Unlike purely tourist-driven islands, Milos maintains authenticity through its continued mining heritage, making it ideal for travelers seeking drama without overwhelming crowds.
A volcanic island forged by fire, featuring over 70 geologically diverse beaches, otherworldly rock formations, and the dramatic landscapes of Sarakiniko and Kleftiko sea caves.
