The island of Milos was the greatest centre of the cycladic civilization, with the city of Filakoti as capital, which gave her name to a whole archaiologic period. The source of the island's wealth was the production of "opsidiano" or "opsiano", a rock for making weapons and tools. During Venetocracy, the island became known from the specialised ship-pilots.
Many are the activities that visitors can spend time on during their vacation in Milos, such as fishing, biking and walking. Don’ t miss to visit the ancient town of Filakopi, where old settlements were found and are now a pole of attraction for those who enjoy to combine entertainment with learning.
