Milos, Greece

Its often referred to as the ‘Island of Colours’ due to its diverse soil shades, including yellow, orange, red, and dazzling white — even more vibrant against the backdrop of turquoise waters. It’s also the original home of the iconic marble statue of Venus of Milo. Unearthed in 1820, the statue is now on display at the Louvre Museum in Paris, but Miloss archaeological museum houses a replica.

Santorini, Greece
