I must admit that Milos island is one of the most beautiful islands I have ever been. Beautiful beaches, amazing people. I wish I can visit it again soon.
Milos or Melos (Modern Greek: Μήλος; Ancient Greek: Μῆλος 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) and the Poseidon and an archaic Apollo in Athens. The Municipality of Milos also includes the uninhabited offshore islands of Antimilos and Akradies. The combined land area is 160.147 square kilometres (61.833 sq mi) and the 2001 census population was 4,977 inhabitants.
There are about 70 beaches on Milos Island. Hivadolimni Beach is the
longest at about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi). The rest of the beaches are
starting from (North): Sarakiniko Beach,
Papafragas, Kapros, Pachena, Alogomantra, Konstantinos, Mitakas,

quiet, and those to the west are also quiet beaches. [wikipedia]Glaronisia Beach Milos:
Glaronisia is not a beach but a complex of islets that are found north
of Milos, a bit off Papafragas beach. These islets can be seen by boat
that makes the tour of the island. With a volcanic background,
Glaronisia have interesting geology. Source: www.greeka.com
