Milos Beaches in Agia Kiriaki

Agia Kiriaki Beach

Agia Kiriaki Beach is a mixed pebble and sand beach that young adults really enjoy being at. The windy nature of this Milos beach allows you to play volleyball, surf through the waters, and paraglide with ease. Additionally, there are plentiful cafes nearby for hungry children, such as Thalassopetra which is right next to the beach.

Psaravolada Beach

Psaravolada Beach is a South Milos beach with impressive golden sand and clear blue waters. Whilst it is easily accessible, it is simultaneously remote enough to be moderately calm, so that you have time to relax and also time to play. It is small and secluded, offering just enough space for sunbathing and enjoying a picnic. However, you can walk to the nearby Agia Kiriaki Beach if you decide you want more space. 

Kalamos Beach

Kalamos Beach is also one of the many beaches in Milos found in the South, on a rocky cliff. It is soothing and picturesque, and frequently uncrowded even though it is on the small side. An exciting trip you can take from here is a hike to the fumaroles of Kalamos, essentially volcanic craters accompanied by a sulfurous smell and intense colors. Although quiet, you can find activities such as boat trips and wine tours, or explore the snack bars and other beaches nearby.
