A long time ago, Milos prospered from its great wealth of minerals.



It has been inhabited starting from the Neolithic age which is 7000 B.C. and since developed a lot more faster than the close by islands because of the glass-like black volcanic rock named obsidian.

This rock was taken advantage by the people of Milos to make weapons and useful tools.

The Catacombs in Milos made out of volcanic tufa, (a type of rock that is soft), they make a spectacular early Christian valuable monument, which points that Christianity itself was established on Milos island by the 1st century. This fine Ross theory would surely look valid, since Milos commerce during this time period was promising, both with the Romans and the rest of the obvious world, according to Pliny and Livy.

Milos, the island of colors, is geographically placed (by the gods) in the deep blue seas of the Aegean.



The island hosts many mind relaxing hotels in the Greek Cyclades area bathed in radiant sunlight and garnished with small white houses. Milos, is the place with the most hospitable islanders. It is well organized for all tourists and visitors with clear water beaches and magnificent monuments with a great historical value. Milos, surely steals your heart from the very first visit.
