The Ancient Theatre of Milos
The Verdict
Twenty minutes of ruins, then the best hour on Milos: the fishing village below it at sunset.
Why go
The theatre is modest, with weathered rows of seats and a view over the bay that explains why anyone built it here. Almost nobody visits, so you can walk down through the seating alone. Go in the late afternoon, then take the short track down to Klima, where the boat houses are painted in the island's own colours and the sun sets straight across the water.
Understand the place
A small Roman theatre cut into the hillside above the water, looking down on the painted boat houses of Klima.
