Milos

Milos is a volcanic island, the south-westernmost island in the Cyclades group. It has a population of about 5,000. Milos is probably best known for being the place that an armless marble statue of Aphrodite was found in 1820. That statue is now in the Louvre in Paris and is known the world over as the Venus de Milo.

Doug and Carolyn had a day sailing around the island while the rest of us hired a car and visited some of the beautiful coastline and beaches. We started at the fishing village of Klima where the fishermen's houses are carved into the rocks.

We lunched at the little fishing port of Mandrakia.

After lunch we visited Sarakíniko, clear waters and a moonlike landscape.

And later we swam at Pollonia beach before having dinner at the port.
