Overall Rating
4=very good beach, would go out our way to swim there
again. We would travel for miles when in Greece, and we
would even stay in the area just for the beach.
Beach
SP=pebbles (small round rocks comprise the beach)
Sea Floor
SP=pebbles
LP=Large pebbles
R=rock (large rocks on the beach or the bottom of the
sea)
Water
3= Very nice and clean sea. We would go
swimming there again if we were in the area
(These are my, and my family's own unscientific observations of
the water feel and appearance)
We enjoy the water when it is crystal clear, and cool instead of
warm. We don' like visible floating particles of any kind or algae
settled on the beach.
Clothing
Topless sunbathing is not common
Access
Fair=accessible by car. Must park up the
road and walk down the beach.
Amenities
R=restaurant (on the beach)
B=bar (on the beach)
RV / Camper Accessibility
P= RV Room for Parking
Parking on the road would be the option here. Tough, but not impossible.
Snorkeling
P=looks promising but I did not dive
Notes
One of the best beaches of Pelion, Milopotamos is nested in a very
picturesque landscape. Milopotamos beach is divided into two separate
beaches, connected by an opening in the rock.
 One
must park way up the road and walk down quite a few cement steps
to the beach. To the south of the steps you will see another beach
made of large rocks and it attracts only those who like to have
some more space around them (photo on left).
Mylopotamos beach is very popular in the summer and it attracts
both youth and families. It is a small beach considering its popularity,
and it does feel a bit crowded in the summer.

| Comments |
I lived on the Pelion Peninsula for two months during the summer of 2005. During that time I visited many beaches, and this one was one of my favorites. The landscape was exotic and beautiful, and the pictures I took there ended up being some of the most striking photographs of my trip. The most unique aspect of this beach is the large cave like hole in the side of the mountain which allows you to walk through to the other side upon which you will see more beach. The water was clear, and often had big waves, which made child's play all the more fun. This beach could be a very romantic spot, or it could be very family oriented. It was all together lovely, and if given the opportunity to go to Greece again, I would most certainly make a special trip to visit this beach. |
