Things to do in Milos

A view from the ocean looking at the city along the coast line with boats at the dock of Adamantas, Milos.

  • Sarakiniko Beach: Its lunar landscape is unlike anything you’ve seen before.

  • Kleftiko (Pirate Caves): Towering rock formations and emerald waters — take a boat tour and discover these former pirate hideaways — now a trademark of Milos island.

  • Catamaran Tour: In addition to the boat tour above (which you can also do by Catamaran), another wonderful way to see and experience Milos is from the water’s edge.

  • Quadbike: The only way (well, the fun way!) to travel around the island is on a quad/4-wheeler ATV.

  • Beach Hopping: Besides Sarakiniko and Kleftiko, Milos is home to over 40 exquisite and unique beaches, like Tsigrado, Paleochori, Agia Kyriaki and Firiplaka.

  • Stroll around Plaka village

  • Watch the sunset from Kastro — an old Venetian castle.
