Against of Mykonos and some other very tourist islands of the Aegean Sea, Milos is relatively quiet. One arrives there by boat from Athens. Milos is a volcanic island. It owes its form and its originality with eruptions which, according to geologists, would have started there is more than two million years. It is divided into two parts by immense natural roads which are not other than the crater of the volcano invaded by the sea: it is the bay of Adamas, one of the largest natural ports of the Mediterranean.

Mountainous in the South, with a climax to 751 m, and relatively low in North.
Milos is equipped with a very cut out coast which shelters innumerable bays and splits where nest of charming fishing ports.
