The Archaeological Museum of Milos: In Plaka, the island's capital, lies the Archaeological Museum of Milos. It is housed in a Neoclassical building of the 1870s and it was designed by E. Ziller.

ablutsauger 05 Nov 2015Small and informativeTo be short - the museum is very very small, with very few exhibits, and you won't need more than 15 mins to pass through it. However, there is a lot of historical information in English, so you can enjoy in educating yourself, because we usually skip reading longer stories in bigger museums.
