Archaeological and cultural tour of Milos

Overview

After being picked up from your accommodation, your tour will begin from the Ancient Theatre of Milos, located on the east side of the Gulf of Milos ─ between the modern villages of Tripiti and Klima ─ looking down on the largest natural port of the Mediterranean. Later, you pass by the area where the Venus of Milos was discovered you'll get to visit the Catacombs of Milos, the second most remarkable Prechristianic monument worldwide thanks to which Milos was proclaimed a Holy Island in 2014 and a World Pilgrimage Centre. Next, you'll be taken to the traditional village of Kilma with its colorful “syrmata”, typical houses built right next to the sea where fishermen used to live. You'll then visit the Folklore and Archeology Museum in the capital of the island, Plaka; here you'll learn about the history of the island and its traditional life and you'll also have some time to walk around the narrow streets of the village and discover its little shops. At Marmara, the yard of the Panagia Korfiatissa church, you'll enjoy the majestic view of the island. You'll then conclude your tour with a short visit to Mandrakia, a scenic fisherman’s village with two little docks.
