When you hear about Milos, the famous Venus certainly comes to mind. And not in vain, since the Goddess of beauty and love generously donated her beauty to the island of Milos and made it one of the most fairytale and ""exotic"" islands you will come across - the vision of the Cyclades!
Milos stands out for its enchanting atmosphere, rich history, picturesque fishing villages, amazing food and romantic bays and invites you to explore a timeless Cycladic gem that will steal your breath with its enchanting beauty.
The beaches on this island are emblematic and especially the wonderful Sarakiniko beach, a lunar landscape consisting of volcanic formations of white rocks and crystal clear turquoise waters. Explore its sea caves, dive into its crystal clear waters, enjoy the sun and taste the seductive atmosphere of this beach. Kleftiko is another extremely popular attraction, a beach accessible only by boat. With towering rock formations and emerald waters, this former pirate shelter is now the island's majestic trademark! And these are just two of the 40+ magnificent beaches of Milos that call you to enjoy them!
Beyond the beaches, the hidden diamonds of Milos are the colorful fishing villages. In them you will find small whitewashed houses with colorful shutters, as if they are out of a fairy tale. And of course you will see the so-called ""wires"", which used to host the fishermen's boats, while now, many of them have been transformed into hostels that will offer you an authentic island accommodation experience.
Wander around Plaka, the capital of the island and enjoy your walks in its picturesque narrow streets, full of white houses, colored with blooming bougainvilleas. Be enchanted by the well-known sunsets and bathe with the golden-blonde touches of the sun when it ""kisses"" the sea. Milos is waiting for you, ready to give you the most romantic and relaxing vacation!
In antiquity, Milos flourished due to its mineral wealth. It was inhabited from the Neolithic period (7000 BC) and soon flourished from its neighboring islands thanks to the obsidian stone, a black volcanic material used in the weapons and tools of Milos. During the Bronze Age (2800-1100 BC), Milos became the centre of the Cycladic civilization. After the descent of the Greek tribes, the Dorians settled in Milos around 1000 BC. Very little is known about Milos before the 5th century BC, however, residents are those who denied to surrender "land and water" to the Persians and fought alongside the other Greeks in the battles of Salamis and Plataea. They and their city were destroyed in 415 BC by the Athenians when they tried to maintain their neutrality in the Peloponnesian war. In the following centuries, Milos followed the fate of the other Cyclades and until 311 BC it belonged to Macedonia and then to Egypt. Freedom and security at sea, thanks to the powerful fleet of the Ptolemies, provided an opportunity for new economic development of the island, which also contributed to the flourishing of the arts. The famous statue of Aphrodite and the impressive Neptune were representative examples of this acne. During Roman times, Milos was decorated with other works, while it also exhibited Christianity, with irrefutable testimony that of the Catacombs. In Byzantine times the most important event was definitely the destruction of the ancient city of Klima. Finally, during the Venetian occupation, the Turkish occupation and the German occupation, the struggles of Milos for their freedom were continuous and relentless.
It is the most impressive beach in Milos and in Greece. It is considered the trademark of the island! Sarakiniko has a unique geological profile that makes it one of the most impressive natural sites you will visit in Greece! It is the most photographed part of Milos and is famous for its enchanting lunar landscape - long, white and smooth rocks with horizontal layers create unique shapes around the sea. The erosion caused by the waves created small and large cavities everywhere over time. In Sarakiniko there are no signs of vegetation and there is a bright white color, creating the perfect contrast with the blue and turquoise waters that surround it. Sarakiniko was named after the Saracen pirates, who allegedly used the caves and tunnels as a hiding place for themselves and their treasures.
Kleftiko is an impressive spot with rock formations that is accessible only from the sea, with many excursion boats going around the island of Milos and passing through it. At first glance, the place will look familiar as you will have definitely seen it in photographs in most travel guides for Greece. Impressive rocks spring from the sea, forming natural caves and other rare geological formations, with Kleftiko also known as "Marine Meteora". Legend has it that one of the caves in Kleftiko was a pirate sanctuary and it is the place where they had hidden their vault, but it was never recovered.
One of the only historical monuments of Milos are the island's Catacombs. It is a huge underground burial site, with deep dark passages. It is believed that 7000-8000 Christians were buried here and is known as the 3rd most important religious burial site after the Catacombs of Rome and the Holy Land. The Catacombs of Milos are located next to the Ancient Theatre, 200 meters away, and close to the city of Tripiti. The area is known for the caves that have been cut into a volcanic rock and have been used as burial chambers. The Ancient Theatre of Milos dates back to the 3rd century BC and is one of the oldest historical sites of the island. The series of the marble theatre have been carefully preserved, with the theatre still being used today for musical and theatrical performances and able to accommodate 700 people.
Watermelon pie is a sweet summer speciality of Milos, consisting of watermelon flesh, sugar, local thyme honey, flour, cinnamon and olive oil. This dish prevailed as a traditional dish of Milos, since on the island you will find many watermelons, which even have a particularly fruity and "full" of taste. The recipe is very simple: all the ingredients are mixed together and the watermelon mixture is poured into a baking tray, smoothed out in the form of a flat pie and sprinkled with plenty of white sesame seeds before baking. The pie has to be baked until it gets a nice color and crispy crust up and down, but it remains fluffy, like pudding in the middle.
Dragée (koufeto inGreek) is a traditional Greek spoon sweet from the island of Milos. It is made by simmering pieces of local sweet, white pumpkin in a mixture of water, sugar and local thyme honey, which is then mixed with white almonds and lemon juice. The dessert is stored in glass jars and sometimes flavored with cinnamon sticks. In Milos, this sweet specialty is usually associated with weddings and engagements, which is why it prevailed to be the "wedding dessert". The dragée is usually enjoyed alone, accompanied by a glass of cold water on the side to balance the sweetness. It is also often served with ice cream or yogurt.
Pitarakia is a specialty of Milos, consisting of small crescent doughs filled with cheese. The dough is usually made with flour, olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice, salt and lukewarm water, while the filling can be as simple as crushed local cheese, such as manouri cheese, mixed with freshly ground pepper. Other variations of the filling include a mixture of local mizithra cheese, eggs, mint and salt or a combination of chopped red onions with dry cheese. In their sweet version, the pies consist of mizithra, sugar, eggs and cinnamon, and are fried in hot oil until they get a golden color and a crispy texture.
