Aphrodite of Milos

Found in the southwest part of the Cyclades, this island has a handful of singular natural landscapes contributed by volcanic activity; rock formations, curious soil colours and numerous beaches. Besides having countless unique sights to see around the island, it also is the homeland of the renowned marble statue of Venus of Milo seen today in the Louvre Museum.

Milos’ volcanic past is reflected on the large number of hot springs, caves and geological formations found around the island such as Kanavas, Alykis, Provatas, Pikropigis springs, Papafragas and Sikia Caves, and Kleftiko Cove. The island also has numerous significant archaeological sites such as the early christian catacombs, the Bronze Age settlement of Phylakopi, and interesting museums namely the Mining Museum showcasing Milos’ 11.000 years old mineral history.

In my opinion the most exiting island in Cyclades but there are more to come ;)Read more
