Kimolos
Κίμωλος
A neighboring island about 20 minutes by boat from Pollonia, with whitewashed villages, medieval castle ruins and quiet beaches. It's a classic day trip from Milos.
Kimolos takes its name from the white chalky earth found on the island. From the port of Psathi, a short uphill walk leads to the capital, Chorio, where a cluster of 16th-century castle buildings still stands among the lanes. On the west coast, the mushroom-shaped rocks of Skiadi and Prassa Beach are also popular. Public transport on the island is limited, so you can rent a small scooter or join a sailing tour from Milos that stops at Kimolos. Keep an eye on the time of the last boat back.
