Milos's volcanic coast and natural harbor set it apart within the Cyclades. The island is also tied to ancient obsidian exchange and the discovery of the Venus de Milo.

A visit can move between very different evidence of the same landscape: sharp volcanic glass used in prehistoric trade, pale eroded rock at Sarakiniko, and the harbor that made arrivals by boat natural. Near Tripiti, the ancient town area adds context to the famous statue now displayed in Paris.
What to look for
Obsidian from Milos circulated through the Aegean in prehistory.
The Venus de Milo was found on the island, near the ancient town area.
