Milos Island
As the ship approaches the port in Milos, you will be faced with a quite
spectacular view. Its strange horseshoe shape, emerging out of the blue waters
of the Aegean combined with the great Greek sun, creates a majestic and glorious
spectacle.
You will be filled with the desire to embrace it...what we can guarantee is
that you will love it! Milos is one of the most seductive and hospitable of the
Cyclades islands. It is 86 nautical miles from the Pireaus port and it has an
area of 151 sq. km.
This amazing island has approximately 5,000 inhabitants, who live in a total
of eight settlements. They are Plaka, Plakes, Triovassalo, Pera Triovassalo,
Apollonia or Pollonia, Zefiria, Tripiti and Adamada. Milos is noted for its
volcanic ground, as well as for its rich in minerals subsoil.
Its volcanos were active during the last 3,000,000 (million) years, but
today they are considered to be inactive. During your stay in Milos, we propose
that you visit the archaeological museum in Plaka, the catacombs and the ancient
theater in Tripiti, the extraordinary cave of Pafragas and the archaeological
site in Apollonia as well as the wonderful historic temples, which are spread
in nearly all the settlements (villages).
Milos is waiting for you ...it is worth the visit!
