« Piracy » is directly related with the Aegean archipelago since the ancient times.

The roots of the word « piracy » come from the ancient Greek πειράομαι, or peiráomai, called pi-rá-o-me, meaning « attempt; » i.e., an attempt to rob for personal gain.

Aegean archipelago, due to its special conditions (geographical location, closed sea, thousands of islands inhabited by ancient civilisations), was one of the very first seas where ships were used in favour of trade.

That means it was also one of the first seas where piracy actually begun!

The famous cove of Kleftiko (Bandits’ Lair) was an old pirates’ hideout and now one of the most popular tourist attractions in Milos island. Kleftiko is famous for its crystal-clear water, elaborate caves and imposing rock formations, and is the destination for several daily sailboat cruises during the summer months.
