Ancient Theatre of Milos & Venus Discovery Site
Αρχαίο Θέατρο Μήλου
A Hellenistic–Roman marble theatre ruin facing Milos Bay, close to where the armless Venus statue was unearthed in 1820.
The ancient theatre lies within the ancient town site between Plaka and Klima. Its marble seats survive, and the view across the bay is excellent. It occasionally hosts performances in summer. A few minutes’ walk down a path brings you to the signposted Venus discovery site. The original statue is now in the Louvre. Nearby are remains of the ancient city walls, which can be combined on foot with the catacombs and the fishing village of Klima. The site is open free of charge or for a low fee, so check on site.
Opening hours
Approx. 08:00–15:00 (check on site)
