Plages et littoral de Milos : découvrez plus de 70 joyaux emblématiques et cachés

Sarakiniko Beach

Sarakiniko is one of the most impressive and remarkable places in Milos. The landscape is spectacular as it has no vegetation at all but only white volcanic rocks. Its name comes from the Saracen pirates who used it as a base.

This is the most popular beach of the island, it is located in the northeast and is unorganized. It offers a unique experience of relaxing on the rocks, exploring caves formed by the rocks and opportunities for diving in the deep blue waters. Ideal for those who want to enjoy the sun and swimming in a lunar landscape.

Achivadolimni Beach

Achivadolimni, the largest sandy beach of Milos with shallow waters. It is located at the southernmost point of Milos bay near the airport and takes its name from the small lake whose bottom has many clams. It is easily accessible even by local transport.

Achivadolimni is an area of natural beauty, protected by the European Natura program. The lake and the lakeside area are a refuge for many species of migratory birds. The beach has a part that is organized and has a beach bar, but the biggest part of it is available to those who love tranquility or water sports (surf & kite) as the beach often has a north wind that favors these sports.

Fyriplaka Beach

Fyriplaka is a fairly large, shallow and semi-organized beach which is cut in half by a large rock (plaka) that has detached from the mountain. It is located south of Milos and combines sand with small colored pebbles.

Paleochori Beach

Paliohori, the beach of the village of the same name, is one of the beaches that you must visit to swim. You will get there by passing through Zephyria and following the asphalt road, either by your own car or by local transport. It has an area of two kilometers and is divided into three smaller beaches by four volcanic rocks which are in shades of red. One of the three beaches has a beach bar.

Agia Kyriaki Beach

The beach of Agia Kyriaki is one of the popular beaches of Milos as it is in close proximity, just 8 km from Adamantas and on the southeast side of Milos.

The beach is organized. Ideal beach for water sports but also for families with small children due to the sandy beach that is suitable for games.

Tsigrado Beach

Tsigrado is located on the south side of Milos and is a beach with fine white sand that is a bit difficult to reach because to reach it you need to walk a path and go down the rock by wooden stairs. You will discover it between the beaches of Firiplaka and Gerakas. Despite the difficulty of the descent, it is worth venturing.

Papikinou Beach

The beach of Papikinos extends east of Adamantas at a distance of one kilometer. It is one of the most organized beaches of Milos since it has umbrellas, sunbeds, a restaurant and a volleyball court. It is ideal for children, since its waters deepen slowly. At the same time, it is one of the beaches with the mildest waves on the island due to its position which protects it from the wind.

Paleorema- Theoriuchio Beach

In Paliorema, on the east coast of Milos, the sulfur mine of Victor Melas, the oldest and most systematic Greek enterprise in the sector, operated since 1862. During the war the company suspended its operations and continued from 1953 to 1958. With the fall in the price of sulfur the company was forced to close for good in 1978.

To the beach of Theoriuchia in Milos it is better to go by sea or leave your car when the road becomes difficult and continue on foot. Arriving you will find yourself in front of the old sulfur mines, buildings and tracks that remain and preserve memories of a working reality that has now passed.

Mandrakia Beach

Just before reaching Sarakiniko, make a stop at the seaside settlement of Madrakia and take a dip in the small beach that is located a few meters before. It is not organized, but it is worth swimming in its crystal clear waters. Please note that it does not have a sand beach.

Firopotamos Beach

Firopotamos is a small settlement and at the same time a very beautiful beach in northern Milos. The beach is surrounded by tamarisk trees for natural shade. The beach used to have a small canteen, but now there is nothing but sand and gravel. To the right of the beach is the settlement with the wires which is worth visiting and seeing from the houses that guarded the boats in the winter.

If you go up the hill towards the ruined castle you will come across the old ore processing factory, there you can take the best panoramic photo of the area. In the same place is the church of Agios Nikolaos. For the more daring, a suggestion is to dive from the small terraces located there, alternatively there are steps for gentler diving. To enjoy your visit more check the weather first and prefer to explore the area when there will be southerly winds.

Provatas Beach

Provatas is a fairly long beach with golden-red sand and relatively shallow waters, suitable for small children. It is located east of Milos and can be accessed from the paved road without any difficulty. In the summer months there is also local transport from Adamantas to reach this particular beach. In the settlement that is built around the beach you will find fish taverns to taste fresh fish.

Faturena Beach

A beach perhaps not so crowded is Faturena. To visit it, follow the main axis from Hivadolimni and where you meet Ag. Marina you go down the dirt road towards the sea. There you will find a quiet and clear blue beach with a view of the entire port. Near it is also the "Rivari" lagoon.

Polyaigos Beach

Just a mile away from beautiful Kimolos is Polyaigos, another idyllic spot worth exploring. Its wild beauty, its enchanting landscapes and its lacy coasts are the elements that give Polyaigo a special color and attract a large number of visitors every year. It is the largest uninhabited island in the Mediterranean. It probably got its name because of the use of the island as a pasture for goats.

Plathiena Beach

Plathiena is a beach in the north of Milos, in a bay that is somehow protected from the frequent meltemi. It is very close to Plaka (2km) and you can see it from the big church in the center of the capital. Access is very easy, go from the main road. In front of this beach, in the sea, is the famous bear-rabbit shape of Milos, a rock that looks like both a bear and a rabbit, depending on the angle. The beach is sandy, with shallow water and some low trees on the sand. In summer there is a bar that offers drinks, meals and a few sunbeds and umbrellas.

Agios Konstantinos & Mitakas

Beautiful and quiet sandy beach in the picturesque harbor surrounded by rocks. Agios Konstantinos, which takes its name from the homonymous church of the Saint, is a beach with turquoise waters, closed like a lake, with white sand and several wires (buildings at the edge of the sea, where fishermen keep their boats). It also has two small caves, always ready for exploration. You will get there by following the road to Pollonia. On your left you will come across a small detour that leads to the small and quiet seaside settlement of Agios Konstantinos.

Alogomantra Beach

Very close to the small port of Agios Konstantinos, in the northern part of the island, is Alogomantra. A small and beautiful beach surrendered to the "embrace" of an impressive rock that forms a natural cavity. With a semi-cave-like appearance, the beach with its fine golden sand and blue-green, shallow Aegean waters is suitable for enjoyable long swims away from everyone. The beach does not have any organization, so if you choose it, it is a good idea to stock up on the essentials for your day at the beach.

Kapros Beach

Kapros is located in the northern part of Milos and has a narrow beach of rare beauty that looks like a swimming pool. It is located in one of the many small bays that form the rocks in this area in parallel, at the end it has a natural stone bridge which is a challenge for diving. You need to be careful to find it since you have to turn just before Papafraga. The water is clean and the surrounding nature has little vegetation so you will not find natural shade.

Pollonia Beach

Pollonia is a picturesque fishing village on the northeastern tip of Milos. The main beach of Pollonia is located in a small, sheltered bay, very close to most accommodation, taverns, children's playground, mini market, bakery, taxi and bus stop and retail shops. There is an additional, long sandy beach on the south-eastern part of Pollonia, with a convenient beach bar operating on the southernmost side of the beach during the summer season. The dense tamarisk trees, which frame the beach like an emerald necklace combined with the soft golden sand and a quiet, crystal clear sea create an amazing atmosphere of calmness, comfort and peace. That is why there are many families with small children who love its shallow waters and sand.

Kleftiko

Kleftiko is located at the southwest end of Milos and is only accessible by sea. Its name came from the pirates, as in the past this place was used both as a refuge and as their base, since the small coves protected the ships and themselves from the strong winds of the Aegean.

The magic of the landscape is complemented by the legend of the pirates' hidden treasure in a cave near the beach. White sheer rocks fall into the sea, creating three continuous bays, while some of them are cut off from the land and rest on the deep blue waters, forming caves and pits. The clarity of the water, the caves that offer safe passage, the small beach and the underwater life make up one of the most beautiful natural wonders in the entire Mediterranean.

This enchanting landscape challenges every nature lover to swim, enjoy colors and fill the senses. There are daily sea excursions starting from Adamantas and from Kipos with destination Kleftiko. There are also organized tours of a few hours starting from the south side of the island to take you to Kleftiko.

Gerakas Bay

Gerakas Bay, on the south coast of Milos, has emerald waters and is surrounded by magnificent natural white rocks. The area is famous for its massive sandslides caused by perlite and is only accessible by boat. Its waters have the most vivid turquoise color you have ever seen. The beach of Gerakas, with its wonderfully clear waters and huge volcanic rocks, is also characterized as the "Hawaii of Milos" beach. Due to the volcano of Agia Kyriaki located directly above, hot water gushes out in the beach cave.

Gerontas Beach

Gerontas is another beach of Milos located in the southwest part of the island. It is recommended to visit it by boat because the road is quite difficult and you will need to walk as it is under the quarry of the area. It is a small bay with tall white cliffs all around and a natural bridge connecting sea and land to its right.

Ammoudaraki Beach

Ammoudaraki is a small and quiet beach with fine golden sand and crystal clear waters. It is located in the western part of Milos, very close to Triades. One can reach it via a rough dirt road that passes by the monastery of Agios Ioannis siderianos. The beach is isolated, without any organization and without trees to offer natural shade. It is surrounded by small rocks that make the landscape even more impressive. Ammoudaraki beach is ideal for those who are looking for unspoiled beaches with few people but at the same time, they are lovers of adventure since it will be quite difficult to get here.

Triades Beach

The Triades are actually three beaches. Three neighboring sandy coves separated by rocks. The sand is fine and soft, but the sea deepens rapidly around the shore. They are located in the northwestern part of Milos and are one of the most isolated beaches of the island. The reason is the difficult access by car. The first beach usually has more bathers, the others can be visited on foot or by swimming.

Sikia Cave

On the west side of Milos and to the south is the cave of Sykia. Access is only from the sea. If your boat is small you can go in, otherwise you will need to tie up outside and swim. Many years ago the cave had a roof which apparently fell from an earthquake. It got its name from a fig tree that is near the roof opening. Swim in its deep blue-green waters and enjoy its natural beauty.
