On the edge of the southern town of Aliki is a quirky private museum that is all the work of a single man, Benettos Skiados.
In his garden, amid olive trees, amaranths and honeysuckle he has built a little city of Cycladic monuments, like the Monastery of Hozoviotissa on Amorgos, the Venetian Castle of Parikia, the Tourlitis Lighthouse on Andros, the Ancient Theatre of Milos and the Panagia Ekatontapiliani.
In the house is an armada of model ships, also crafted by Benettos, ranging from Ancient Greek triremes to steamboats.
