What to do and see in Milos, South Aegean: The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day

January 25, 2022 Mollie Coke

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.

Milos Mining Museum

Reviewed By 573dk9999 - Iowa City, United States

When the guide says we are going to a mining museum, the expectations start out low. This place was well organized and had interesting and engaging exhibits. The geology of this island is surprisingly diverse leading to it being a major source of minerals from prehistoric times to the present. Particularly heart wrenching is the plight of the island sulfur miners, who eventually worked with no pay in a futile effort to keep the mine going. Hands-on exhibits where you can touch the various minerals such as kaolin are a nice feature.

Kostantakis Cave Winery

Reviewed By eihakj - Oslo, Norway

My boyfriend and I booked a private wine tasting and tour. The Kostantakis family were very pleasant and welcoming. Wounderful and informative tour both in the wine yards and in the cave that lasted for half an hour followed by a great wine tasting where we could sit and chat with the family. They have made a really cool concept of the grandfather's old farm and transformed it into a modern an unique winery. I reccommend this to small groups of 2-6 persons without children.

Archaeological Museum Milos

Reviewed By inquietumc - Lancaster District, United Kingdom

More than 3000 years all collected in two rooms. For a truly comprehensive understanding of the island, you must visit the archaeological museum. It has a replica of the Aphrodite of Milos, the world famous statue taken from Milos and now in the Louvre.
