This excursion will reveal all the earthly treasures of the island and help the visitor understand Milos’s uniqueness. It looks at the island’s geographical history, taking the group to breathtaking locations to witness the island’s beauty with their own eyes and cameras.
Milos Island has a duality in its nature. Its tranquillity, dreamy landscapes, and slow-paced life contrast with the dramatic volcanic eruptions and sharp rock formations that have been etched with vivid red and yellow colours. Its dry landscape contradicts the liveliness of the luminescent blues of the sea and the green bushy vegetation. Even the history of the island is double-sided. Its bay has been a prosperous hideout for centuries. Pirates, sailors, and merchants who eventually misused the island for profit bowed to its nurturing earthly energy. We will start our adventure from the busy port of Adamas. Next, we will approach the Volcano Crater, which has been inactive for 90,000 years. Our route continues to the stunning Aggeria Mine, one of Europe’s largest and deepest mines of Bentonite. The tour will continue to Papafragas, home to the ancient Bronze Age settlement, and the commercial town of Phylakopi, often referred to as “The Ancient City of Obsidian.”
The common belief is that a giant tidal wave (tsunami) was behind the significant damage caused at Phylakopi. As a result, the area is home to huge caves and cliffs that drop off into the crystal-clear sea below, creating a volcanic swimming pool. It is an outstanding location for photographs.
Next stop: Sarakiniko. Prepare to feel like you’ve stepped onto another planet. The smooth, white volcanic rock formations against the turquoise sea create a setting reminiscent of the moon. Wander the alien-like terrain, feel the texture of ancient volcanic stone, and soak in the surreal scenery. This is Milos at its most magical.
