Sarakiniko Beach
#thingstodo
Such a magnetic looking beach, just a short drive from town. Catching sunrises here is just amazing. The hues of the sky to the moon like terrain.
This beach is appropriate for all ages, there is a shallow part that perfect for kids to play in just right where the caves are. This point is sandy or small pebble beach easy for kids sit in and play with the sand. Further down is for those whom are decent swimmers as the ledges to jump off of vary due to the tide. Of course this is a swim/jump into the water at your own risk.
The water is at least 15 ft + deep so if you jump in, be aware you swimming into the smaller cove to climb up the rock face, which can be slippery.
Overall it’s beautiful day or night. Nighttime will best during a full moon, to have its glow reflect off it terrain.
Also from when I went I did not see any restrooms
This wonderful spot of Milos Island consists of gray-white volcanic rock formations of many different shapes. It offers a wonderful view and makes you feel like you are walking on the moon. There is a small beach in a sea recess, under the shade of a few small trees. Since the point where you enter the sea from the beach is quite shallow, it is possible to swim by jumping from some safe rocks.
If you're going on a sunny day, take into account that the rocks are hot and there is little shade. You can go early to find a shaded area or take an umbrella with you that will protect you from the sun.

Grand Canyon experience in Cyclades
Visiting Sarakiniko is spectacular/ breathtaking BOTH in sunset hours or during the day!
The experience being surrounded by the white volcanic rocks caused by the salt from the sea water evokes memories of my Grand Canyon tour.
(only this is smaller compared to Arizona)
I’m equally amazed and speechless as i stood in front of this beach surrounded by the unique shapes of the rocks… Been wanting to visit for a longgggg time, glad i managed to get a ferry from Santorini and did a 4 days stay in Milos island.
This beach is easily accessible by bus or a short drive from Adamas port.#cyclades #passionpassport #sunset #volcanicrocks #miloscyclades #santorini
