Klima Syrmata

The most colourful traditional fishing village in the Cyclades

📍 West Milos ✓ Free entry

Klima's syrmata are two-storey boathouses built directly into the volcanic rock: ground floor for the fishing boat, upper floor for the family. Painted in vivid reds, blues and ochres, these unique structures are found only on Milos and are among the most photographed subjects in the Cyclades.
