Milos is a pearl. Along with Santorini, with which it shares the volcanic origin and the richness in colours of its beaches, it is one of the most objectively beautiful Greek island. No other island has so many beaches all different from each other, it is so colorful and yet still undiscovered by mass tourism (its airport has one tenth of the passengers of Mykonos, for instance). It is a rough, unforgiving island with a dramatic beauty that will make you love it, instantly. Or perhaps hate it, if you’re looking for comfort. Milos is not an island for those looking for a relaxing vacation due to its still wild…

An often asked question when pondering a trip to Greece is: what is the best greek island? The question implies that there’s one that is overall “the best”, which there isn’t. Greek islands can be wildly diverse and appeal to different types of tourists. If you are looking for peace, for instance, you wouldn’t probably choose Rhodes or Santorini, as they’re extremely popular. So the “best” greek island for one like you would be a smaller, less frequented island. And so on.

Among them there are a few that are true gems not just of Milos but of the whole Cyclades Islands. Being without a boat of some sorts is thus pretty limiting. If you have just a car or a scooter you’ll still be able to visit awesome beaches but it is important to know which ones can be reached and which ones you’ll need to book a boat tour. I’m going to list thus the best beaches on Milos, specifying which ones can be accessed only by sea. I won’t repeat often…

You may have heard of Mykonos and Santorini, probably. Perhaps not so much of Paros that, albeit very popular among French and German tourists, isn’t as frequented as the other island of the Cyclades. Perhaps not even as much as the twin island of Naxos, just a narrow sea channel away to the east, which gets slightly more visitors due to being a ferry hub for the area. Unfortunately so. Paros can boast a great variety of beaches and true gems of the whole Cyclades among them. I’ve spent 2 weeks exploring all Paros beaches and selected the best ones. So let’s check!
