Why Milos is the ideal resort to spend your holidays
Milos is the island of love, pirates, Aphrodite with its impressive turquoise waters, caves, volcanoes, marvelous sunsets and peculiar geological formations. Yet Milos is popular because of the statue of Milos Aphrodite, which can be seen today at the Louvre in Paris.
The island’s port is called Adamas, located approximately 5km away from the airport, it is the vibrant cultural center of Milos and the biggest port on the island.
One of the most exquisite attractions on the island is the mining museum, where its establishment aims to honor and promote the mining history of Milos and to display the island's mineral wealth.
Undoubtedly, the most significant attraction are the catacombs in the vicinity of Tripiti village. They are considered to be the most important early Christian shrine of the period. The catacombs are in fact ancient volcanic caves in which believers hid from the Gentiles in ancient times. There were also preserved rock paintings left by the first local Christians.
The islands beaches look like a tiny paradise, its main beach is Sarakiniko with its white canyons and labyrinths. Another great option would be to visit Fyriplaka a large beach cut in half by a large rock detached from the mountain. Tsigrado is one of the most fascinating beaches with fine white sand, located on the south side of Milos between the beaches of Fyriplaka and Gerakas.
Do not miss the chance of visiting Achivadolimni beach with the crystal-clear waters, for those who prefer living in the countryside there is an outstanding campsite, right above the beach. Last but not least do yourself a favor and visit Provatas, or Paliochori beach and be prepared to witness for some outstanding volcanic artistry.
After all, travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer, either by living an adventure or by making new memories.
