Regarding its history, it is believed that the first inhabitants of the area were Dorians who arrived there during the 7th century BC.
Due to its seafront location and its port, Klima was a significantly developed place during the ancient times and a commercial center.
Even though the old settlement of Klima was eventually abandoned, ancient remnants can still be found in this area, including the Hellinistic Ancient Theater and the Catacombs of Milos that are located within a short distance from the village.

Another interesting fact to know about Klima is that the famous Venus de Milo statue which is currently housed in the Louvre Museum of Paris was discovered in this region in 1820.

The reason why Klima has become so popular during modern times is its famous boat houses known as "syrmata". Syrmata are old traditional two-level houses that were used by local fishermen during the previous century.
The ground floor would be used as a boat storage and the first floor as a residence. The most special thing about these houses is their water placement and their wooden doors and windows that are painted in bright colors.

These days, most of them have been fully restored and are being used as accommodation facilities for tourists, making it possible to spend your vacation in Milos with the sea at your doorstep.
Their small housing capacity combined with the romantic atmosphere of the village makes them an ideal option for couples.

Klima village is one of the most photogenic locations in the island thanks to the colorful traditional houses and there are many boat tours that make it possible to admire the landscape from the sea side.
It is highly recommended to visit the seafront village around sunset time, although the promenade can get crowded.
There are a few restaurants in this area as well and to dine there a reservation at least a couple days in advance is necessary.
You can also go swimming, since there is a small beach in the village which is covered with pebbles, although it does not receive much attention from visitors.

To reach Klima by car, take the road from Triovasalos village. You can also get there by bus from Adamas station.
If you are getting there by car, keep in mind that there is a lot of traffic in the area and finding parking space near the sea is quite challenging. Some restaurants do offer private car parking areas.
