Sulphur Mine

On the east coast of the island is a small beach called Paleorema with crystal clear emerald water and yellowish pebbles from the sulphur of the area. here is the old sulphur mine and the ruined factory installations which operated until 1956 providing a means of living for many islanders. Today, this is one of the geological sites of the mining history of Milos.

One of the most beautiful beaches on Milos Isl. Near the abandoned buildings of the mine you can still see wagons on the tracks, old rusty tools and spare parts in the storage room. A small trip in 1960 when Milos Sulphur Mines ceased to operate.
