An obelisk on the Adamas waterfront and a small French military cemetery on the western edge of town, recalling Milos's use as a French naval base during the Crimean War.
Practical
Greeka notes that a French cemetery from the Crimean War is still commemorated by the French navy. The obelisk (OSM: French Naval Monument) is on the waterfront by the ferry pier; the French Military Cemetery and War Memorial are about 600 m west along the shore toward Lagada (OSM). Free, open access.
