unleash yourself into the astonishing experience of Greek island life. The boat stops in the village
and natural port of Skala in Agistri.

snorkeling and diving and also for explorative hiking, cycling and horse riding.

In Skala, where the main port is, you will find most of the islands hotels. The village is perfect for
families and couples, offering a great selection of places to rest, have a drink or enjoy a Greek dining
experience through day and night. A must see is the church of Agioi Anargyroi which fascinates
visitors with its blue dome.
Milos-Megalochori is the capital of the island and charms with its small curvy streets, authentic
houses, taverns and the church of Agios Zoodochou Pigis.
Metochi, which is located among the hills, offers a spectacular view over the villages of Skala and
Milos. The small village is perfect for relaxation and for explorative tourists.
Limenaria is an old traditional Greek village with no hotels or bars, only a small welcoming tavern. It
charms its visitors with sights of the quaint shabby houses with splendid flowery gardens, colourist
natural paysage, and Greek cultural tropes.
