This island located halfway between Athens and Crete and close to Santorini, Sifnos and Folegandros is famous for its famous Venus, exhibited at the Louvre Museum in Paris. Milos offers impressive landscapes due to its volcanic nature and thanks to the diversity of its rocks. The cliffs of Milos decline all kinds of colors (red, orange, white…) and the fifty beaches of the island are located on crystal clear waters.
Adamas is the port of arrival of Milos. This village of about 1000 inhabitants is today a seaside resort equipped. There are many restaurants and bars on the seafront. The village of Plaka, with cobbled alleys, leans against a hill with a pleasant view of the Aegean Sea. In summer, Plaka is quite touristy. There is a church, Korfiatissa (found on the postcards of the island) and two museums (Archaeological Museum and Folk Art Museum). The village of Plaka is an example of Cycladic architecture with its narrow and white streets and flowered balconies. At the top of the hill lies the Kastro which gives a magnificent view of the sea and the neighboring islands. Klima is a delightful colorful fishing village, located near Tripiti.
The beauty of Klima is due to its syrmata, small fisherman’s houses with two or three levels whose ground floor is occupied by boat garages that are carved in the rocks and have wooden doors in bright colors. Pollonia is a resort built around a large bay lined with a long sandy beach. It is also the second port of the island after the port of Adamantas. If the place itself is lacking charm because of the villas to be rented planted here and there, the very rocky coves that border it offer a nice view and a relaxing atmosphere. To the left of Pollonia is the chapel of Saint Nikolas and Pelekuda.
According to tradition, the couple sitting on the small rock in the shape of a chair there will be together forever. On the way to Pollonia you will find the ruins of the ancient city of Fylakopi as well as the beaches of Mytakas, Agios Konstantinos, Papafragas and Kapros and leaving the village to the south, you will reach Theioryheia.
