Milos, the “island of lovers”.

Milos is a veritable beauty that steals the heart of those who pay a visit. It is set in the blue waters of the Aegean and it is bathed by radiant sunlight. It has an excellent infrastructure in terms of hotels, cafes and restaurants and a fine touristic organisation. Milos has also fine beaches, clear waters and some noteworthy monuments to visit.
