Fest into the Summer of Milos
Art and culture enthusiasts are welcome to visit the spectacular island of Milos, discover its hidden beauties and natural splendour, dive in its crystalline waters and enjoy a diverse range of festivities taking place over the summer.
For 22 years in a row, the festival of Milos introduces visitors to a broad range of artistic performances. From May to September get ready to embark on a cultural journey from the scene of photography, to the world of the theatre and the open air stages of the island while admiring performances from all artistic backgrounds.

Discover Milos’ other point of view through images, follow the rhythmic sound of Psarantonis’ lyra, travel to a bygone era with poems from Odysseas Elytis, experience Hellenic tradition through Greek Folk Music, listen to the soothing tunes of the piano, go back in time with the melodies of Manos Hatzidakis, celebrate the modern era at the rock and artistic concerts and tantalize your palates through a series of mouth-watering food festivities taking place at several traditional villages of Milos.
Then again if you are truly a seeker of authentic experiences make sure to attend one of the many religious festivals taking place throughout the island all summer long.
