Catacombs of Milos
A Landscape Carved by Nature, A Culture Carried by Time
Hidden beneath the earth near Trypiti village, the Catacombs of Milos offer a rare glimpse into the island’s early Christian past. Dating back to the 1st to 5th centuries AD, these subterranean chambers once served as both a place of worship and a burial ground, carved into the island’s soft volcanic rock. Walking through the narrow passageways, you’ll find ancient graves, faded symbols, and a hush that still lingers in the cool, dim air.
More than a historical site, the catacombs are a place of quiet reflection, connecting visitors to a time when faith was practiced in secrecy and the island’s caves became sacred sanctuaries. Today, they stand among the most important early Christian monuments in Greece.
