Preview: Explore the Untouched Milos of Greece
Показать описание
Milos is the southwesternmost island in the Cyclades. I first learned about it from my local Greek friends from few years ago. We decided to explore this untouched island after our journey in Santorini during Greek Easter period. There are only about five thousand residents in Milos with abundant culture, history and nature. This history of Milos started from The Bronze Age, Dorian Settlement, The Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine Period to modern age and recent world war two when the island played an important and strategic role in it. Due to its volcanic character, Milos has lots of natural resources and produces bentonite, perlite, pozzolana, sulfur and etc. It is an island where heavy industry meets the tourism which makes it unique and unusual. Not to mention there are more than 70 pristine beaches on the island and it is a true wonderland for explorers for a raw and authentic adventure.
Below you can follow our highlights from our Milos journey:
We woke up in the small old town of Trypiti, overlooking the harbor of Milos. Down the hill is the charming fisherman town, Klima, where the locals painted their boat houses in different vibrant colors. We then hiked to the Ancient Theater of Milos next to the important Catacombs. The site used to be a happening town with advanced civilization back in the date, and this is where the archeologists found the famous statue of Aphrodite .
Next we hopped on the jeep for an off-road experience and arrived at the Bone-White Sarakiniko beach. This beach is known for its unusual characteristics from the erosion of the volcanic rock by wind and wave. It's like running and swimming in the moonscape. We followed the locals to the Mouratos Bakery for some delicious Greek pastry and enjoy our Greek seafood feast at Navagio Restaurant by the beach in Adamantas. Then we drove the rocky roads through the mountains to the deserted Thiorichia Beach where the abandoned sulfur mine was located. It was a surreal setting like scenes from Indiana Jones movie.
On the Good Friday before Greek Easter Holiday, we went back to Plaka and Trypiti town for our first Greek Easter experience. We joined the local people for the Epitaph procession. Good Friday is a mournful day that commemorates the Passion of Christ in all of Greece. We walked the whole town with the elaborate wooden bier adorned traditionally with fresh flowers which symbolizes the tomb of Jesus after he has been crucified and taken down from the cross. It was so peaceful but powerful. The next evening, we gathered at the Saint Spiridon church for the Resurrection service in Triovosalos town around 11pm on Holy Saturday. We stayed outside waiting, the priest then emerges and ascends a platform to read a Gospel passage until midnight, “ChristosAnesti” (Christ is Risen). We all carried the candle lights and exchange the Easter greetings with a lot of emotions. Then the fireworks and the sound of dynamite aroused and shaken up the sky towards the Saint George church across the village. It was a unique moment and definitely a memorable experience.
Next morning, we got on board to the yacht and started our island tour for the most beautiful beaches and spots you could not access from the road. Our favorites are the Klefitko beach, one of the best beaches in Greece that used to be the home of pirates, Fyriplaka beach, Parafragkas and the secret Cave of Sykia on the west side of the island. During our boat ride, we were impressed the unique volcanic rock formations and scenery around Antimilos and other nearby islands.
After the amazing boat ride, we returned to the harbor and had an exclusive tour at the historical Refuge of Adamas, the World War Two bomb shelter built by German. Now it is a museum where the war history and Greek contemporary art are showcased. After a deep and emotional cultural experience, we were invited to a sunset dinner in Pollonia and wrapped up our incredible discovery in Milos.
