Its volcanos were active during the last 3,000,000 (million)
years, but today they are considered to be inactive. During
your stay in Milos, we propose that you visit the archaeological
museum in Plaka, the catacombs and the ancient theater
in Tripiti, the extraordinary cave of Pafragas and the
archaeological site in Apollonia as well as the wonderful
historic temples, which are spread in nearly all the settlements.Its
fame spread throughout the civilized world thanks to the
master piece of the Venus of Milos, a statue found buried
on the island in the 19th century, which now exists in
the Louvres Museum in Paris. Adamas is one of the safest harbors with white washed
houses, cobbled alleys, balconies crammed with flower pots
and fragrant tamarisks which have been extolled by the
poets.
