Milos Island, Greece:

Subsets:Galleries:

Milos north coast has one of the geological wonders of the world to offer: the section around Sarakinikos Bay,- cliffs of ancient volcanic ash and pumice flow deposits, spectacularly polished and gullied by erosion.
Normally, a sunbathers paradise in summer, it reveals a rough beauty when the wind and waves become stronger.
The following are photos taken during a hike along the coast (something not to be missed when you travel to Milos!) in Oct. 2008. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

Beaches of Milos
Milos has a stunning variety of beaches, and some are among the finest in Greece and probably the whole Mediterranean.

The old manganese mine near Cape Vani
During a visit in Nov. 2005, we took home some impressions from this old, now abandoned manganese mine located in the difficult-to access, "wild west" part of Milos.
