The island is famous for the statue of Aphrodite and also for statues of the Greek god Asclepius and the Poseidon. The Municipality of Milos also includes the uninhabited offshore islands of Antimilos and Akradies.

The most famous beaches of Milos island include Sarakiniko, Agia Kiriaki, Firiplaka, Papafragas, Provatas and Tsigrado. Tour boats leave from Adamas and sail along the coast offering visitors some of the most amazing, and mostly hidden, views of the island. A particularly impressive site is Kleftiko on the southern side of Milos, a spot with amazing rocks in the middle of the sea.
