Archaeology Museum
Housed in a handsome neoclassical building, this museum contains some riveting (albeit haphazardly labelled) exhibits, including a plaster cast of the Venus de Milo that was made by craftsmen from Paris' Louvre museum (as a sort of Venus de Mea Culpa perhaps?). Best of all is a perky little herd of tiny bull figurines from the Late Cycladic period.

Christian Catacombs
Milos is home to Greece's only Christian catacombs, which date from the 1st century and were the burial site for early believers. Nearby are Roman ruins, including a well-preserved ancient amphitheatre (site of the two-day Milos Festival each July). Follow the signs to the rather forlorn spot nearby where a farmer found the Venus de Milo in 1820.

Akri Bar & Gallery
Adamas is home to Milos' best nightlife, and Akri is a great bar and gallery in a prime location, complete with view-enriched terrace and cocktail-supping locals and holidaymakers. Of an evening, patrons chill out to funk and Latin sounds. Upstairs is an elegant gallery selling glass jewellery, paintings, pottery and sculpture, many by island artists.
