MILOS, is the most southerly island in the Western Cyclades. It is notable for its volcanic soil and for the rich deposits of minerals that lie beneath.

The civilization of Milos is considered to be as ancient as that of Crete, and spans a period of at least 5.000 years.

Adamas, one of the safest natural harbours in the Aegean, is a particularly charming spot, with white-washed houses, cobbled alleys, balconies crammed with flower-pots.

Milos or Plaka, capital of the island today stands on a hillside overlooking the sea at the foot of the castle. It is a most attractive town, with architecture in the characteristic Cycladic style.

The most notable churches are those of 'Korfiotissa', 'Thalassistra' and 'Messa Panagia'.

At the north-eastern extremity of Milos is the modern resort of Polonia or Apolonia. Close by is Phylakope, the most important centre of population in Minoan times.

Next to the archaeological site is the Papafranga cave. The sea-cave called Kleftiko is at the south end of the island.

Milos has excellent beaches at Hivadolimni, Polonia, Adamas, Emborio, Provatas, Paleohori and Agia Kiriaki..
