Located in the Cyclades, southeast of mainland Greece, Milos is the most exotic island in the Aegean Sea. With white rock formations, emerald green waters, and caves eroded by the sea, it is said to have once been a hideout of Middle Ages pirates. The island was formed by volcanic activity, and evidence of this can be seen in its geological formations, including colorful cliffs and hot springs.
It is also the island where Venus de Milo, the statue of the ancient Greek goddess Aphrodite, was rediscovered in 1820. Milos offers plenty of beaches that combine pristine white rocks with aquamarine colors. Papafragas, Sarakiniko, Firopotamos, Paliochori and Aghia Kiriaki, Probates and Firiplaka, Tsigrado are the main ones. You can also walk around charming narrow streets of the beautiful villages that stand out with traditional Greek architecture, a beautiful patchwork of blue and white, decorated with pink or white flowers. Adamas, Klima, Mandrake, Plaza, and Pollonia have many restaurants, small shops, ruins, and hills to enjoy the dreamy sunset.
Milos, with its stunning beaches and vibrant colors, captures the essence of poetic nature.
Lunar-like landscapes adorn the rocky coastline of Milos. Caves and mirroring effects will enchant visitors. The majority of the caves along the coastline of Milos can only be approached from the sea.

Sykia, Kleftiko, Papafragas, and Sarakinik caves also have an impressive geological background.
