In-Depth Information
Off the road to the Catacombs, a dirt track leads to the somehow thrilling spot where a
farmer found the
Venus de Milo
(a 4th-century BC statue of Aphrodite) in 1820; it's
marked by a sign. A bit further along, the well-preserved
Roman theatre
hosts the
Milos
Festival
each summer, and footpaths lead down to Klima or onto the promontory with
ancient stone walls and two small churches.
