#Sarakiniko Beach
Sarakiniko is an impressive beach located on the north-east part of Milos. It is one of the most mentioned beaches all over Milos due to its white, rocky landscape; the whole beach was formed by a volcanic eruption and it looks like a moon terrain. Sarakiniko Beach used to be the refuge of the Saracens, the wild pirates of the Mediterranean Sea. The beach is not organized, so if you should carry a towel, a sunscreen lotion and an umbrella with you when you visit it.
#Tsigrado Beach
A perfect choice for Milos’ adventurers is Tsigrado, a sandy beach with turquoise waters and little caves surrounded by gorgeous cliffs. Tsigrado is an exotic, unorganized beach which can be reached if you climb some steep stairs or by the sea (boat). Tsigrado is situated in the south part of the Island close to Provatas Beach. If you are interested in visiting the beach with your kids, you can take the boat instead of climbing the stairs because it is safer.
#Firiplaka Beach
Next to Tsigrado, on the south part of Milos, you will find Firiplaka Beach, one of the most popular beaches of the Island. Firiplaka is famous for its Cave Rock, a big rock which is located in the coast of the beach and which was formed by another volcanic eruption that happened in the past.The beach is not organized, but it has small pebbles and you can enjoy the beautiful rocky scenery around.
#Provatas Beach
Provatas is a family, organized beach which is also known as “the Golden Beach” due to the golden sand of the coast. The waters of Provatas are shallow and crystal clear, so it is much safer for little kids. If you feel hungry after your swim, you can pay a visit to the nearby taverns in order to taste some seafood dishes.
#Achivadolimni
Achivadolimni or Chivadolimni is a popular and clean beach easily accessible by car and by public transportation. This is the beach of kitesurfers/windsurfers thanks to the strong winds during May-late September. This is another sandy beach suitable for families with young children and for watersport athletes. If you are thinking about visiting Milos with your friends, there is a Camping area available close to Achivadolimni.
