Milos
Art, History & Archaeology Sites & Museums

Famous for the Venus de Milo, Milos is another of the Aegean volcanic islands, but its archaeology was not as dramatically altered as on Santorini. Rather than covering prehistoric settlements in volcanic ash, the economy of the island in prehistory developed with the exploitation of obsidian. Stone tools made using this volcanic glass were much sought after in the past, and have been found at archaeological sites on neighbouring islands, elsewhere in Greece and even further afield.
