Explore Milos

Milos island is mostly known as the place where the inhabitants discovered the famous statue of Venus, or Aphrodite, now in the Louvre Museum in Paris. It is only recently that tourism has noticed the beautiful beaches of this Cycladic Island, its rocks, its clear waters and landscapes.

Milos Island is “the Island of Colors” thanks to its splendid, manifold beauties of volcanic origin.

Milos is the most Western island of the Cyclades (Cyclades – islands forming a circle), in Greece. It has about 6,000 inhabitants scattered over seven small towns (like Adamas, Plaka and Tripitì). The island is ample, due to the very large and beautiful gulf which is in the very middle of it and which gives the island a horseshoe shape. Milos surface is 151 km2 with a coastline of 120 km.
