Kimolos

"One of the best things about the Cyclades is that the islands of the complex are located very close to one another. That means you get to see two islands at once if you want to! Located only a few miles away from Milos, Kimolos island is a great choice if you’re considering exploring a few extra non-organized beaches. You can easily get there by boat from Pollonia village. The landscape of Kimolos is very similar to that of Milos, including particularly transparent waters, bizarre rock formations, natural arches and little white houses carved into the rocks. It was named after the Greek word for chalk (kimolia) because of its white rocks and sand, similar to that of Kleftiko and Sarakiniko in Milos. There is only one village and a few smaller settlements on the island. The main village is called Chorio and it is the capital of Kimolos. It is a picturesque place with lovely alleys and a few important landmarks such as the ruins of an old castle, an Archeological Museum, and the Folklore and Maritime Museum that will introduce you to the local history and culture."
