Milos
Milos
Milos is a volcanic island in the Aegean Sea, part of the Cyclades group in Greece. It's famous for its incredible moon-like landscapes and more than 70 beaches with crystal clear waters in all kinds of colors - white, pink, and red sands surrounded by turquoise waters.
The island is where the famous Venus de Milo statue was discovered in 1820, which now sits in the Louvre Museum in Paris. This gives you an idea of the rich history that runs through Milos - with ancient catacombs dating back to the 1st century and remnants of mining operations that have been active since prehistoric times.
The main town, Plaka, sits on a hill with narrow streets perfect for exploring. Nearby, Klima is a traditional fishing village with colorful boat houses (syrmata) built into the rocks right at the water's edge. These unique structures serve as homes on the top floor and boat storage below.
The local cuisine focuses on fresh seafood and traditional Greek dishes, often with a twist unique to the island. And unlike some of its more famous neighbors like Santorini or Mykonos, Milos offers an authentic Greek experience without massive crowds, making it a perfect spot for travelers looking to experience the beauty of the Cyclades in a more relaxed atmosphere.
