Antimilos (formerly Antimelos, Greek Αντίμηλος) is a Greek island in the Cyclades, 13 miles (20 km) northwest of Milos. Administratively, it is part of the municipality of Milos. Antimilos is an uninhabited mass of trachyte, often called Erimomilos (Desert Milos). It is a volcanic island and the crater is still obvious. Ancient inhabitants transformed the crater to an open rain tank. On the island lives a rare variation of the common goat. It is similar but not the same with the Cretan goat known as "kri-kri".
