Things to do in Milos, South Aegean: The Best Sights & Landmarks
Known as the "Island of Colors" thanks to its jewel-colored waters and building painted in vivid primary tones, the horseshoe-shaped island of Milos floats serenely in the Aegean Sea. It was here that the world-famous Venus de Milo statue was discovered. Though she now holds court at the Louvre, Milos has other beauties to admire. There are dozens of beaches, all different colors and all different combinations of sand, stone and shell. Explore the ancient theater, catacombs and windmills in Tripiti village, then cap off your day with a cinematic sunset.

In October, 2019, we visited Adamas, Milos, Greece, where we hiked up to see this church several times. The beautiful bell tower, and handsome church were closed the first two times we visited. Happily on our third visit we were fortunate to be able to walk through the interior as it was Saturday and several very kind women were decorating the church with flowers. The interior is richly decorated with frescoes, icons, and flowers. If you can figure out how to get in, it is well worth the visit.

The island of Milos is famous for its mining and for its beaches. A place to best experience both at the same time is the wonderful little beach at Paliorema (familiar Greek for: bad creek). There used to be a sulphur mine, whcih got started end of the 19th century and petered out in the 1960's. To get here is easiest by sea. From the landside one has to drive on dirt roads through an area with stiil active mines and fast driving lorries. Taxi drivers on Milos will usually not come to this part. The last stretch is steep, with many bends and narrow, so only recommended for a 4x4, and even then one wouldn't want to encounter a vehicle coming from the opposite direction. When coming here with friends we usually left the vehicles on top and walked down and up again. Water and food has to be brought along, if one wants to spend some time there. When exploring the area, some caution is still recommended, as it would be in any old mining area with rusting items, old holes, falling apart walls and so on.
