| Mylos Beach |
Location
Agios Nikitas, Lefkas
Beach Name
Mylos (or Milos)
My Rating Overall
5=superb beach, best we have visited and worth going far
out of our way to swim there again. In other words, we would travel
around the world just to swim there.
Beach
SP=Small pebbles
Sea Floor
SP= Small pebbles
Water
5= The sea water was some the best for swimming. We would
go way out of our way to swim there again and would travel around
the world if we had to.
(These are just my own unscientific observation of the water
feel and appearance)
My family and I 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 common.
Access
Poor=accessible by car, poor road, long walk or climb
Boat=accessible by boat only
The walkway to the beach is too dangerous to traverse, so
the best way to get there is via water taxi from Agios Nikitas.
The isolation of the beach is about to end though since a new
bar/restaurant is being built which will provide safe foot access
to Milos beach via a wooden staircase. It should be ready in
the summer of 2004.
Amenities
No access to any amenities, so bring your own water and food.
The new restaurant should change all this soon though.
RV / Camper Accessibility
There is no way to drive down to the beach, and parking around
the town of Agios Nikitas is a major headache. A couple of kilometers
south you can reach Kathisma beach where there is plenty of parking
for campers.
Snorkeling
P=looks promising but I did not dive

Comments FANTASTIC BEACH FOR SWIMMING/SUNBATHING, SOME NATURISM
BUT DEFINATELY WORTH THE WATER TAXI RIDE, GETTING OFF THE TAXI
CAN BE FUN AND VERY WET. THE COLOUR OF THE SEA, THE MOST BRILLIANT
BLUE COMPERED WITH OTHER PARTS OF THE ISLAND.
