island in the Archipelago, about 50 miles in circumference, with a harbour, which is one of the largest and best of the Mediterranean, and which serves for a retreat for all the ships that go to or return from the Mediterranean. The inhabitants are all Greeks, except the cadi, or judge, who is a Turk. Salt is so cheap, that they sell 67 pounds for sevenpence. There are two bishops, the one of the Greek, and the other of the Latin church; and there are 13 monasteries in this island. In the spring the whole island is like a carpet thick set with anemones of all sorts and colours. There are public baths at the foot of a small hill going from the town to the harbour; they are in a cavern, with a very narrow entrance of 50 paces long. When a person is got in, the sweat gushes out in large drops; and this sweating is esteemed good for the palsy, rheumatism, and other diseases. Below these baths, near the shore, there are many little springs, so hot as to scald one's fingers. Four miles from the town, in a very steep place by the sea, is a grotto, 15 paces deep, which is all crusted over with plume-alum, in some places as white as snow, and reddish in others. Some paces from this cavern, on the sea-shore, is another grotto, whose bottom is filled with sulphur, which burns continually. Those who are troubled with the itch go and sweat here, and are generally cured. Near the chapel of St Surriacus is a spot of ground continually burning; and the fields about it are always smoking, and yet they are all covered with marigolds. Though the air of Milo is very unwholesome, yet the inhabitants lead a merry life, and regale themselves very cheap; but the women are not very famous for chastity. They have partridges, turtle doves, quails, wheat-ears, wood-pigeons, and ducks, in great plenty; as also good figs, melons, excellent grapes, and very delicate fish. The principal town is of the same name as the island, and contains near 5000 inhabitants. It is prettily built, but abominably natty; the houses are two stories high, with flat roofs, and are built with a sort of pumice-stone, which is hard, blackish, and yet very light. This island is 60 miles north of Candia, and the town is situated in E. Long. 25° 15'. N. Lat. 36° 27'.
