"Milos" a Milos Travel Page by JuliaK

Milos is the southwesternmost island of the Cyclades, halfway between Piraeus and Crete. It is the fifth largest Cycladic island and a permanent population of 3.222. The bay of Milos is one of the largest natural harbors of the Mediterannean.

Milos is a volcanic island that emerged between 2.5 million and 500 thousand years ago. The result of a volcanic explosion, the island hosts a number of mineral springs and mining pits.

The south coast is laced with all kinds of sea caves and coves, that, according to legend, were used as hiding places by pirates in the middle ages. The island also boasts of impressive catacombs that were dug out in Klema in the early Christian era and are considered among the world's best.
