Triovasalos: The commercial centre of Milos, Triovasalos is one of five villages, together with Plaka, Tripiti, Plakes, and Pera Triovasalos,  that lie adjacent to each other and form the main population centre on Milos.  They and are referred to collectively as the "up-villages", by the locals, as they lie away from the seaside at an elevation of about 150m.  Triovasalos offers the visitor a friendly village atmosphere and a central location.  As most of the inhabitants are not dependant on tourism for an income, it offers the visitor a casual and authentic glimpse at modern Greek island life, away from the bustle of the tourist centers.
