History
Milos’ identity was shaped by ancient mining and seafaring; the island supplied obsidian and later metals, and yielded the famed Venus de Milo in the 19th century.

High foot traffic at white-rock sites causes erosion and litter issues; follow marked paths, avoid climbing fragile formations, and use local operators who support conservation.
