Description

Tiny slot-canyon cove on Milos’ north coast near Phylakopi. The beach is a very small strip of mostly sand (some pebbles) at the end of a narrow, cliff-lined channel with exceptionally clear water and sea caves. It is exposed to the Meltemi/north winds, so conditions range from calm on quiet days to notably wavy when it blows; the channel can funnel swell and currents. Access is on foot via a short but steep, carved path/steps cut into the rock; footing can be slippery and sections are hazardous. Periodic safety closures/fencing may restrict descent. No facilities on site. Parking is limited at the clifftop area and along the road. Notable cautions: rockfall risk, steep descent, waves/surge in the channel.
