MILOS

MILOS //

DAY 17 & 18

The entrance to ancient Christian catacombs.	An ancient tomb inside the catacombs, lit up to see the burial site.	Looking straight on at a deep tomb.
A single road winding its way up the side of a mountain.	One of the ancient walls from a city in the countryside of Milos.	The wall was used for protection, and was high in the mountains away from the port.
The ancient theater at Milos which has been greatly restored.	The doorway to backstage, where actors would wait and prepare before their scene.	The view of the sea from above the theater.
The ancient port, which is much smaller than the modern port.	A city has been built on top of the mountain.	The remains from an ancient baptistry.
The archaeological museum at Milos.	Decorative windows and plants are common among buildings in Greece.	A classic home, especially on the islands, is a white building with blue shutters.
An ancient piece of pottery resembling a woman.	A very large ancient burial pot.	A statue of a Greek soldier.
An ancient slate with the original Greek language inscribed into it.	A student reads the plaque next to the large statue in the entrance of the museum.	The water on the beaches of Milos are extremely blue, and the rocks drop off into them.
The seashore of Milos.	A tunnel has formed through the large rock over the water.	A canal leads to a tunnel which leads further out into the sea.
Water laps over rocks, looking down from the edge of a cliff.	The water is so clear that despite its depths, visitors can see straight to the bottom.	Sarakiniko beach is nicknamed "Moon Beach" because the white rocks resemble the surface of the moon.
The water is about 30 feet deep at this point, and the bottom is visible.	Students are watching as other visitors cliff jump.	The stark contrast of the white rock and the blue water resemble the decor of many Greek villages.
The cliffs jut over the water and drop off.	Great caves have formed on the side of these cliffs.	The rocky surface of this beach is akin to the surface of the moon.
