Milos
Only a few years ago, Milos was one of those quiet islands where you would
only find empty beaches, very few taverns and nothing else. Today, it has
become one of the "trendy" islands for young Greeks to go to in summer, and
the island has turned into a quite exciting place. The big plus is that
Greeks have a very relaxed attitude to alcohol, so the island is not
particularly noisy, and you can sleep at night.
Milos has many, many little bays - and if you rent a moped you can find a
small beach of your own. This is very romantic, and perfect for honeymooners
and people that like their peace and quiet.
One of the most famous sculptures of the ancient world, Venus de Milo
(Aphrodite of Milos) was found here. A copy can be seen in the archaeo-logical
museum, while the original is at Louvren in Paris. It was given to the
French during the Turkish rule, so that the oppressors wouldn't steal it,
but now the Greeks would of course like it back. Everywhere on the island
you'll see large or small copies of this work of art.
The locals live off fishing and exporting minerals from the island. Tourism
is also a source of income in summer.
