Milos

Milos or Melos is a volcanic Greek island in the Aegean Sea, just north of the Sea of Crete. Milos is the southwesternmost island in the Cyclades group.
The island is famous for the statue of Aphrodite (the "Venus de Milo", now in the Louvre) and also for statues of the Greek god Asclepius (now in the British Museum), the Poseidon and an archaic Apollo in Athens. Milos is a popular tourist destination during the summer. The Municipality of Milos also includes the uninhabited offshore islands of Antimilos and Akradies. (By Wikipedia)

The volcanic activity in ancient years has endowed Milos island with an exciting variety of gorgeous landscapes, consequently offering the visitor a wide range of activities. The funny shapes of the rocks and their wonderful colours at the beautiful white sandy beaches are one expression of the volcanic features of Milos, the economic activity is another: minerals such as obsidian are excavated here. What is more, one of the most ancient mines in the Mediterranean is on this island.
References had been made by Hippocrates to the peculiar morphology of spectacular caves (Papáfragkas and Sykiá) and a multitude of thermal springs (Kanava, Alyki, Provata, Pikropiyi).The diving enthusiasts will find a paradise in the underwater caves in the triangle formed by Milos, Kimolos and Polyegos islands.
The island’ s villages are lovely too: the stately Plaka (the island’ s capital), the harbour of Adamantas, the beautiful Hivadolimni, the marvellous Emporios with the little lagoon of Revary and the old iron mines.

Here are some pictures from my visit to the island: 

Adamantas is its main port and the first view to look upon when approached by ship.

Kimolos is a Greek island in the Aegean Sea. It lies on the southwest of the island group of Cyclades, near the bigger island of Milos. Kimolos is the administrative center of the municipality of Kimolos, which also includes the uninhabited islands of Polyaigos, Agios Efstathios and Agios Georgios.

Sarakiniko is a beach on Milos Island, Greece, situated on the north shore of the island. Waves driven by north winds shape the greyish-white volcanic rock into amazing shapes, and the area is often compared to a moonscape. The local people often refer to the scenic landscape of Sarakiniko as Lunar. The bone-white beach derives its unusual characteristics from the erosion of the volcanic rock by wind and wave. Sarakiniko is one of the most photographed landscapes in the Aegean.

Klima is a traditional fishing village with very few inhabitants and multicolored two-storeyed houses in the natural concavities of the rocks. On the ground floor, in the so-called "syrmata" the fishermen' s boats were kept, whereas the families used to live on the top floor. Today most of these "syrmata" are for rent and you can always take excellent photos surrounded by the playful colors of their doors and windows among  cats laying indolently under the sun.

The Catacombs of Milos are located on Milos island, in Cyclades, Greece. They are found near the modern settlement of Trypiti, next to the site of the agora of the ancient city of Melos and 200m to the east of the ancient theatre. The name Trypiti derives from the fact that the surrounding area is full of caves cut into the porous volcanic rock, which are still used by the inhabitants as storerooms and stables. In ancient times, however, these caves were used as family burial chambers. (By Wikipedia)

Milos is one of the richest Cycladic Islands in the Aegean, both in mineral as well as natural resources due to its volcanic origin, which endowed the island with valuable minerals reserves, such as bentonite, perlite, pozzolan etc.

The best restaurant ENALION a family business in Milos island, offers authentic food made with fresh, pure and local ingredients.

Kanelada is a traditional Greek warming drink.

Pollonia is the island’s second port after the port of Adamantas. Possibly, it was named after the temple of Apollo that existed on the Lighthouse of Pelekouda (on the left side of the settlement).
