Milos: The Island of Colors
Famous worldwide as the discovery site of the Venus de Milo, this volcanic island is a geological marvel. With over 70 beaches featuring waters of every shade of blue and rock formations in white, red, and yellow, Milos is arguably the most photogenic island in the Aegean.
Must-See Landmarks
A lunar landscape on earth. Smooth, bone-white volcanic rocks eroded by time and sea contrast with the deep blue waters. It is a unique swimming experience.
Accessible only by boat, this old pirate hideout features impressive sea caves and arches. A sailing trip here is the highlight of any Milos vacation.
Beaches & Villages
Beyond Sarakiniko, explore Firiplaka with its red cliffs and Tsigrado (accessible by a rope ladder!). Don't miss the colorful fishing village of Klima with its "syrmata" (boat garages) carved into the rock, and the sunset from Plaka.
History
Milos has a rich history. Visit the Catacombs (the second most important after Rome), the ancient Roman Theater, and the mining museum which showcases the island's mineral wealth.
