The 10 Best Things to do in Milos, South Aegean
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.

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.

Definitely the place to be when you are in Milos. I would recommend going early in the morning if you want it to be quiet. The place is popular so it will have tourists that are taking photos, especially after 10:30 AM. Take a camera with you as you'll find many spots where you can take amazing pictures. Close to the beach you can find a food truck with beverages in case you forget to take water with you.

This was one of the best beaches in milos . It's very difficult and pretty dangerous to climb down the mini cliff where there is a rope and a ladder. You better visit fyriplaka Beach and rent a cayak (only 10 euros). This way you can also visit the beaches before tsigrado. Also worth visiting for its caves where you can take beautiful photos.

For us this was the best beach of the island as the sand is soft, the water is crystal clear and you can rent a set of long chairs and umbrella for 15€ as the wind would blow away your own parasol.
7. Old Sulfur Mines

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.

I loved this small and beautiful beach! The water is just amazing, super transparent it looks like a pool. Nice for swimming and snorkeling. If you forget your water there is a small food truck selling drinks and Greek salads ;)

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.
