Sand Museum in Milos: The Art of Sand Grains
There is a rich collection of sand samples here for you to observe. These samples have been gathered with special attention and care by a geologist from Thessaloniki. You can see them and notice the slight differences, as well as admire the black sand sparkling lavishly. Even the tiniest materials can be impressive. You can see them under the microscope.
