Mining History and Geology

Описание: Are you aware that mining began on Milos in 8,000 BC, and that the island is still home to active mines?

The geology of Milos is as fascinating as the ancient treasures buried within it, and we are happy to propose a fantastic themed cruise event for you. The "Miloterranean" Geo Experience, an initiative of the Milos Mining Museum, takes you up close to the fascinating geology and mining history of the incredible island of Milos, an open geological museum. Famed for its unique minerals, it literally rose out of the sea amidst submarine volcanic activity over the course of eons, following the collision of the African and Eurasian continental plates. Thanks to a team of cartographers, historians, forestry experts, geologists and mining engineers, you'll discover the island's unique geology, its rich mining history and its spectacular natural beauty with a lecturer from the Milos Mining Museum.
