Gulet Charter Milos

This is the location of one of the oldest mines in the Mediterranean. Milos Island has been inhabited since prehistoric times. During the Persian Wars, the locals fought against the Persians in the naval battle of Salamina and they kept a neutral position later during the Peloponnesian War. Trade thrived in Roman times. In the Byzantine period, the island suffered frequent pirate raids, with locals taking refuge mainly in the south side, in caves and coves. The island was later ruled by the Venetians and after that by the Turks. In the 20th century, Milos has become a major mining area, as extraction of perlite, kaolin and bentonite continues to the present day.

Plaka is the capital town of the island, built on a hill 220 metres up Adamantas bay.

Close to Plaka there are many small picturesque villages such as Fyropotamos, Plathiena, Fourkovouni and Klima.
