The Islands that we visit

Milos with its strange horseshoe shape, as emerges from the blue waters of the Aegean, bathed in bright light and adorned with white houses, Milos with the hospitable inhabitants, Milos with good tourist infrastructure, clean beaches and the remarkable monuments stealing the hearts of those who visit the island. In antiquity Milos flourished because of its mineral wealth. Inhabited since the Neolithic era (7000 BC) and soon prospered more than its neighboring islands thanks to obsidian, a black volcanic rock used in weapons and their tools. Adamas (or Adamantas) and the island in general, provides us with anything that will make our stay more comfortable and our holiday more enjoyable, combining relaxation and tranquility with its vibrant nightlife and entertainment. Here in Adamas, we can enjoy swimming, sunbathing or water sports on one of the two beaches. From Adamas, little excursion ships depart daily, making an island tour and stop at several beaches for swimming and eating in Kimolos (a nearby island).
