The archaeological tour is a great way to get a feel for the island’s history and gain an understanding of its culture and traditions. During this tour, travelers will get to explore some of the island’s most famous archaeological sites, such as the ruins of Phylakopi and the Venus de Milo. There is also a tour that takes in the Catacombs of Milos, an underground complex of tunnels and chambers used as burial sites by the early Christians who lived on the island.
