Overview

This breathtaking landscape was the birthplace of one of the world’s most renowned sculptures, Venus de Milo, currently on display at the Louvre in Paris.

This former Spartan colony is rich in minerals and natural wonders. Its natural port of Adamas offers one of the region’s safest harbors. Ancient mineral baths in Adamas, called Ta Loutra tou Lakkou (Baths of the Pit), are very popular.

The island’s capital city of Plaka, home to a Frankish castle, ancient acropolis, archaeology and folk art museums, and an ancient theatre, which serves as the site of the Milos Festival each summer, sits high atop a hill. Christian Catacombs lie nearby in the village of Tripiti, close to the site where the 4th century statue of Aphrodite was uncovered in 1820. And remnants of one of the region’s most crucial settlements, spanning nearly two thousand years from 3300-1100 BC, can be viewed at Filakopi. Wherever you roam on this stunning island paradise, you’ll feel the healing waters, spectacular scenery and life-affirming sunshine seep into your soul.
