DAY 3, 4
DISCOVER MILOS
Milos is well-known as the place where the famous statue, "The Venus de Milo" was discovered. Due to its volcanic origin, it is one of the most dramatic Greek islands, known for its colorful rock formations and superb beaches.
The inhabitants of Milos are economically dependent on mining and tourism. Tourism has only recently developed and the island remains untouched by hotel chains. This dual economy has preserved an authentic local culture that is not found on many of the other islands that are entirely dependent on tourism.
Today you will take a domestic flight to Milos and get settled into your beautiful beach front hotel in Pollonia.
Tomorrow you will spend the day touring several different locations with an experienced escort and as well as swimming at one of the most famous beaches of the island.
