  • Milos

Your first stop is the Papafragas Cave that once served as a hidden cove to pirates. The next is Sarakiniko Beach with turquoise water and white coast formed by vegetation-free volcanic rocks. Drive along the coast to reach the classic Cycladic village of Plaka. Strolling along the narrow-cobbled alleys lined with white stoned houses on the top of large rock may be an excellent experience. Take a 15-minute visit to the Archaeological Site of the Catacombs, followed by the ancient marble theatre via the site where Venus de Milo was discovered in 1820. The tour will end at the colorful seaside village of Klima, where you can see a long strip of multi-colored traditional fishermen houses, known as "Syrma" lie along Milos Bay.

After the interesting sightseeing, it is time to indulge in a cool swim and drinks in the crystal waters of Paleochori or Provatas beach. There is free time for swimming and sunbathing.
