You can combine your trip to Tsigrado Beach with a visit to Firiplaka Beach, as these 2 beaches are close to each other. The descent to the beach is actually a little adventurous and not entirely safe. But once you get down there you will be rewarded with a beautiful beach of crystal clear water!

There is a lot to discover here and lots of photo opportunities. Absolutely not to be missed during a holiday in Milos. It is an enchanted place that housed an old sulfur mine which was abandoned in 1956 but time seems to have stopped. Everything remained as it was when it was in operation. But the best thing is that it is in a terrific location.

9. Paliochori Beach

Very beautiful elongated bay with a couple of really expensive hotels. You’ll see lots of beach chairs with umbrellas for a fee lined up here. The beach consists mainly of pebbles, many completely white, others black, red, or a mixture of everything. A must-see when you’re in Milos.
