Honeymoon Planning - Paros & Milos - Hotel Advice Needed

I don’t actually know any of the hotels you mentioned because we always stay in houses or apartments when we're on the islands, but I know Paros and Milos. So, here are my two cents specifically about Milos.

Milos, which now gets massive cruise ships, is in my opinion a pretty overhyped island, mostly thanks to its Instagram-famous Sarakiniko beach and those few fisherman's houses in Klima that have been turned into short-term rentals. There are hardly any actual villages on the island, just Adamantas (the main port and capital), Triovasalos right nearby, and Pollonia way up in the far north.

Half of the island is a protected Natura 2000 zone where you can't even drive standard rental cars unless you have a 4WD. Those are the "NO SERVICE" areas on this Milos map:

The Erema is located in the southern part of the island, right on the edge of the western Natura 2000 zone in a pretty much uninhabited area. It’s brand new and definitely looks gorgeous, but there is literally no local life around, no bars, no tavernas, no restaurants. Once you're there you're pretty much forced to either eat whatever the hotel offers or hop in the car just to experience actual local life. It's the kind of new 5-star spot that people criticize for ruining the landscape just to cater to a wealthier international crowd.
That said, you don't have to share these old-school Greek island lover opinions if you love being totally isolated like in a high-end resort bubble with zero local contact outside of other guests and staff, it’s great!

If you want my advice, you'd be just as happy at Kapetan Tasos Suites in Pollonia (which was a exception to our usual travel style). It’s close to tons of tavernas, restaurants, amenities, and beaches, plus they have the best mattresses in the world (Greek ones!) and an incredible breakfast:

Combining Milos and Paros can be a bit tricky ferry-wise, since Milos is in the Western Cyclades and Paros is in the Central ones. Getting between them is often only possible via the small Seajets catamarans that hop around the islands from April to October. So while there's usually one ferry a day, you'll definitely want to double-check the ferry schedules before booking any accommodation!

Edit: I promise I didn't do it on purpose, I just saw a review that was 3 weeks old:

The best ending to our honeymoon was Kapetan Tasos Suites. It was the best decision we took. From check in to check out the team was so professional and welcoming, everyone was always smiling and the owner was always present. The vibe was very nice and welcoming we felt at home. The suites are super clean and we highly recommend this place for your stay!!

Congratulations on your upcoming celebration and honeymoon!
In Paros we stayed at a small spot that looks like it's not far from Hotel Senia, and being able to walk to/from Naousa was definitely nice to be able to do. Taxis as you mentioned are expensive and were seemingly in short supply, and the bus service works but does not come through most areas often; we took it for a day or two to explore the island a little and it eventually gets you from A to B but you just have to go into it knowing that you will be on a slower schedule.

We had a wonderful experience staying at Kanales on Paros. We loved the location which was an easy walk into town.

Congratulations to you and hope you have a wonderful honeymoon!

In Paros, I would stay in Parikia, which is more authentic. The restaurants are full of locals and tourists alike. Naoussa is now very touristy and many of the lodging options are owned by corporations or expats. If you want to meet Brits rather than Greeks, then Naoussa would be perfect. Nothing wrong with Brits, but that's for another trip.

One of our favorite hotels ever was Tania Milos in Pollonia on Milos. We had a honeymoon-worthy room with two balconies … one to view the sunrise, the other the spectacular sunsets. Beach chairs to sit outside in a private area (a rocky beach, not sand — but access to the sea). Wonderful breakfasts at the hotel, and we could help ourselves to snacks/water all day. It was a short walk to the harbor & lots of restaurants, or to the pier for a daytrip to nearby Kimolos. The very kind. helpful owner was happy to assist with transfers, and excursions. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.

Congratulations! My wife and I also chose Greece for our honeymoon (Athens, Naxos, Santorini, Milos).

Milos: If you're adventurous and enjoy exploring, recommend renting an ATV for a couple days to explore the natural beaches of the western side. We also booked a boat trip to explore some remote beaches. I personally like ending a vacation with unwinding/lounging so agree with ending at Milos. The hotel is lovely but fairly remote. We stayed in Plaka, our B&B had a private roof deck and we could easily walk to restaurants. I just would not stay in Adamantas as it's quite busy

Enjoy your honeymoon!
