Milos – Our Friend In World War 1

As the title says, Milos sheltered the English and French fleet at Adamantas. It was used as a naval base against the attack of the German submarines. But in World War 2 the island was occupied by the Germans in 1941. But 4 years later it was liberated! This, I learnt from an old sea dog!!!

Milos actually means “sheep” and the Romans conquered the island in the 2nd Century BC!

Its only around 14 miles E to W and 6 miles N to S.

The sunset photo I took last night! Some of you may have seen it as I had to share with friends/ family. Far too beautiful to see alone. The other photos are what I took today exploring. I went off the beaten track again and got lost …. easy finding my way back now … just climb to the top and look to see where you have been. Enjoy! My last full day here tomorrow before I sail back to Athens on Tuesday.
