Adamas, the port of Milos

Adamas is the port of Milos and its liveliest village, on the inner shore of the huge bay that fills the middle of the island. It was founded in the 19th century by refugees from Crete, and it is still a working harbour, with ferries, fishing boats and the boats that leave each morning for Kleftiko. Along the waterfront are cafes, fish tavernas and boat-trip kiosks, and up the hill are the church of Agia Triada with its Ecclesiastical Museum and, by the water, the Mining Museum. Small beaches like Lagada and Papikinou are a short walk away, and buses leave from here for the whole island.
