Journey Through the Past with a 4-Wheeled Adventure
Milos Island isn’t just about stunning beaches and rugged terrain; it’s a place rich in history and culture. With your Blackstone Motors rental, you can explore the historical sites of Milos at your own pace, learning about the island’s ancient civilizations and the significant role it played in Greek history.
The Ancient Catacombs of Milos
One of Milos’ most fascinating historical sites is the Milos Catacombs, located near the village of Tripiti. These catacombs are a labyrinth of underground burial sites that date back to the early Christian era. The drive to the catacombs takes you through narrow, winding roads, and once there, you can take a guided tour to learn about the ancient burial practices and the history of early Christianity on the island.
Phylakopi: The Ancient City
Phylakopi, an ancient city on the north side of Milos, is another must-visit historical site. The site is home to ruins that date back to the prehistoric period and is one of the most important archaeological sites in the Cyclades. Visiting this area is like stepping back in time — and with a Blackstone Motors vehicle, you’ll have the freedom to visit this site and other important historical landmarks without the constraints of public transport.
