Description
Small cove on Milos’ north coast backed by a syrmata fishing settlement and the chapel of Agios Nikolaos. Shore is a short arc of mixed sand and fine pebbles; seabed turns rocky toward the sides, with very clear, turquoise water. The bay is partially sheltered, but it is exposed to the prevailing Meltemi (N winds), so conditions are often calm to moderate; on strong northerlies it can get choppy. Access is via a paved but steep, narrow downhill road. Parking is limited at the end of the road and by the village entrance. In season there are organized facilities (sunbeds/umbrellas, a simple beach bar) and basic showers/toilets; no lifeguard. Popular for relaxed swimming and casual snorkelling along the rocks. Cliff-jumping platforms near the chapel are used by visitors—jumping is at your own risk. Area gets crowded in peak hours; arrive early. No current Blue Flag listing.
