As the ship approaches the port in Milos, you will be faced with a quite spectacular view. Its strange horseshoe shape, emerging out of the blue waters of the Aegean combined with the great Greek sun, creates a majestic and glorious spectacle.

You will be filled with the desire to embrace it... what we can guarantee is that you will love it! Milos is one of the most seductive and hospitable of the Cyclades islands. It is 86 nautical miles from the Pireaus port and it has an area of 151 sq. km.
 
Its volcanos were active during the last 3,000,000 (million) years, but today they are considered to be inactive. During your stay in Milos, we propose that you visit the archaeological museum in Plaka, the catacombs and the ancient theater in Tripiti, the extraordinary cave of Pafragas and the archaeological site in Apollonia as well as the wonderful historic temples, which are spread in nearly all the settlements (villages).

Milos has many, many little bays - and if you rent a moped you can find a small beach of your own. This is very romantic, and perfect for honeymooners and people that like their peace and quiet.

One of the most famous sculptures of the ancient world, Venus de Milo (Aphrodite of Milos) was found here. A copy can be seen in the archaeo-logical museum, while the original is at Louvren in Paris. It was given to the French during the Turkish rule, so that the oppressors wouldn't steal it, but now the Greeks would of course like it back. Everywhere on the island you'll see large or small copies of this work of art.

In Plaka, Milos' capital, there are quite a few things to see. You can visit the archaeological museum where various artifacts from the excavations on the island are displayed, as well as a copy of Aphrodite of Milos. There is also a folklore museum, where you can see how the people of Milos used to live and dress.

The church dedicated to the Virgin Mary has many icons and here you will also get a wonderful view. The Venetian Kastro is also worth a visit. Just above Klima there is a big archaeological excavation site, and here you will see many ancient ruins, as well as the spot where Aphrodite of Milos was found. There are over 70 beaches and bays on Milos, so pick your choice. There are all kinds of beaches: sandy, rocky, pebble beaches or cliffs. It is hard to recommend any, but worth mentioning is the sandy beach Tsigrado, the Sarakinio beach with its many caves and Voudia which has warm wells.
