Beaches, caves, and the site of the "Venus de Milo" statue on Milos Island, Greece

Greece is a country with many tourist islands. Which Greek islands are you most familiar with? 1. Milos is a small island in the Aegean Sea, Greece. Its colorful island scenery is breathtaking, like a bright pearl in the Aegean Sea. The unique architectural houses on the island are also a beautiful sight. 2. Must-see attractions: Beaches The cover photo and photos 1 and 2 show beaches and seagulls. There are some attractions you must not miss when visiting Milos, and the first is the beach. This is a great place to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the island. The seagulls on the Aegean Sea and the characteristic white houses on the island are all in view. 4. Caves on the volcanic island: Isn't the cave in the fourth photo amazing? Milos is a volcanic island in the Aegean Sea, located at the southwestern end of the Cyclades. It is only 40 miles from Athens and has a permanent population of about 5,000. The highest point on Milos is Mount Prophet Elias in the west, at an altitude of 748 meters. Milos originated from a volcano, so there are a large number of tuff, trachyte, and obsidian in ordinary rocks. The cavities left by the former main crater have become natural harbors, with depths gradually decreasing from 130 meters to 55 meters, and the island is divided into almost equal parts by a strait no more than 18 kilometers wide to the north. In a cave on the southern coast, the heartbeat of the volcano is still magnificent, while in the port on the eastern coast, there are hot sulfur springs. 5. The "Venus de Milo," one of the "Three Treasures of the Louvre," is a 204 cm tall half-naked marble statue with a beautiful face and a well-proportioned figure. The folds and textures of the skirt wrapped around the lower body are very natural and appropriate. The superb carving technique is breathtaking. It is called the "Venus de Milo" because it is missing two arms. The author of this statue is unknown, but it is said to be the ancient Greek Alexandros, created between 150 BC and 50 BC; In 1820, the statue was discovered by a farmer next to an ancient tomb site on the Greek island of Milos in the Aegean Sea.
