Phylakopi
Φυλακωπή
A Bronze Age town site on the north coast, which thrived on obsidian trade. Excavations uncovered the Flying Fish fresco and the Phylakopi Goddess figurine.
Between 2300 and 1100 BC, Phylakopi was an important settlement in the Aegean. Its finds are mostly held in the Archaeological Museum of Milos and the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. The site preserves Mycenaean-era city walls and the foundations of some houses. It is modest in size but has wide sea views. It is right next to Papafragas, so the two can be visited together. Opening hours are limited, so check on site.
