Mlilos Island, Greece

of this island everything natural is - beaches and coves, cliffs and crags. The north-eastern part is a plain, while the south-west is mountainous

Kleftiko is that very bay where you can play pirates-just a joke, of course, where pirates once hid. Here, all sightseeing boats make stops. You can swim right here, entering the many sea grottos and through-and-through caves.

Sarakiniko is the famous Milos bay formed 2-3 million years ago. It’s astonishing-you can almost feel like you’re on the moon, and the snow-white cliffs will amaze you with their structure: bubbles of hardened pumice. There is no vegetation in Sarakiniko, but the stark whiteness of the rocks creates a one-of-a-kind contrast with the turquoise sea. This is the perfect place for quiet walks, reconnecting with nature, and relaxing in complete serenity.

Tsigrado Beach is a hard-to-reach sandy beach. What makes it special is that you can get there only by boat or by using rope ladders lowered into a crevice in the cliff-so it’s usually not crowded and is ideal for private swimming.

Firiplaka enchants with its huge multicolored rocks and crystal-clear turquoise water.

Agia Kyriaki on the south side of Milos feels more like a jewelry shop than just a beach. White pebbles and clear water are considered an excellent spot for water sports.

Sirmata are fishermen’s shacks-along the cliffs, they cling to the shore like tiny white crabs, and two-story houses are scattered around. The ground floor is exclusively for boats and garage supplies, while the top room is the fisherman’s living space. Usually, the gates and windows are painted in the same colors as the boat. Sirmata have never been considered proper homes, and today they are used as summer residences.
There are many such villages along the coastline-among the most well-known are Firopotamos, Klima, and Mandrakia.

Church of the Holy Trinity
The old church preserved to this day is located in the village of Adamas. Unique architecture, rare exhibits of historical value, and a collection of precious archaeological items. All of this attracts not only tourists, but also locals.

Tripiti Village became famous for its sculpture-the Venus of Milo. The farmer Georgios Kendrotas found half of the marble statue on April 8, 1820, in a cave at the corner of his field. The other half was found by a French officer. Both parts of the sculpture were purchased and presented on March 1, 1821 to King Louis XVIII. A copy remained on the island, but the Venus herself moved to live and adorn the Louvre. In the village, you can buy many small and large replicas of Aphrodite.

Christian catacombs are located in the village of Tripiti in the area around the ancient city. In those distant times, people had to hide from persecution by pagans, and only in the mid-19th century were the burials discovered and made public. Archaeologists determined that the catacombs were carved out of volcanic tuff as early as the first century AD. Inside, there are three halls connected by continuous circular corridors, forming a sort of labyrinth. Graves are found both in the walls and in the floor. Of special interest to historians is the sarcophagus located in the central chamber. It is believed to be the burial site of one of the first Christian martyrs. There is a theory that the sarcophagus may have been used as an altar during worship services.
