Overview

Milos' Thiorichia Sulphur Mines offer intrepid travellers a chance to explore an abandoned mining complex and witness the remnants of the island's sulphur extraction industry. The walls bearing the marks of time, and layers of minerals and vibrant colours telling their own stories, the mines are place where mother-earth and industry intertwine.

Dedicate half a day to discovering what lies within the depths of the mines and be transfixed by the extra-terrestrial-esque terrain. Explore narrow passageways, dimly lit by natural light filtering through crevices to create an atmosphere of intrigue and adventure. Appreciate the ingenuity and determination of those who toiled underground in search of the precious sulphur so many years before.
