the 13th century by the Venetian rulers of the island. The view from this
spot is magnificent! Inside the castle lies the 18th century church of
Panagia Schiniotissa and the catholic church of Santa Rosaria. The
route comes to Sarakiniko, where you will experience a view of
unrivalled natural beauty: pure white, carved by the sea, rocks, sea
caves and a small sandy beach.
Sights and attractions
A tour around Milos by caique offers sights of astonishing beauty. The
sea caves of Papafrangas (named after a catholic priest who berthed
his boats there), on the northeast coast offer a uniquely original and
beautiful sight. This breathtaking sight is amplified by the fascinating
shapes of the Glaronissia, exactly opposite the caves, rising from the
Aegean and creating a fantastic landscape. To the southwest, below the
monastery of Agios Ioannis, the Smaragdenia Spilia (Emerald Cave) is
one of the most impressive sea caves in the Cyclades. The central part of
the ceiling of the 130-metre long chamber has caved in, allowing the
penetration of daylight. On the southwest tip of the island, in gorgeous
Kleftiko, enjoy a breathtaking sight: large, white blocks that seem to rise
from the sea, arranged in a semi-circle and forming a beautiful lake
between the blocks and the shore. At the tip of cape Tourlos, the wind and
the waves have sculpted the striking rocks, called “Arkoudes” (Bears) or
“Venetsianes” (Venetian ladies) by the locals.
