 To
most people, the island of Milos is known as the place where the statue of Venus, now
in the Louvre Museum in Paris, was discovered. It is only recently that
tourism has noticed the beautiful beaches of this Cycladic island, its
rocks and clear waters.
Milos is "the
Island of Colors" thanks to its splendid, manifold beauties
of volcanic origin. Milos is the most western island of the Cyclades.
It
has 5.500 inhabitants scattered over 7 small towns. Milos total surface is
151 sq. km. The island is ample, as a very large and beautiful gulf is in
the very middle of it, giving the island a horseshoe shape.
There are
more than 70 beaches, each one with its own characteristic. Milos does
offer an interesting and unforgettable vacation. The months of April
and May are ideal to see the island blooming, to smell its keen
perfumes, and to ride around to see exceptional wild landscapes.
 In September
and October the color of the sea, the beautiful sunsets, and a
gentle breeze give the island a calm atmosphere and allow you a very
restful vacation. The luckier people with boats will reach waters of
blue, azure, emerald, green, red and violet colors contrasting with
white or pink, or red rocks.
At some places along the East- cost of the
island all these colours can be found in one spot. The nearby satellite islands
also have secluded beaches and landscapes of great beauty.
