Catacombs of Milos — Attraction in Municipality of Milos

I would highly recommend a visit to this beautiful and sacred place. The catacombs have been carefully restored so that visitors can see them.

Two separate tours had groups of 4-6 people join them out of ticket order which only meant the people who were waiting were waiting longer.

As it was they managed 30 numbered tickets in 30 mins with two tour guides tours taking about 10 mins each.

I had originally been told there would have been a 30 min wait (which there would have been had people actually only been allowed to join in ticket order) but since at the rate they were going there would have been at least another 30 mins wait before my ticket was called, I asked for a...
