Experience the best of Milos
Milos is a volcanic Cycladic island of white cliffs, sea caves and fishing hamlets, where the Venus de Milo was found in 1820.

Milos was shaped by volcanoes, and its coast is a patchwork of white, yellow and rust-coloured rock. Plaka, the hilltop capital, is a whitewashed village of winding lanes below a medieval kastro, and Adamas is the main port. A farmer found the Venus de Milo in 1820, and the statue now stands in the Louvre. Obsidian from the island was traded around the Aegean in prehistory.
Sarakiniko is a shoreline of smooth white volcanic rock that looks like the surface of the moon, and Kleftiko, a cluster of sea arches and caves that pirates once used, is reached by boat. Klima and Mandrakia are fishing hamlets where the old boat garages are painted in bright colours. Milos also has early Christian catacombs, an ancient theatre, and ferries from Pollonia to the small neighbouring island of Kimolos.
Fish is grilled straight from the boats, octopus hangs drying in the sun, and pitarakia, small cheese pies, appear at breakfast with local honey. The summer meltemi wind blows hard and keeps the heat bearable, and the sea stays warm into October.
