Location
Milos Island
Beach Name
Sarakiniko
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
Sculpted limestone with one little area with sand.
Sea Floor
S=sand (sandy beach)
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
The water inside the cove where the sandy beach is collects debris
and becomes murky in the afternoon hours. It is much clearer in
the morning. Further out the water is pleasant.
(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 common
Access
Poor=accessible by car, poor road, long walk or climb
The parking area is furhter up the road, so everyone has to
walk down an easy path to the beach. The way back to the car is
not terribly steep, but it is uphill.
Amenities
No Amenities = Bring your own food and water
RV / Camper Accessibility
P= RV Room for Parking
Snorkeling
P=looks promising but I did not dive
Exploring the caves and the shipwreck looks like a promising
experience. I did not have my mask with me, but I saw many snorkellers.
Notes
Most bathers gather and lay on the smooth rocks, and some dive
in from high cliffs. Caves further up the beach, deep man-made like
catacombs.
A decaying ship wreck a little to the north - visible
by Sarakiniko completes the dramatic scenery.

enjoy something different go enjoy the smooth stone beach.
