About this experience

Discover the picturesque capital of Milos, Plaka, with its traditional Cycladic architecture and unique natural beauty. Visit the small shops that offer unique handmade and traditional products, and enjoy local flavors in the traditional taverns and cafes. Next, head to Sarakiniko, one of the most impressive and unique beaches in the Cyclades.

Sarakiniko is characterized by its lunar landscape, with white volcanic rocks that create an impressive contrast with the blue waters of the Aegean. Natural caves and crevices in the rocks offer incredible opportunities for exploration and photography.

Finally, visit Pollonia, a picturesque fishing village on the northeast coast of Milos. With its beautiful sandy beach, seaside taverns serving fresh fish, and small cafes, it is the ideal place to relax and enjoy authentic Greek hospitality. The traditional houses, the white architecture that reflects the sunlight, and the blue, crystal-clear sea, create a magical setting.
