Milos is unique amongst the Greek islands. A tiny patch of earth of 160 km2 with extraordinary mineral wealth. Because Milos is a volcano, a sleeping volcano to be sure, but with just enough wreathes of smoke in its crater to remind the island’s 5,000 inhabitants of its presence. As one eruption followed another (the last dates back 80,000 years) it formed the rocks to provide a veritable treasure store that men have been exploiting for thousands of years. This volcanic activity has also created exceptional and bewitching landscapes and a large part of the islanders today live from this “fire from the earth”. And some others in a more unusual fashion.
