Adamantas, Milos

Tied up in Adamantas on the island of Milos. This harbour town sits on the edge of one of the largest natural bays in the Mediterranean, and is actually the flooded principal crater of this volcanic island. The volcanic activity here shaped the rocky coastline of the island and created valuable rocks that are still being mined here after thousands of years.

In fact, amongst the volcanic tuff of the island one of the world's most recognisable artworks was discovered in 1820; the Venus de Milo, that was swiftly moved to the Lourve Museum in Paris.

Adamantas, Milos was our first stop in the Greek Islands, and the perfect base for us to recover after our passage, restock the larder, explore the island, and hide out from a forecast of strong winds.
