houses were built. In the area around the castle you will find many churches, most notably the Panagia Thalassitra and Panagia Skiniotissa. Also, there are the many picturesque houses with beautiful gardens.
