Milos

Milos is an island in the Cyclades, shaped by its volcanic past to offer its visitors stunning beaches and exotic beauty unlike any other island in Greece. For many, Milos is the most exotic island in the Aegean Sea because of its extraordinary colors and landscapes and is, without a doubt, one of the most impressive of the Cyclades. Volcanic rocks paint the beaches red, pink and orange. The highlights of Milos seem endless. Sarakiniko and Kleptico, with their white rock formations, emerald green waters and sea-eroded caves, are steeped in stories of pirates. But they are rivaled by early Christian catacombs, an array of beaches and the colorful settlements of Kalima, Amborios and Mandrakia, with their distinctive buildings cut into the cliffs and sunsets of Plaka. And let’s not forget that this is where the Venus de Milo was discovered (the exquisite life-size marble statue believed to be the goddess Aphrodite, now housed in the Louvre). All these shout with one voice: among all the amazing islands of Greece, Milos is unique
