Excellent place and very nice hosts!! Never stay in a place so clean!! Everything went really good at Mallis family! They are really attentive people!! Highly recommended!! Katarine is very a very kind lady!!Marisse2014-08-30T00:00:00Z
This apartment was in a nice quiet location in Adamas, away from the busy part of the town/port. Note that you will need to rent a car in order to go to shops/restaurants. Everything in the apartment was very clean and we enjoyed having an outdoor terrace to relax in the warm weather. The hosts welcomed us with some homemade pie, which was a nice surprise.stacy2016-09-15T00:00:00Z
Accueil chaleureux, le père de Yiannis est venu nous chercher et nous a raccompagné au bateau. Le logement était très bien situé (nécessité d'être motorisé), très propre, bien conçu. nous avions des petits gateaux ou fruits offerts régulièrement. La mère de Yiannis nous a régulièrement donné des conseils pour les visites. Île magnifique, variée au niveau des paysages, tour en bateau à faire absolument.Pascale2016-08-20T00:00:00Z
L'accoglienza da parte della Mallis' family è stata eccezionale! Sono venuti a prenderci in aeroporto John e Andreas e, una volta a casa, Katerina ci ha accolto con due fette di un dolce buonissimo e due bicchieri di acqua fresca...splendido! Anche durante la vacanza spesso Katerina ci ha portato verdure fresche e dolci buonissimi! Tutti sono sempre stati molto gentili, presenti e disponibili! La casa è molto carina ed è esattamente come viene descritta. E' molto pulita, pratica e non gli manca davvero nulla! Che (URL HIDDEN) Mallis' family ci ha davvero fatti sentire a casa e ha contribuito a farci passare una vacanza splendida. Speriamo di tornarci presto!debora2015-07-05T00:00:00Z
The Mallis family greeted us at the port and brought us to our accommodation. The building is like a four plex and each studio is separate from the other. The rooms were really clean and modern. We had a full kitchen so we ended up cooking dinner some nights and eating on the porch that overlooked the ocean. Andreas and Katerina did not speak any English but we got by with hand signals, their son John and his girlfriend Stella speak good English. They are available if you have any questions. This is a big island and no matter where you stay I highly recommend renting something, which the family can help you with. All in all a great time and I'd love to go back. Milos is right up there with santorini, it's beaches are the best!!!Jonathan2015-06-25T00:00:00Z
Capire da dove cominciare non è semplicissimo... Ma direi obbligatorio due parole su Milos; meravigliosa tranquilla e selvaggia, la maggior parte dei viaggiatori dedica solo qualche giorno a quest'isola, sbagliando tutta da vedere e da scoprire. Parlando dell'alloggio; accoglienza perfetta all'arrivo al porto (mi ha riconosciuto John e mi è venuto incontro lui!!), oltre che avermi accompagnato, dopo una buonissima fetta di torta ed un bicchiere d'acqua ghiacciata, a noleggiare un auto. Se questa non è ospitalità!!! l'appartamento rimane appena sopra ad Adamas,(distante circa 5 minuti a piedi) fuori dalla confusione ma vicinissimo ad un incrocio che ti permette di raggiungere tutte le zone dell'isola in pochissimo tempo, in poche parole fantastica. Come da titolo nuovo e tutto equipaggiato, non manca davvero niente in casa e per chi viaggia in aereo, non di poco conto. Tutti i giorni la vera anima della casa riordina l'appartamento, ogni tre cambia lenzuola e asciugamani e con un po' di fortuna ti lascia un pezzo di torta..super torta!!! naturalmente sto parlando di Katerina!!! Quella che è una Mamma con la M maiuscola, ti senti coccolato, non ti fa mancare niente e pur non parlando inglese cercherà comunque d'aiutarti. Non tralasciamo anche il grande Andreas sempre pronto a venirvi a prendere al vostro arrivo. In conclusione se dovessi consigliare questa sistemazione: ASSOLUTAMENTE SI!!!!!!! Grazie Mallis'familyEllys2015-07-26T00:00:00Z
We had a very nice stay at Katerina and Andreas' place! They had little attentions that where always welcome. They don't speak English, but know how to communicate otherwise ;-) The three small appartments are close to each other, so it was also a great way to meet the other guests and share our travel experiences and cultures!François2014-10-11T00:00:00Z

Absolutely perfect! She came to pick us up to the port and let us stay until late for check-out. She even brought us the breakfast to the room!!Estefanía2017-04-21T00:00:00Z
First of all Milos is an spectacular island on Greece that everyone should go! The host and her daughters was so nice with us, catching us in the port and telling us the best beaches to go and where to eat... Everybody knows that the Greek hospitality is awesome and this family is an example of that! The apartment is clean and has everything that you need for a very good stay with a full kitchen and the decoration has a really good taste. Do your breakfast near the swimming pool was great! I'm already planning my return to Milos and I'll want to stay once more there! I recommend the host and the apartment to everyone!!!Jose2016-06-06T00:00:00Z
Really nice rooms and Moschoula was very helpful by picking us up and giving us local knowledge. The pool was a great bonus! Would highly recommend :)Sophie2016-10-03T00:00:00Z
Las habitaciones de casa de Moschoula son perfectas para pasar unos días en la isla. Estéticamente son de los más relajante y, en cuanto a los servicios, muy completas. La cama es amplia, y la cocina y el baño tienen todo lo necesario (incluso una sandwichera y un par de albornoces). El desayuno es completo y diverso: fruta, cereales, bollería dulce y salada, café... Por si eso fuera poco, Moschoula es súper agradable como anfitriona.Esther2016-06-12T00:00:00Z
Mashoula was a lovely and helpful lady, she picked us up and dropped us off to the port. Very conveniently located, and breakfast outside was charming. Be sure if you would like the romantic flowers in the pictures to be there, you request in advance!Meera2016-07-26T00:00:00Z
Very beautiful flat. But quite noisy due the other chambers and to a school in front of the flat. Not really like our conception of Airbnb.Stephane2016-09-17T00:00:00Z
We had a great experience there. Hotel very well located close to all commodities. All the staff was helpful. They came to pick up us at the port and drived us back also. We highly recommend this place in Milos. Many thanks.Alexandre2016-08-26T00:00:00Z
Soggiorno molto piacevole in una struttura accogliente e dotata di ogni comfort, in pieno centro di Adamas. Colazione molto ricca, camera pulita e spaziosa. Certamente raccomandato!Giulia2016-09-27T00:00:00Z

My stay in Milos at Dimitris' Studio was certainly one of the best airbnb experiences I have ever had, 100% thanks to Dimitris and his kind generosity. My friend and I arrived on a ferry at 4:30am and Dimitris agreed to pick us up without us even asking. We had booked for the next night, so ultimately he let us check in hours early, which was amazing considering we would have had to figure out what to do with our luggage for the whole day otherwise. He far surpassed anything we could have asked and made our stay in Milos wonderful. He showed us where we could rent ATVs and what places were "must sees" on the island as well. The location was perfect (as we would just pass it on our way between towns or beaches and could pick anything up we forgot that day). The kitchen had tea and coffee that we enjoyed so much after being super chilly on the windy days! Thank you, Dimitris for being such a generous and kind host. It made our 2 nights sleeping on a ferry seem worth it.Kirsten2016-10-18T00:00:00Z
Dimitris was a super host. He was very helpful about everything and even sent his mother to pick me up at the ferry, which was very appreciated (and I didn't even ask). The studio was clean, well equipped and located in a great little village, near a public bus stop that can bring you to the port. It was also at a very walkable distance from Plaka.Gabriel2016-11-25T00:00:00Z
Very nice host, good quality of price and ,very clean the studio! Suggest it to anyone!Antonis2016-09-19T00:00:00Z
Dimitris est venu nous chercher gratuitement à l aéroport merci à lui. Le logement est très propre , situé entre deux villes à distance raisonnable à pied. Petit bémol sur l eau chaude : tiède puis froide , il manque un minimum pour cuisiner , pas de produits de base ( sel, poivre , vinaigre ) . C est parfait pour du transit . MERCI à dimitris pour sa gentillesse et disponibilitélaurent2017-05-01T00:00:00Z
The loft of dimitris is very nice. Clean, quiet and near of the most beautiful Beach.Milenko2016-10-14T00:00:00Z
Great accommodation! His father collected us at the port and showed us the flat! It had everything we needed. Before we left he organized a taxi for us. Thanks again! Lukas & LaurenLauren2016-08-06T00:00:00Z
Dimitri is a very friendly and helpful host. He picked us up by car at 23 pm at the port of Milos to take us directly to housing. It was reached during the stay and advised us to allow us to spend a pleasant stay. More housing is very clean and has all the conveniences expected.Marie2016-10-01T00:00:00Z
Dimitris is a professional in tourists' hospitality, he was very helpful in suggestions and facilities, also providing a good car rental at a fair price. His parents came to pick us up at the airport very early in the morning, his father Yannis is really a nice person, we spent a beautiful evening with him and his wife Eleni and he was always ready to give us suggestions and to help us. We had a small accident at our arrival, finding the house not really cleaned. I'm an AirBnB host myself, I know this may happen when you're compelled last minute to change the people who make the service and Dimitris apologized. But the apartment was cleaned regularly, with new sheets and towels every other day. The house is in Pera Triovasalos, 20 minutes walk from Plaka. It's a nice position between the hills of Milos, with the castle of Plaka in sight. For me and my wife the experience was good and relaxing.Marco2016-09-03T00:00:00Z

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans la famille de Rita. Ses parents sont très gentils, très accueillants et de bons conseils concernant la découverte de Milos. Nous garderons un excellent souvenir de notre séjour chez eux !!Esther2015-09-16T00:00:00Z
Good experience with great host. The room was clean & we eat with all the family one night & it was a great experience to exchange with everyone. We recommand it!Alexis et Marie2015-08-16T00:00:00Z
Nice room and great hosts. After arrival by ferry we got picked up by Rita's family. Quickly they made us feel as if we are family, too. They are very friendly and assisted us in many ways. Even though the apartment is not in the busy city centre, you can reach everything easily. The apartment is equipped with everything necessary including a private terrace with a view.Johannes2015-05-19T00:00:00Z
Lovely, quite and clean place.Andrea2016-07-29T00:00:00Z
When your first day in Greece is met with the kind of hospitality we received you know you've found a home away from home. From the warm welcome (and feeding) to the sage advice on where to explore, we couldn't have asked for more! We will be back!Ela2016-07-19T00:00:00Z
Bien que nous soyons arrivées tardivement, Rita nous a attendues au point de rendez vous. La maison est très bien située, pas directement en centre-ville mais seulement à quelques minutes à pied. Beaucoup de voyageurs, notamment français y séjournaient puisque la maison comprend une dizaine de chambres. Nous étions 3 et la chambre qui nous a été attribuée était exiguë. D'autant qu'à la différence des autres chambres nous ne bénéficions pas d'une petite terrasse privative et donnions directement sur la terrasse commune (intimité limitée et bruit des autres clients prenant leur repas, salle de bain microscopique et douche qui fuit. Exemple : malgré la chaleur nous ne pouvions pas laisser la porte ouverte). D'autres chambres de 3 existent dans la maison mais nous n'avons pas pu en bénéficier. Bien que notre chambre ne corresponde pas au standing des autres chambres nous avons payé le même prix. Attention donc à bien vous faire préciser votre chambre. La légendaire hospitalité grecque a peut être pris un coup avec la crise...Maud2015-08-07T00:00:00Z
Andare a casa di Tassoula per un viaggiatore puo' essere davvero speciale. Direi un po' piu' che affittare una stanza gradevole e pulita e avere un pasto pronto. Per qualcuno che viaggi con un buon grado di curiosita' significa poter entrare in una storia familiare, scoprirne I personaggi, e , se lo si vuole, la routine singolare di un 'isola greca, i i suoi ritmi e la grazia nel modo in cui tutto ogni giorno si svolge. Da Tassoula si e' sempre circondati di generose attenzioni e soprattutto di una gentilezza autentica che temo solo vi fara' aumentare un po' di peso ! Capitera' che Tassoula la mattina vi coccoli con bigne al miele e riso al latte e in piu' sappiate che il miglior ristorante e' sempre a casa vostra, ve lo garantisco. Basta che voi decidiate di cenare e lei imbandira' la tavola con tanti piatti buonissimi della tradizione!. Potrete anche imparare a cucinarne alcuni se vorrete osservarla durante la preparazione! Tutto cio' nel quadro di una piccola fattoria immersa in un bel paesaggio per meta' campestre e per meta' marino dove si trascorrono fresche le serate sotto il pergolato e la mattina ci si sveglia con il gallo. A pochi passi una spiaggetta che merita di essere la piu' vicina, una conca di mare dove potrete rilassarvi all'ombra delle tamerici e fare delle lunghe nuotate al tramonto. Con Nico, suo figlio, potrete fare magnifici tour dell'isola in barca ad un prezzo davvero molto accessibile. Non ho avuto l'occasione di conoscere Rita che ancora non era tornata dalla Francia ma e' come se lo avessi fatto e sono certa che non manchera' l'occasione! Go home Tassoula for a traveler can 'be very special. I would say a little 'more' than renting a room nice and clean and have a meal ready. For someone who travels with a good degree of curiosity 'means to enter into a family history, discover the characters, and, if you want it, the routine of a singular' Greek island, its rhythms and grace in the way it all every day unfolds. From Tassoula and 'always surrounded by generous attention, especially a genuine kindness that I fear only you will' increase a little your 'weight! Happen 'that Tassoula the morning cuddle with beignets with honey and rice pudding and more' know that the best restaurant is 'always at home, I guarantee. Just you decide to have dinner and she'll get on the 'table many delicious traditional dishes !. You will also learn to cook some if you want to observe her during the preparation! Everything 'in the context of a small farmhouse nestled in a beautiful landscape for half country and half 'sea where fresh spend evenings in the arbor and in the morning you wake up with the rooster. A few steps away is a small beach that deserves to be the most 'neighbor, a basin of the sea where you can relax in the shade of tamarisk and take long swims at sunset....marina2015-06-20T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful holiday in Milos, staying at Villa Tasoula. Frank was a very nice and attentive host, giving us all the information we needed. His brother was so kind to pick us up from the port and bring us back there by car. The flat is extremely clean & has the best shower you can wish for. The cute litte veranda outside is perfect to enjoy a drink in the evening or watch the sunrise in the early morning (!). All in all we had a really great stay in this very welcoming family run villa, with the nicest Mom ever. She treated us with fresh fruits & cake almost every day.Katja2016-09-01T00:00:00Z
Staying at Villa Tasoula was an incredible experience. The apartment itself is newly built, modernly decorated with all the amenities you could ask for and more (cleanly stored in the cupboards are various pots, coffee makers etc :). Frank took incredibly good care of us, providing us with island tips+tricks, snacks, fruit, water and Nespresso coffee capsules throughout our whole stay (and not just as a complimentary welcome gift), elevating our staying experience to a whole new level (especially when you're coming back from a full day at the beach and you hadn't had time to go grocery shopping). The ceiling fan was all we needed for air conditioning as it was strong enough and remote controlled (we never felt the need to turn on the actual A/C unit). The bed was very comfortable and spacious, the front porch a very nice chill spot, the (beautiful) beach 5' on foot. Would definitely stay there in our next Milos visit!Panagiotis2016-08-10T00:00:00Z
We loved our stay at the Villa Tasoula and would recommend it without hesitation. Frank was an amazing host, we don't drive so he picked us up from the ferry and lent us bicycles for getting around. Our room was cleaned on a daily basis and we were left fresh baked goods. The apartment is in a great location, its a 10 minute walk to the centre of Adamas and a 5minute walk from the beach which we swam in on numerous occasions. If we are back in Milos we will definitely try and stay here again!ciara2016-09-23T00:00:00Z
Frank was so on top of everything! He was happy to accommodate us in any way possible, and kept in frequent contact with us throughout the day to ensure we saw the best of Milos, ate at the best restaurants, that our space was clean and comfortable, and really enjoyed ourselves. We loved his home- it was clean, bright, modern, and so pretty! And had all the little things we needed- the simple things like a laundry machine, god wifi, clean sheets, and delicious homemade baked goods were the perfect little touch! The neighbourhood was also ideal- a km away from the port, and a quick drive to Sarakinko Beach (our favourite visit!), everything was very accessible.Taylor2016-09-11T00:00:00Z

Σας ευχαριστούμε πολύ για την φιλοξενία σας!stamatia2016-08-23T00:00:00Z
Frank was fantastic very helpful! The apartment was amazing like the photos, everythings were new and they clean every day. If you rent a car (in Milos you need a car) the location is perfect, between plaka and pollonia , 15 minutes far from the south beachs. There is also a parking close to the villa. I really recommend Frank and his villa!Lorenzo2016-08-07T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time here, Kostis was extremely nice and helped us in all, we had fruits from the garden and an amazing view outside. Highly recommended to have a car to get there and move around the island, and would be great to have warm water early in the morning. In general great experience and would be coming backLeonid2015-08-27T00:00:00Z
Nous avons séjourné dans l'appartement que Kostis a mis a notre disposition en toute quiétude. Nous sommes arrivé tard dans la nuit du a l'arrivée tardive de notre bateau et malgrés cela une personne de sa famille est venue nous accueillir au port. C'est un geste particulièrement sympathique ! Il n'y a rien à redire quant à cette reservation...que du positif !!!Stephane2016-04-14T00:00:00Z
Very good experience. We were collected by Giannis at the port and driven to the apartment. Giannis was lovely and the apartment was great. Be warned that it is abit out of the way so be sure to know the bus times (the bus stop is only 20seconds down the road but very rare out of tourist season) or otherwise your own mode of transport. Also there is no wifi. However, a lovely apartment on an absolutely beautiful island, great communication from the host. Thanks!Ana2015-10-17T00:00:00Z
Kostis is a great host. He picked us up at the harbour when we arrived. The room is very spacious and the pictures match reality. When we returned to the place late at the first evening there was a big fat greek wedding in the neighbouring restaurant. Kostis reacted immediately and moved us to the other appartment that has soundproof windows and is facing the other side without upgrading the price. Thank you so much, saved our first nights' sleep.Lauri2015-09-27T00:00:00Z
We had a great time in Milos and Kostis was very helpful for our arrival. The house is very nice and clean. We recomend to rent a car or motorbike to visit Milos.Anna2016-09-03T00:00:00Z
great, new apartment. best shower ever! also they do daily cleaning which was unexpected. also there is wifi. good view of surroundings but not what pictures show. helpful and responsive. had some issues with electricity but they fixed it. only thing is it's about a 20minute walk to adamas which is fine if you like walking! otherwise hire a car so you can explore the whole island. buses seem very rare.Samara2016-05-19T00:00:00Z
My friend and loved this airbnb after coming in from a hectic travel day from Athens. We were picked up by Giannis at port and driven to the airbnb where we stayed one night. Giannis was nice enough to suggest some restaurants and things to do and pointed out some beaches to check out on a map. The area is about a 20 minute walk outside of the port but it's a nice walk. It's a quiet area and very cute. We loved our stay and would come back again.Justina2016-05-24T00:00:00Z
Kostis and Giannis were great! The space was just as it was pictured, and it was located just a short walk to town. Sarakiniko is only a short walk away as well. I would recommend staying here!Pavlos2016-09-10T00:00:00Z
Parasporos, Milos, 希臘
Kostas and Marina have been perfect hosts. The room was very clean and cozy. The views, the pool and the gardens very beautiful. Kostas helped us with the rent a car and recomended us places to go and places to eat in the whole island. The breakfast in the morning was perfect, with fruit, greek yogurt with honey, coffe, bread, jam and butter, croasaint with nuttela... For sure if I go back again to Milos I will repeat in Alexandros Village, the same rent a car (Apollonas Sunshine) and the same places for eat. Alexandros is the best place to stay and relax.Patricia2016-05-18T00:00:00Z
Staying at Alexandros Village was a delight. Everything is perfect, the place was peaceful and beautiful. The host was great and very helpful. I completely recommend this to anyone who wants to visit Milos.Cedric2016-06-06T00:00:00Z
Kostas met us at the port and gave us plenty of suggestions for activities. He was kind enough to take us to a car rental agency and tried to arrange for a sailing trip. The location allows for fantastic views - we enjoyed waking early to see the sun rise. The breakfast spread is more than ample - will definitely return!Michael2016-08-21T00:00:00Z
Constantin gère avec sa famille une dizaine de chambres. Il est très très disponible pour ses hôtes Il prend en charge ceux-ci à leur descente de bateau (gratuitement), idem pour le retour. Disponible pour des conseils. Constantin a fait venir pour nous une voiture de location qui nous a permis de découvrir Milos (cela semble nécessaire) : en une après-midi, nous abons largement découvert (Tripiti, les catacombes, le théâtre, Appolonia au nord-est, le site de papafragas et de sarakiniko pour finir avec Plaka et son castro) Nous ne pouvons que renouveler nos remerciements à Constantin ety à sa famille pour leur accueil.bernard 2016-06-28T00:00:00Z
Lovely place to stay with a beautiful room, breakfast and pool. Alexandros was extremely helpful to us whenever we had a question and gave us recommendations on places to go on the island and places to eat. He also came an collected us from the ferry then brought us to the local village in order to collect the car we wanted. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend Alexandros Village.Naomi2016-07-10T00:00:00Z
My friend and I stayed here for 3 nights in Alexandros Village. Our room was charming, adorable, and very clean. It's about a 15-20 minute walk into town, but we were able to rent ATVs to get around. Definitely would say again.Justina2016-05-28T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful vacation at Alexandros Village in Milos. Kostas, the owner, is very friendly and at the moment we arrived, he gave us all the necessary information about the places we should visit. The room, in a very beautiful garden by the swimming pool, was perfectly clean and tidy and offered us a great opportunity of relax in peace. Breakfast, also served in the garden, was really nice. We definitely recommend Alexandros Village and we are going to visit it again(URL HIDDEN) .Anna2016-09-12T00:00:00Z
Konstantinos was a warm, practical and super helpful host! He went beyond his way to help me with things such as my trip back to athens. I was without a vehicle in the island and he often took me to the port and I am so grateful. Marina was always so sweet to me. Making my staying easy and I got used to how the island work in a day! I would definetely stay again at Alexandros Village! The rooms are exactly how you see them in photos and super dooper clean! They made my bed everyday and got me fresh towels! I sat in the breakfast writing and it was a joyful part of my day! Milos rules!Luisa2015-09-22T00:00:00Z

Had a wonderful time at Katerina's lovely apartment! Fantastic shower and daily cleaning is a plus! Less than 5 minute walk to the main port with ferry and restaurants! Perfect spot in Milos!Peter2016-09-10T00:00:00Z
Katarina was really helpful as she confirmed our booking and arranged pickup from the port, at very short notice! (Thank you). The apartment was as pictured, but a little too cosy for three persons. On the up side it actually was only ~80m to one of the town beaches :-). It's a good place to stay if you have no transport for a couple of days, but we would recommend getting a car and exploring some of the amazing beaches Milos has to offer .... it's well worth the drive ! Enjoy :-)Shawna2016-08-23T00:00:00Z

La chambre que j'ai loué à Evangelia était très confortable, et a parfaitement répondu à mes attentes en terme d'espace, de propreté et d'équipement ( la climatisation, frigo, plaque chauffante et four, douche...). Elle est bien située à moins de 10 mn à pied du port d'Adamantas, à 300 m environ de la plage de Papikinou, il y a aussi un arrêt de bus à cet endroit ( direction aéroport). Evangelia et sa famille sont vraiment des hôtes très sympathiques, qui m'ont donné plein d'indications pour rendre mon séjour agréable; elle même est une personne très attentionnée: corbeille de fruits et eau fraiche à l'arrivée, petits cadeaux culinaires spécialités de Milos ;) . J'ai eu beaucoup de plaisir a partager des discussions avec elle, et je la remercie encore de son accueil chaleureux.Isabelle2016-07-20T00:00:00Z
Evangelia is a lovely host, making everything to ensure we had a pleasant stay. Thank you again for this great time in Milos.Ludy2016-07-26T00:00:00Z
the room is nice, simple, clean. The hosts are very welcomming. However the room is located strght on the street level and there are may cars passing by. A little bit noisy in such a peaceful island.Mirie2016-09-02T00:00:00Z

Lorsque nous avons reserve Matilda nous a prévenu qu'une grève de ferry avait lieu ce qui nous a grandement aidé. Matilda est venue nous chercher au port et nous a donné toutes les informations des plus utiles. le logement est spacieux, fonctionnel (il y a même une machine à laver)et très propre. Le ménage est fait tous les jours! Sur Milos il est intéressant de louer ne voiture ou scooter même si vous aimez marcher. carrefour market à 5 minutes à pied ainsi que les autres commerces( boulangerie, Restos, paharmacie...) Plaka, Mandraka, Plathinia et Firopotamos à 1km. Bref, Mathilda est aux petits soins tout en respectant la tranquillité. Super séjour ! Merci Matilda et aussi sa maman.Francoise2016-09-25T00:00:00Z
A wonderful host. Very knowledgable about the island and when we left some of our clothes in the apartment she raced to the ferry to give them to us! The apartment is lovely, plenty of room and an outside space with a beautiful view over the town. The location is good because you can walk to some shops and restaurants. We had a fantastic time!Katie2016-08-12T00:00:00Z
Matilda met us at the ferry terminal and aided us with obtaining a rental car. She made sure we were able to get to her home without any issues and spent considerable time outlining attractions near her home on a map , taking care to highlight the sites we were interested in seeing. She even provided us with several excellent lunch and dinner recommendations! The whole experience was great and everyone in our group would highly recommend this listing in the future.Gretchen2016-09-21T00:00:00Z
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans le bel appartement de Matilda. L'appartement est moderne, spacieux et très bien équipé avec une jolie vue depuis sa terrasse. Nous avons été très bien accueillis par Matilda et sa famille qui nous attendaient au port à notre arrivée. Matilda nous a également beaucoup facilité la vie en s'occupant de la location de notre voiture, et est de très bon conseil concernant les restaurants et endroits à visiter. Merci Matilda!Leïla2016-09-06T00:00:00Z
Appartamento perfetto! Pulito ed in una zona molto comoda. Matilda è stata gentilissima indicandoci luoghi da visitare, ristoranti, spiagge e le strade da percorrere per raggiungere le diverse zone dell'isola. Tutto perfetto!Fabio2016-09-14T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful stay at Matilda's. The apartment was spacious, clean and in a nice village just outside of Plaka. Matilda was a great host and very easy to communicate with. She was responsive and gave us suggestions of places to see on the island. Would love to stay here again.olivia2016-07-13T00:00:00Z
Abbiamo trascorso due settimane piacevoli e rilassanti in questo bellissimo appartamento da dove potevamo ammirare il paese di Triovasalos. Matilda con le sue indicazioni ci ha fatto scoprire gli angoli piu' belli dell'isola di Milos ed i ristoranti migliori. Abbiamo molto apprezzato il servizio quotidiano di pulizia dell'appartamento svolto con grande professionalita'. In ultimo un ringraziamento a Matilda per il grande aiuto che ci ha fornito in occasione di un problema di salute che ha avuto mia moglie. Un soggiorno presso Matilda è senz'altro consigliato.Roberto2016-08-28T00:00:00Z
We had lovely three days at Matildas place. Evetything was clean and she took really good care of me and my friends. I can only recommend Matildas place and i'm gonna be back there for sure! Thank you very much Matilda :-)Helen2016-08-14T00:00:00Z
Triovasalos, Egeo, 希臘
All the communication went very well right from the beginning. Manolis picked us up from the harbour and organized the rental car. Gladwin welcomed us with some lovely biscuits and made sure everything we possibly needed throughout the two weeks of our stay was there. It felt like being on holiday right from the start!! The house was as beautiful as we had expected. The terrasse roof overlooking the sea was just amazing. The neighbourhood is beautiful and historically interesting and the locals very friendly. All in all we enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely come back.Lilian2016-10-14T00:00:00Z
Spent a week at the yellow boat house. Highlight of our 3 weeks in Greece. 20 minutes from every amazing beach on Milos but also very quiet and relaxing. 15 minute walk to the ancient theater and catacombs. 25 minute walk up to great restaurants in tripiti. Swimming every morning and evening off the dock in front of the house. Sunset views. Huge roof deck, plenty of space for our family of 4 to move about. And this is the real deal. Loaded with history. It's been in their family for generations. Tour boats pass once a day loaded with people taking photos of this little string of boat houses in Klima. Part of the house incorporates a 2000 year old roman wall! And the attention from the Host, Gladwin, is incomparable. I don't think it ever took her more than 5 minutes to write back to me. She arranged a car for us, a boat tour, and recommended some amazing restaurants. Hope I can go back some day.David2016-06-30T00:00:00Z
Gladwin was an absolutely wonderful host ! During our time in greece there was a ferry strike and we ended up having to change our dates and didn't even arrive in Milos until around 3am. Gladwin was accommodating and even met us at the dock and took us to the boat house. She then had her husband pick us up the next morning and take us to rent an ATV. She checked up on us every few days and was so kind and generous throughout our stay. What can I say about the boathouse? It is the most beautiful place I have ever been, and it is so peaceful and calm. It is very close to adamas and plaka and with an ATV we were easily able to get around the island, all of the famous beaches and eateries are within a 5-10 minute ride. I highly recommend staying here compared to some cookie cutter hotel....the boat house is the most romantic and picturesque place you could imagine.Kayte2016-05-15T00:00:00Z
Gladwin was waving from the top terrace as we ferried past and then greeted us at the cottage with greek cake. The cottage is charming, steeped in history and great ambiance. Logistics wise you have to be nimble to climb up the stairs and be ready for a rustic kitchen and bathroom. we loved our stay and hosts.Michele2015-04-02T00:00:00Z
Thank you for this perfect stay! It was deffenitly beyond expectations!glenn2017-04-19T00:00:00Z
Peaceful and beautiful. Not luxury, but everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Walking distance to Tripiti (if you don't mind hills).Tom2017-05-05T00:00:00Z
Très typique et agréableugo2015-10-26T00:00:00Z
A great place to stay to watch the boats go by and see the stars at night. Creature comforts are there if you have any doubt, thoughtfully provided by Gladwin, it is both simple and comfortable and the location is unique. We would definitely stay again.Brendan2016-08-13T00:00:00Z

This was a great find for staying local and getting great tips on what to do on Milos. The owner, Christos, who lives on the property was very accessible and had great suggestions. He knew many people on the island that he would call directly to get information for us. For instance, he called a restaurant in Pallonio to see if they had fresh fish from the day's catch, we made a reservation and got to see our Grouper before it landed on our table. The property is a short walk from the restaurants in Adamas and we could walk there easily from the port once we disembarked from the ferry. He also helped us navigate how to see the island by boat and helped us rent a car that we could leave at the airport. They brought us breakfast to our patio each morning once they heard we were up. We didn't even have to ask. The only thing that could have made this place better was if it had two separate bedrooms and a sitting room. One of the beds is in the living area, which we knew before we checked in. Overall, it was an outstanding experience with some very nice locals. I would go back to Milos in a heartbeat and would definitely consider Villa Venus again. Many thanks to Nikos and Christos for incredible hospitality. Efcharisto!Shane2016-09-04T00:00:00Z
Villa Venus est parfaitement bien situé à Adamas, principale ville et port d'arrivée de l'ile de Milos. L'appartement est très propre et nous avons été très bien accueillis. Le balcon spacieux avec sa table pour quatre et le marché au coin de la rue nous a permis de manger à la Villa quand bon nous semblait. Définitivement une excellente expérience. Nous la recommandons fortement.Pierre2016-05-23T00:00:00Z
Nikos was a great host and very quick to respond to all of our questions. When we arrived Cristos ( property manager) walked through the apartment with us to explain all the amenities, and sat down with us to go over a map of the island and gave personal recommendations for beaches and restaurants. He also immediately arranged for us to rent an ATV to use on the island. Both Nikos and Cristos made our stay flawless and so easy. The apartment was exactly as pictured, and cleaned daily. We had a great time and would definitely visit again! When leaving the airport by taxi make sure to be dropped off at Villa Venus, as there is a similar Venus hotel a few blocks away. There are no addresses on the island. Perfect place to stay and the best part of our trip! Ten stars!Marissa2016-09-08T00:00:00Z
Mr. Christos was so accommodating and helpful! The apartment was very spacious, clean and easy to access. Also was in a great centralized location from everywhere we wanted to be.Jessica2016-06-08T00:00:00Z

Logement petit mais agréable, calme et confortable. Petit courette très sympa pour prendre le frais ou le petit déjeuner . Dimitris et sa famille sont très accueillant, une petite collation de bienvenue dans le frigo nous attendait. Très bien situé, bus, resto, site archéologique, plage. Coup de cœur, très bonne adresse, à recommander sans restriction.jean2016-07-27T00:00:00Z
Dimitris was very helpful and welcoming. He picked up from the bus station and gave us a map and explained some good places to go. He was also sweet and left us some fruit, cake and water in the fridge. Dimitris and his father also helped us organise a taxi when we needed to leave easily in the morning. The room is really nice and everything clean and there is a cute little court yard to sit outside. The house is in a great location on the edge of Trypiti, really super close to Plaka and provides for easy and beautiful walks around. I would highly recommend the place.Anica2016-08-30T00:00:00Z
Really clean, the location is perfect and very useful, the bus station is located at 10 meters from the flat. Dimitris's mum very is very nice, she recommend us a lot of places to see during our holidays ! Thanks a lot.Benoit2016-08-16T00:00:00Z
Το διαμέρισμα ήταν αρκετά ικανοποιητικό και διέθετε ο,τι χρειαζόταν. Ήταν καθαρό και σχετικά ευρύχωρο. Ο οικοδεσπότης ήταν πολύ εξυπηρετικός και πρόθυμος να μας βοηθήσει σε ο,τι χρειαστήκαμε. Η τοποθεσία του διαμερίσματος είναι πολύ καλή διότι αφενός βρίσκεται δίπλα στη μαγευτική Πλάκα και τα περισσότερα αξιοθέατα, αφετέρου η γειτονιά είναι πολλή ήσυχη και δεν έχει το συνωστισμό που έχει το κέντρο (Αδάμας). Η πρόσβαση στις περισσότερες παραλίες ήταν εύκολη και η διαδρομή με το αυτοκίνητο δεν ξεπερνούσε τα 20 λεπτά. Ήταν σίγουρα μία πολύ ωραία εμπειρία.Athina2016-07-22T00:00:00Z
Sono stata a Milos nell'alternative backyard una settimana. L'accoglienza è stata delle migliori,Dimitris e suo papà sono persone molto disponibili per ogni evenienza. L'appartamento si trova in posizione molto comoda, la fermata dell'autobus è esattamente di fronte a casa e da casa si può raggiungere a piedi il paesino di Plaka, molto bello. Milos è un'isola fantastica e consiglio vivamente il soggiorno in questa struttura!Francy2016-08-14T00:00:00Z
Dimitris is very Kind and was always in contact to help us. Nice place in a good Position to get to all important places on the Island . Very silent and nice surrounding.Sascha2016-09-20T00:00:00Z
Tripiti is one of the attractions to be visited in Milos, and this place is juste few minutes walk away from the centre and other sites (catacombes, Klima, ancient theatre). It is easily reachable by bus which runs from Adamas ((URL HIDDEN) for timetables and fares). We were welcomed with grapes and water, the house was clean and well furnished (nice backyard to take breakfast).Dario2016-09-09T00:00:00Z
Un piso muy acogedor en el centro de Tripiti, un pueblecito muy bonito en medio de la montaña. La misma carretera de la casa te lleva a Plaka, un pueblo con mucho encanto, también está cerca del antiguo puerto pescador de Klima. Muy cerca de la casa hay un Carrefour. Nosotros alquilamos una moto en Adama y nos fué perfecto para movernos hasta la casa y conocer el resto de la isla. La casa és muy acogedora y Dimitris estubo muy atento a todo. Muy recomendable.Andreu2016-09-12T00:00:00Z

This is a beautiful cottage house. It is quiet and a short drive to a lot of gorgeous beaches. The house has everything you need in terms of amenities including the barbeque in the amazing huge terrace looking down the meadows. The decoration is tasteful and colorful, respecting its tradition at the same time. Manolis is a great host, always keen to make us feel welcomed. He also picked us up from the airport when we arrived and he took us back on our departure date. The refrigerator was full of beverages and goodies waiting for us in the kitchen for the first days. Looking forward to the next time in Milos and Manolis' house for a longer period next time. Thank you Manolis, for sharing with us your beautiful cottage. I highly recommend this house in Milos.Dora2017-02-21T00:00:00Z

Dietitian/Nutritionist, Mumbai
I am a registered dietitian and doctor who will help you in managing your weight. Let me know your food intake details. The best diet is one which is healthy and well balanced with foods from all the food groups, and one which is varied and that you can stick to weight loss on some diets can be dramatic in the short term, but there's more of a chance of rebound weight gain. Set yourself a realistic target and aim to lose between (0.5-1.0kg) a week I being a registered dietitian strongly accommodate the patients own preferences without the patient feeling that they are on a diet not compromising the weight management goals. Reply back for private consultation for diet therapy.

21 years old male from Jaipur asked
I have desk job and in the last 2years my weight has gone up from 75kgs to 85kgs. I want to lose my weight please help.
Hye. Thanks for the query. Maintaining body weight is not a one time effort that you try, succeed or fail or drop the actions that take you there. You are what you eat. Your weight is nothing but a balance of how much you eat and how much you burn or exercise. Understanding this art of balance will make it easy to maintain your body weight. Walking, swimming, strength training as well as eating are all calorie burning processes. Along with this if you eat sensibly; then you will see the scales move. There is no short cut to losing weight. You have to eat the right foods at the right time. Eat small but frequent meals. Reduce your main meals by a small amount. Take a glass of lime water 10minutes before meals. Avoid long gaps in between meals. Avoid junk as far as possible. Exercise at least 4 times a week. Lastly be committed. Remember it's a lifestyle change and not a one time thing. It's a balanced intake that will last you longer. All the so called fad, crash diets, medicines, pills or supplements will only give you muscle and bone loss. The fats will remain as it is. So, lose that fat not muscle mass.

Our Daily energy requirements for proper functioning of our body is 1600-2200 K cal of Energy if we want to remain fit and healthy.But there is a misconception that weight is reduced by dieting.But weight is not reduced by only skipping our meals or prohibition from sugars but until we are not aware what are our body energy requirements ,it will be difficult to loose weight.If we restrict ourself from taking daily diet to 1100-1200 Kcalories ,and increases our workouts,only then we can think about reducing our weight and for that we must obtain proper knowledge of exact energy levels in a particular dish we are eating,only then we can achieve our target of reducing weight by means of simple mathematical calculation.

21 years old female from Salem asked
How to reduce weight by dieting? Please refer some food items in Indians style that could help me to reduce weight.
Hi here are some changes to make to improve your eating habits: - incorporate more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains into your diet while eliminating unhealthy foods. - if you are working or studying away from home, try to pack healthy lunch and snacks for yourself to avoid eating unhealthy food daily. - don't eat straight from the packet - use a plate or bowl to control how much you eat. - don't delay or skip meals. - cut down your consumption of aerated drinks and sodas. - drink at least 8 glasses of water every day. Drink water after waking up and before sleeping. Being dehydrated may make you feel like you're hungry, so it is important to stay hydrated. - have homemade fruit and vegetable juices - eat 5-6 small healthy meals every 2-3 hours, every day, instead of having a few big ones. This regulates your blood sugar level and your metabolism. - don't skip breakfast, instead, make it rich with complex carbohydrates and proteins, so it can provide you with energy to get through the day. Try to include the following as your morning breakfast, oats porridge, eggs on multigrain toast or daliya with sprouts. - avoid artificial sweeteners in processed foods. - eat slowly as it takes about 20 minutes for your brain to register if you're full or not. Eating too fast leads to overeating, so chew slowly to digest your food better and control how much you eat. - use a smaller plate to control your portion sizes and avoid overeating. - know your cravings and do not snack when you're emotional. It is said that you crave crunchy and savory food when you're stressed, frustrated or lonely. Figure out what you crave and replace them with healthier alternatives. - do not eat mindlessly; concentrate on your food instead of watching tv or playing with your phone to avoid overeating.

58 years old female from Ajmer asked
Hi Doctor, I'm working lady of 58 yrs, with 4'11height nd weighing 80 kgs. My problem is because of time I' unable to go for walk or do any kind of exercise. My other problem is nowadays it has become very difficult to keep petty things remember or say memory loss. please help.
Hye. Thankyou for your query. There's no overnight fix when it comes to healthy weight loss, but you can adjust your lifestyle to promote quick, natural weight loss for the benefit of your health and your appearance. Successful, long-term weight management needs to focus on more than the food you eat and the pounds you lose. It needs to focus on your overall health. Reshape your body and your lifestyle by adopting healthy habits and breaking unhealthy ones. Replace all processed foods in your diet with vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low-fat dairy, lean meats, eggs, legumes, nuts, seeds and seafood. Focus on the variety of whole, unprocessed foods you can eat instead of dwelling on the junk food you eliminated from your diet. Eat smaller portions at every meal and avoid going back for seconds. Take a smaller scoop of rice, half of a piece of chicken instead of a whole piece and one less egg in your morning omelet, for example. Make time for breakfast every morning. Eating breakfast helps prevent overeating and is a habit of people who successfully lose weight. Pack to-go meals instead of eating convenience foods when you're not home. Store foods like chopped fruits and vegetables or cooked grains, legumes, eggs and meats in your refrigerator so you always have something to grab when you're in a rush. Buy fresh vegetables and fruits from the grocery store if you forget to bring healthful food from home. When you can't avoid dining at a restaurant, opt for a salad as a starter, and always ask for the dressing on the side. Clear soups, lean meats, seafood and grain-based dishes like roti, whole grain bread are other good choices. Exercise for 30 to 60 minutes at least three times per week to build muscle and burn more calories. Pilates, strength training, aerobics, swimming, dancing and yoga or a sport like football are ideal choices. If you're new to exercising, start with brisk walking and jogging. Adopt physically demanding hobbies like bicycling, hiking, jogging, power walking to promote faster weight loss. If you don't have time for new hobbies, increase your physical activity with things like walking the dog, playing with the kids or jogging instead of driving to a nearby store or taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Understand that with good nutrition and some physical activity you can enhance your mental alertness and concentration.

Nanoscale objects provide opportunities to revolutionize the conversion of solar energy by enabling highly efficient and low-cost devices. Challenges associated with demonstrating high efficiency and stability are now being addressed in the research community.
Subject terms:
At a glance
Nanostructured materials are being investigated and developed as versatile components of optoelectronic devices with the ability to manipulate light (via plasmonic enhancement, photonic crystals, and so on) and control energy flow at nearly the atomic level. Nanostructured solar cells — a type of third- or next-generation solar cell1 — include those that are based on nanostructures and/or nanostructured interfaces such as nanowire, mesoscopic and quantum dot solar cells. They hold great promise towards new approaches for converting solar energy into either electricity (in photovoltaic devices) or chemical fuels. There are challenges to overcome but the potential benefits are worth the efforts.
The solar photovoltaic challenge
The commercial and domestic adoption of photovoltaics as an energy source depends on its costs to consumers in $/kWh (all costs are in US$), and on how it compares with that of conventional energy sources. The overall cost can be estimated from the rated cost per peak watt (in $/Wp), which includes a component related to the operation of the solar module ('module cost'), and one to its installation ('balance of system costs'). The former strongly depends on the power conversion efficiency (PCE), which is determined by the fraction of the total solar irradiance that a solar cell converts into electricity. The module cost is defined as the ratio of the cost per unit area to the product of both the PCE and the average solar irradiance at midday with no clouds (that is, 1,000 W m−2). The balance of system costs covers all other elements (wiring, supports, switches, inverter, and so on) of the installed photovoltaic system other than the module, and can be roughly approximated as equal to the module cost. The total cost per peak watt of a photovoltaic system is therefore roughly twice the module cost per peak watt, and scales inversely with PCE. Finally, to obtain the overall cost per kWh there are other factors to take into account: cloud coverage, the position of the Sun in the sky as it changes during the day, diurnal cycles, depreciation of the photovoltaic module and maintenance costs. As a rule of thumb, the numerical value of the cost per kWh is obtained by multiplying the total cost per peak watt by 0.05. With the current cost of photovoltaics approaching about 1 $/Wp, the average cost to the consumer is ~0.10 $/kWh, which is comparable to the average cost for grid electricity in the US (ref. 2) — this situation is called grid parity.
While recent cost reductions of modules are a step in the right direction, we believe that the costs are not yet low enough to guarantee substantial uptake of photovoltaics by consumers. In the US, for example, assuming a continued absence of a carbon tax, reaching grid parity is unlikely to displace a large fraction of energy utilization from fossil fuels because the fossil fuel infrastructure is huge and entrenched. For widespread adoption of solar, the costs of next-generation photovoltaics should probably be reduced to a half or a third of the average grid costs (that is, 0.05 to 0.03 $/kWh; Fig. 1, shaded region). This can be achieved, for example, by a module with PCE of 40% and a cost per unit module area of 160 $/m2, or a PCE of 30% with a module cost of 120 $/m2. Figure 1 shows the relationship between $/m2, rated module PCE and $/kWh. These targets assume long-term stability (10–15 years) and no environmental degradation or negative impact. According to the Shockley–Queisser detailed balance analysis, the PCE of photovoltaic devices with a single light-absorbing component is capped at ~33%3. The first silicon-based solar cell, introduced in 1941 by Russell Ohl4, had PCE of less than 1%; since then, owing to advances in materials processing/quality and device configurations, PCEs have asymptotically approached the Shockley–Queisser limit. The current laboratory record efficiencies for Si is 25.6%5, while for GaAs it is 28.8%5. These record efficiency cells employ bulk crystalline semiconductors.
How nanostructured solar cells help
Nanoscale systems exhibit different properties than bulk or thin films of the same compounds, and have allowed new ways of approaching solar energy conversion for electricity generation or fuels. The large surface-to-volume ratio of nanomaterials can provide various benefits, and, furthermore, objects with a size of ~1–20 nm can also exhibit quantization effects, which become more pronounced with decreasing size. Two broad approaches based on nanostructures are being explored for photovoltaics: (1) significant reduction in material usage and/or associated final costs; (2) photovoltaic devices with a higher limiting efficiency than that determined by the Shockley–Queisser analysis. Both approaches, individually or in combination, can lead to significantly lower costs per kWh.
Reduced material costs and/or usage. Front surface reflectivity in a solar cell leads to losses. If light is not absorbed by the active component, it cannot be converted into electricity. Crystalline Si reflects ~30% of the incoming light, and conventional cells employ anti-reflection layers to reduce these losses to about 3–4%, but at an added manufacturing cost. Nanostructured surfaces can reduce reflection losses when the size of the nanostructures is smaller than the wavelength of the incident light. If those nanostructures are also active components, then the need to deposit costly anti-reflection coatings and texturing can be avoided6. Furthermore, patterned nanostructures can be designed to capture even more light via light trapping so that less material is needed to absorb the solar flux7,8.
The low absorptivity of silicon requires the use of thick films in order to absorb all incident light. This poses a constraint on material quality, because high-purity materials, with long minority-carrier lifetimes, are needed to enable carrier collection over relatively large distances. Moreover, thicker films result in increased material costs. One approach to relaxing such requirements has been explored by using radial p–n junction Si nanowires7. A core–annular p–n junction (Fig. 2b) is fabricated along the length of the wire. When the incident light generates charge carriers at the junction, minority carriers only need to traverse the nanowire diameter in order to be collected. With less stringent requirements on the minority-carrier lifetimes, lower grade silicon can be used. By combining light-trapping effects and reduced carrier lifetimes, in nanowire solar cells both the amount and quality of raw materials used can be greatly reduced8.
In traditional solar cells fabricated from bulk semiconductors, electrons and holes are generated when light is absorbed in the semiconductor9. They then separate and migrate to different contacts to produce both a voltage V and current I, and thus power (P = I × V). Because of the large dielectric constants of these materials, electrons and holes are quickly screened from one another and do not interact. Nanostructuring is a way to bypass the requirement of high-dielectric-constant semiconductors and allows use of new classes of materials and device designs. For example, two dissimilar materials, where one is n-type (conducts electrons) and the other is p-type (conducts holes), can be intermixed with nanoscale morphology (Fig. 2c). Absorption of light produces an excited state (exciton) that undergoes rapid charge transfer producing electrons and holes in separate phases, making their interaction less probable. Two types of solar cell are based on this design: organic photovoltaic devices and dye-sensitized solar cells.
Another next-generation approach for photovoltaics is based on semiconductor nanocrystals. Their most important properties for photovoltaic applications are the strong size-dependence of the bandgap, and the large modification of the relaxation dynamics of photoexcited charge carriers that are created by the absorption of photons within energies larger than the bandgap. The bandgap of the absorber layer controls which photons can be absorbed and limits the output voltage of a solar cell9. Because only the radiation with higher energy than the bandgap is absorbed, narrower-bandgap materials absorb more solar photons, resulting in higher photocurrents. However, the output voltage is linearly proportional to the bandgap, and thus wider-bandgap materials allow higher voltages. In the Shockley–Queisser analysis there is an optimal bandgap that achieves the highest efficiencies, and ranges between 1.2 and 1.4 eV. Semiconductors with bandgaps lower than 1 eV are generally not employed in single-layer solar cells. Quantum confinement effects in quantum dots (QDs) can increase the bandgap by more than 1 eV compared with the bulk value10, expanding the range of semiconductor materials viable for photovoltaics. A prototypical example is PbS. Bulk PbS has a bandgap of 0.4 eV but PbS QDs can have bandgaps from ~0.6 to ~2 eV depending on their size.
Quantum dot solar cells (Fig. 2a) can be processed from colloidal solutions at ambient temperatures, enabling relatively low manufacturing costs. For example, PbS QDs can be synthesized and processed into films near ambient temperature11 without vacuum processing12. Efforts have focused on the specific deposition steps that can impact both the optical and electrical properties of the QD films13. Solar cell efficiencies are now approaching 9% using PbS QDs with a bandgap of 1.25–1.4 eV (refs 12,14). Other QDs of interest for photovoltaic applications are crystalline precursor inks, which after annealing produce continuous larger-grain thin films with bulk-like properties15. Examples include QDs made of CdTe, copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS), copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) and Si. Recent newcomers are solution-processed perovskite solar cells16, which evolved from nanostructured device concepts. However, like most other single-junction devices, their efficiency is limited by the Shockley–Queisser analysis, and will need to be incorporated into multijunction architectures in order to achieve higher efficiencies.
Increasing efficiency limits
New photovoltaic technologies should have the potential not only to reduce module costs but also to achieve PCE beyond ~33%. Two critical assumptions of the Shockley–Queisser analysis are: (1) photons with energy less than the semiconductor bandgap are not absorbed and thus cannot contribute to PCE; (2) energetic electrons created by high-energy photons immediately relax to the band edge (that is, the fraction of energy of photons with energy greater than the bandgap is immediately lost as heat). Approaches to achieve higher limiting efficiencies attempt to either use the high-energy photons more efficiently, or recover the low-energy photons normally not converted. Nanostructures are being explored to eliminate these losses.
Multijunction solar cells commonly employ a stack of p–n junctions where the bandgap of the light-absorbing semiconductor decreases in successive layers. In the limit of an infinite number of junctions, the theoretical PCE reaches 68% at 1-sun intensity17. A 1-sun PCE of 34.1% has been achieved in a triple-junction solar cell based on III–V semiconductors5. Under optical concentration, the efficiency increases, and the record PCE for any photovoltaic cell is 44.4% when measured with light equivalent to 302 suns (ref. 5). However, these high-efficiency cells are far too expensive. Nanomaterials are being explored as part of multiple-junction solar cells18, 19, because the same material can be used to produce layers with different bandgaps, and the multiple junctions can be solution-processed at significantly lower cost.
Other examples of circumventing assumptions of the Shockley–Queisser analysis using nanostructures include intermediate-band solar cells20 and solar cells based on multiple exciton generation (MEG)1. In addition, nanocrystals can be components of up and/or down conversion layers and fluorescent concentrators21, all of which attempt to reach higher efficiencies at lower cost. Multiple exciton generation, or carrier multiplication, allows a single photon to produce multiple excitons (electron–hole pairs)22. This increases the photocurrent and can permit the PCE to exceed the limit imposed by the Shockley–Queisser analysis23, which assumes that each photon only produces one electron. Multiple exciton generation is greatly enhanced in QDs compared with bulk semiconductors because the competition between the relaxation pathways of the MEG and of phonon emission, as well as the hot-carrier relaxation24, can be modified to favour MEG. Quantum confinement also enhances the Coulombic interaction that drives MEG. In addition to single-component nanostructures, multicomponent nanocrystals with selectively arranged individual domains that allow complex functionalities offer new opportunities for photovoltaic research. Such nanoheterostructures allow for further tailoring of the excited-state relaxation dynamics, resulting in additional enhancements of the MEG efficiency25.
Importance of efficiency certification
While nanostructures offer significant potential advantages for both increasing the PCE and reducing manufacturing costs, the technology is not yet mature, and the efficiency of proof-of-principle devices lies well below those of established technologies. Furthermore, it is not always possible to independently verify the reported efficiency of such devices.
The PCE encloses information on the performance of a solar cell in a single number, and thus allows a direct comparison of devices across many technologies. However, photovoltaic research is a highly competitive and fast-moving field, and device characterization can be problematic at the lab scale; thus, there is a need to benchmark the measurements. Researchers can 'certify' their device efficiencies by submitting completed devices to one of several institutions that can provide standardized PCE measurements26. Certified cells must have a well-defined illumination area and account for (or block) collection of photogenerated carriers from outside that area. Efficiency certification is an essential component of the research and development of new photovoltaic technologies that can be used to lend credence to new approaches. A table of certified record efficiencies is published twice a year with updated efficiency values5. In these reports, Martin Green, Keith Emery and co-workers consider cells with active area ≥1 cm2 (for measurements at 1 sun). For exploratory device concepts, researchers generally work with cells with smaller active areas (about 0.1 cm2), which thus are not included in these tables. Small device areas eliminate series resistance, reduce non-uniformity issues, enable more devices per area for statistical purposes, and thus remove issues that can be addressed at later stages of development. While PCE of small-area devices are not included in the tables, certified efficiencies of proof-of-concept cells are still valuable as benchmarks and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) provides a chart that tabulates record efficiencies as a function of time across both established and emerging technologies27.
One issue with emerging photovoltaic technologies made at the lab scale involves the stability of the materials or devices. Devices with poor stability provide a complication for certification purposes, due to different measurement conditions (atmosphere, temperature, humidity, light source), contact probes, transportation, and so on. Thus, the certified results may not necessarily reflect the true potential of a given technology. The stability issues can be explored at later stages of research and development, if the promise of a particular technology warrants such efforts. Thus, even in those cases where certification is not possible, reports of high PCE are still valuable to the research community. Such results should still be reported in the literature, but researchers should refrain from claiming record efficiencies, explain why certification was not possible and verify their measurement practices and equipment against standard solar cells.
Device stability is obviously an important consideration for photovoltaic technologies as the longer the photovoltaic system operates, the lower is the total cost. Many of the same features that make nanostructured solar cells attractive also introduce additional challenges. Nanostructured materials have larger surface area; the surface properties of photovoltaic films and electronic devices in general require attention. For nanostructured devices, improper passivation of internal surfaces can hinder long-term stability. Stability issues are being addressed by chemistry11, 14, or device configuration12. Encapsulation is also a route towards making materials commercially viable, provided that the overall cost and efficiency of the cell satisfy the requirements discussed above.
No consensus exists among the research community on how to properly characterize the stability. Low-maintenance, long-lifetime solar simulators are not readily available, and lifetime tests inherently take a long time to perform. Therefore, some approaches involve accelerated lifetime testing in harsh environments, such as 85 °C at 85% humidity, but that translation to real-world stability may not be the same for all technologies28.
In conclusion, next-generation solar cells must meet stringent requirements in terms of PCE, cost and long-term stability (10–15 years). We believe that nanostructured solar cells have the potential to achieve these objectives.
