Milos, Volcanic island in Cyclades, Greece
The Aegean island spans across 151 square kilometers with more than 70 beaches featuring white cliffs and crystal waters along its coastline.
Ancient miners extracted obsidian from Milos quarries during the Neolithic period, establishing the island as a major Mediterranean trading center.
The Venus de Milo statue, discovered in 1820, originated from this island and now stands at the Louvre Museum in Paris.
Visitors can reach Milos through daily flights from Athens or regular ferry services departing from Piraeus port throughout the year.
The Sarakiniko beach presents natural formations of white volcanic rocks that create landscape patterns resembling the surface of the moon.
