Best beaches in Milos

Quick answer

Milos has more than 70 beaches. Sarakiniko's white volcanic rocks are on the north coast, Firiplaka and Tsigrado are on the south coast, and Kleftiko's sea caves are reached only by boat. On windy days from the north, choose south-coast beaches; when the wind is from the south, go north.
