Milos Beaches

1. SARAKINIKO

One of the best beaches of Milos is Sarakiniko. It is a place unique in beauty and you can enjoy the sea and swimming. The landscape is lunar because the vegetation is absent while the volcanic rocks from which it has been formed are white.
The Saracens pirates gave this name to the beach as they used it as a base station. Of course even today there are bundles of their ships.
Sarakiniko is a small beach for the lovers of the sandy beach there are mainly beautiful rocks to lay your towels and dove in the crystal clear waters. The beach is not organized.

2. KLEFTIKO

Southwest of Milos you can meet Kleftiko. It is not a sandy beach but the surrounding area offers a unique beauty scenery that you should definitely visit and why not to swim.

You will reach the beach following the road to Fyriplaka and shortly before arriving you will go left on a dirt road. At the end of the road awaits the path that will take you to Tsigrado. Do not be afraid to get off it (sandy slope), though it looks sharp is not that hard and definitely worth it.
