Itinerary
Our tour starts from the ANCIENT THEATRE of Milos, located on the east side of the narrow entrance of the gulf of Milos, among the modern villages of Tripiti and Klima, looking down to the largest natural port of the Mediterranean. Later, as we pass by the area where the statue VENUS OF MILOS was discovered and now graces the museum of Louvre in Paris France.
We visit the CATACOMBS of Milos, that are the second most remarkable Prechristianic monument worldwide, following those of Rome, because of which Milos was proclaimed a Holy Island in 2014 making it a World Pilgrimage Centre and enforcing the image of our country as a focus of global, spiritual radiance.
We then visit the FOLKLORE and ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM in the capital of the island Plaka, to learn about the History and the traditional life of the island, as well as a walk around the narrow streets of the village with numerous little shops, ending at MARMARA, the yard of the church of Panagia Korfiatissa, enjoying the majestic view from the most amazing spot for taking photos on the island.
We continue with a short visit in MANDRAKIA, a scenic fisherman’s village with 2 little docks that host Milos typical “Syrmata”, colorful – underground buildings – spaces where fishermen kept their boats.
A stop at the famous Sarakiniko, the white volcanic rocks sculpted by the time.
Then on the North side of the island we meet the archaeological site of the prehistoric city of FYLAKOPI, which is the most important city of the prehistoric Aegean Sea, where there are signs of people living there from the early days of the Bronze Age (around 3.000 B.C.).We then relax and enjoy a stop in POLLONIA, the most well known tourist destination of the island, which attracts tourist boats and connects Milos with Kimolos.

The guide was local to the area who was very knowledgeable and kind. He was fluent in both English and Greek. The tour gave us a great sense of the island. The only consideration for improvement would be to advise customers of the archeological closings on the island on Tuesday’s prior to booking. We were not able to see the Catacombs, nor the Archeological Museum which was rather disappointing.
We had an absolutely unforgettable experience with Milos Experience on the “Archaeological and Cultural Experience” tour. Our tour guide, Nikos, was truly exceptional. His deep knowledge of the history, culture, archaeology, and traditions of Milos made the entire experience incredibly engaging and authentic. You could immediately feel his passion for the island and the pride he has in sharing its heritage with visitors. The tour itself was beautifully organized and offered a unique opportunity to discover the real Milos beyond the usual tourist attractions. Every stop had meaning, every story was fascinating, and Nikos made the island come alive through his explanations and personal insights. If you are visiting Milos and want a genuine cultural experience filled with history, local traditions, and hidden gems, this tour is an absolute must. Thank you again for such a memorable day — without a doubt one of the highlights of our trip!
Interesting tour of Milos. Visited catacombs, villages and beautiful beaches. The old stadium was amazing to see. Bakery stop was tasty.
Amazing experience, our tour guide was great, greek hospitality and knowledge, an experience at its best. safe and clean. Highly recommended!
Traveled to Milos and was greeted by Mr Michalis who was an absolute gentleman. He made us feel right at home in Milos and even gave us some advice on good restaurants to visit, where to travel on the island and was always available for any questions we had! Efharisto Mr Michalis!
Nickolas was an EXCELLENT guide. He was VERY knowledgeable about Milos. He has lived on the island for over 30 years. He was very personable. He spoke good English. His tour included some surprises. He interacted well with driver. The driver was WONDERFUL … we felt very safe. We had a short time on Milos and wanted to see as much of the island as possible. They were flexible and accommodating
I really appreciated the tour, as they took me quite last minute and made some accommodations for me being a solo traveler without a car. I explained to them everything I wanted to see and they arranged a really beautiful custom experience for me! I learned so much, my guide was so friendly, as was the driver, and I would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Milos at any time of year! They were super flexible! And gave a great impression of Milos that didn’t feel overly touristic
The two tour guides were super cute and gave us really good information about the main attractions visitable by road. We lucked out and had no other groups joining us and the tour was catered to our preferences. Had a fantastic time - highly recommend!
We had the most awesome visit with a guide who was just as awesome. We got to see the catacombs, the moon rock beach and had lunch at an awesome restaurant. Can’t wait to go back to Milos in 2023.
We had a wonderful day with Christos touring the island! He was so very knowledgeable about the history and geology of the place, and very personable. We saw Catacombs, Sarakiniko, the Ancient Theater, Klima, a few other beaches, and had an awesome lunch in Pollonia right on the water. Thanks again Christos and Milos Experience. We can't wait to come back and visit the island!
