Almost all of the island’s wild, tough-to-access west falls under the protection of the EU’s Natura 2000 network.

The best way to explore it is by four-wheel-drive on an insightful full-day tour led by a knowledgeable local guide. Visit an inactive volcano and learn about its morphology, spot migratory birds at the Achivadolimni wetlands and trek through rust-red caves at an abandoned manganese mine in Cape Vani, before cooling off at sandy, little-trodden Agathia beach.

1. A unique opportunity to explore the largest dirt road network in the Cyclades, an unspoiled land!
2. Western Milos alone is the same size as Santorini, a protected area, part of the Natura 2000 environmental program. Nature lovers are welcome to learn the area's secrets, the challenges it faces, and the dangers it hides!
3. Swim at Agathia, a hidden gem, a fabulous remote Beach away from the crowds

• Finally, an excursion has been designed that takes place right in the heart of the Natural Reserve in western Milos. Under protection from the Natura 2000 Environmental Program, the area is a unique and untouched Cycladic eco-system with dramatic landscapes rich in fauna and flora. The excursion is a journey through time, discovering scenic volcanic spots, forsaken chapels, abandoned 19th-century mines, refreshing thermal hot springs, and swimming in remote beaches with endless coastline and crystal-clear waters. The tour includes a lunch break in a scenic area on the waterfront.
