| ARCHAEOLOGICAL
MUSEUM |
 |
From Neolithic Obsidian era to Roman period, from the “lady
of Phylakopi” to the findings
of the great art of Klima, a small but important museum is nested in a beautiful
neo-classical building at the area of Plaka.
|
| |
| FOLK
MUSEUM |
 |
Ground floor are representations of the daily life on Milos
from the 16th century onwards. Museum is divided in rooms (kitchen, bedroom,
cellar etc), where dolls are wearing traditional clothes. Upper floor houses
the historical section of the museum (documents, maps, books). |
| CATACOMBS |
 |
An early Christian community cemetery continuing in use
to the end of the 5th century. It consists of a complex of three catacombs.
Passages join the three catacombs together.
Niche-like graves (arcosolia) are cut into the side walls of the passageways;
some of these were family graves. They are decorated with plant patterns
and symbolic representations.

| MINING
MUSEUM |
 |
“Yesterday & Today” - Illuminated panels show us mining
today; tools and equipment are exhibited from the mines and laboratories
of the past. There are display cabinets with the most industrially significant
minerals of Milos today. Displays of fossils, obsidian, bauxite, alumina,
aluminum, etc. A fully equipped video room tells us the chronicle of mining
on the island |
| CHURCHES
- ECCLESIASTICAL MUSEUM |
|
Aghia Triada - The only other place in which one can see
this unusual style of architecture is in Arcadia in the Peloponnese. Beautiful
icons of Emmanuel Skordilis decorate this 16th century church, which today
is an Ecclesiastical museum. - “Panagia tou Kipou” with the old baptistery,
“Aghios Ioannis Siderianos” known for his miracles and other churches, worth
a visit. |
| ROMAN
THEATRE |
|
Seven tiers of the auditorium & six flights of steps
remain in existence of this Roman marble theatre, not far from the place
where Venus of Milos was found, which testifies to the high cultural level
of the Milians of that time. |
| ABANDONED MINES |
 |
The old Sulphur mines in eastern Milos and Vani iron mines
in western Milos are something more than monuments of industrial archaeology
of the past century. They are isolated places with a unique atmosphere,
placed near the sea, resting their ruins peacefully, surrounded by colorful
rock formations. |
| HOT SPRINGS |
 |
There are several hot spots : Hot steaming from the area
of the volcano in Aghia Kyriaki.
Hot sand and waters in Paleochori beach with a distinct sulphur smell. Hot
bubbles coming from the bottom of the sea, very close to the shore of Kanava,
outside the main power station of the island.
|
| FESTIVALS & TRADITION |
 |
There are many local traditional feasts on the island mostly
with a religious character. Well known on Eastern Sunday is the burning
of a straw doll called Judas and a dynamites show at Triovassalos called
“Baroutopolemos”; During summer several “Panighiria” take place and modern
Greek music events with famous musicians. |
| ISLAND ROUNDTRIP |
 |
Milos island Boat trip is the best sea excursion in Greece
and maybe one of the best in the Mediterranean. The island complex of Milos
- Kimolos - Polyegos demonstrates a rich palette of colors, clear waters
and strange rock formations which give this excursion a unique flavor. |
