Subjects : One of the names by which it is known Milos is the "island of many colors." The main subjects they cover aspects of landscape, the island is an island mining of volcanic origin, so very rich in minerals of various kinds, this is reflected in the color of its rocks and its beaches, of which the island is rich, more than 70! course interesting ideas are also those provided by the archaeological sites, from ancient villages and life moments, like the fishermen with their typical colorful houses by the sea (syrmata).

Recommended equipment : Council of the camera with wide-angle lenses for landscapes, but also a telephoto zoom for the details a little more elusive and of course the tripod to compose the best.

Best months : I think the position is that any time of the year may be interesting, maybe summer offers colors and contrasts more interesting.

How to get there : You can get there by plane with a short flight of a half-hour from Athens or by ferry or hydrofoil from Santorini with a few hours of sailing, or from the port of Piraeus by hydrofoil in 4/5 hours.

Visits : Mining Museum, Archaeological Museum (there is also an imitation of the extraordinary statue of the Venus de Milo, the original is now in the Louvre), Historical and Folklore Museum and the Catacombs.

Notes : The island is "lived" by sea, there are beaches and areas not accessible by land, many possibilities to rent a boat. It should be "explored" by land, maybe renting a small off-road or for the more adventurous a quad as the road network is good, but many beaches are accessible through dirt roads and a little dissestate.Imperdibile the ferried to the nearby island of Kimolos where you will find deserted beaches and fantastic colors.
