Answer 2

Milos was the destination of the first known travel in the world in the open sea. Bold navigators 8000 years BC covered a distance of almost 100 NM and they reached Milos , where they discovered and took with them, a hard volcanic rock, called opsidianos.

The rich in minerals volcanic ground and the occupation with the excavation, the treatment and also the sale of these minerals, constituted the first source of wealth for the island and the residents until today.

Many small and big sandy beaches with many colours, marine caves and geomorphological

forms of volcanic inspiration are responsible for the explosion of tourism in Milos.

The history, the legends and the tradition are met with the extraordinary beauty of the island

and they compose an ideal destination of relaxation and pleasure,

able to satisfy even the most difficult taste.

   Restaurants are almost anywhere on the island and several of them are open the year around, being attended by local people.

Some of the restaurants specialize in fish, or meat or local plates, and are worth a visit.

All restaurants in Adamas are fairly good. In Plaka you find all types, during the summer, but very good are those in Tripitì and Triovassalos.  

Prices are generally very convenient everywhere, with an average price (year 2006) of 15/20 Euro for a full but normal meal. Eating fish: from 40 to 60 Euro per kilo! Milos has many local plates: from fresh fish to very good pork meat, potatoes, eggplants, zucchini, "skordalià", the delicate garlic sauce, cabbage, "pitarakia", etc..

Also very good are cheeses made from goat milk. Local products, including the special thyme honey, can be purchased in many shops in Adamas, Plaka and Pollonia.

Wines come from all over Greece and they are normally from known producers, and in 1999 Milos started to produce a good local wine. As to shops, you find everything you might need for your vacations: supermarkets, pastry shops (taste the bread!), jewellery stores and ceramic shops. One bookstore  in Adamas has foreign papers and books.

There are discos and music cafes.

On the majority of beaches (with the exception of  July and August), there are no bars, no restaurants, and no stereos!

In Paleohori, there are three restaurants and the beach is served with a bus. In summertime, there is a restaurant in Mandrakia, restaurants also in Provatas and Kipos.

BEACHES



If the volcanic geological forms of Milos are interesting, the variety and colors of its beaches are impressive: they may be white, or black, with sand, small stones or ground shells. Their waters are always clear and may be emerald, green, pale blue or deep blue.

Small beaches have been created by the continuous work of the sea on the rocks: see Sarakiniko, Aghios Constantinos, and Papafragas.

Most of the beaches can be reached by well paved roads, others, like Kleftiko, can be reached only from the sea. The coast has colours and forms of unique beauty, and should be seen by boat.

Only during July and August some beaches (Firiplaka, Ag. Kiriakì,Firopotamos,  Sarakiniko) have chairs and/or bars. Paliohori, instead, has restaurants, umbrellas and chairs.

Hereunder we list the beaches you "must" see:

In the North:

Firopotamos: a small nice bay with fishermen houses.

Mandrakia: a small jewel of small houses with truthful dwellings for fishing boats

Sarakiniko: a moon-like, incredibly white rocky coast with a small bay

Ag. Konstantinos: another shelter for boats through rocky passages.

Papafragas: the sea enters the tiny sandy beach between high, rocky walls.

Pollonia: a nice sandy beach with trees.

In the South:

Paliochori: 10 km. from Adamas, perhaps the most interesting beach, with small stones. Hot spots from thermal water.

Haghia Kiriakì: Long beach, sand and shell detritus

Tzigrado: made of perlite, snow-like slope of sand entering a blue sea.

Firiplaka: by Tsigrado, ample sandy beach with coloured rocks.

Provatas: fine reddish sandy beach.

Gerontas: small beach of black sand, arches and grottos.

Others: Beaches and places within the gulf: Papakikinò, Hivadolimni, Klima, Fourkovounni, Agia Marina and Embourio.  A must is also the beach of Plathiena, NW of the island. West of the island: Triades, Agios Joannis.

East of the island: Paliorema, Kastana......etc.etc......



TOWNS





The island of Milos has seven towns: Adamas, Triovassalos, Pera Triovassalos, Tripiti, Plakes, Plaka, and Pollonia. We describe the major ones. However also Tripiti, Triovassalos, and small villages like Mandrakia and Klima are a "must" to visit.:  

Adamas. Its name might come from "diamond". It is situated on the gulf and all ferryboats arrive to its secure harbour. Adamas is the "downtown" place of the island of Milos, because it is pivotal to all directions, it has cafes and restaurants right on the gulf, shops and markets, discos, and the majority of other services. Boat excursions depart from Adamas and so do ferries to Kimolos. Visit the churches of Aghia Triada and Agios Halarambos.

Plaka. Built on the hill at the entrance of the gulf, Plaka is the most characteristic town on the Island with narrow roads, houses of Cycladic style, and a few shops and restaurants. Visit the Kastro, from which you have a wonderful view of the North/West part of the island and unforgettable sunsets. The Folk Museum and The Archaeological Museum are in Plaka and we suggest their visit. Near Plaka you have the Catacombs and the Theatre, with unexpected interesting marble remains.

Pollonia. In front of the Island of Kimolos, North/East of Adamas (10 km.) Pollonia is a small fisherman town built around a pretty, restful round beach of fine sand. On one side the peer with restaurants. It is an ideal place for those who want to be out of the crowd, close to all beaches on the north side and to the nearby islands: Kimolos, Ag. Ghiorgos, Poliegos, and of course, Glaronissia, the impressive small islands coming up from the sea with hexagon shaped stones.



Have Fun!!!
