I highly recommend the boat tours that sail around Milos island especially the tour that stops at Kleftiko for a swim.The crystal blue waters are irresistible and the scenery is majestic.Enjoying a lunch on board surrounded by 50 shades of blue waters.One must not miss the boat tour when visiting Milos Island.It is an unforgettable experience.

A sunny stretch of sand by the sea, littered with nude and semi-nude sunbathers from all over the world.

This is a great beach. The sand is super fine, there is plenty of space available, and it’s surrounded by shops and restaurants

An amazing place and well worth the trip. The last kilometre is a bit of a nightmare so check your brakes work ! It's a nudist beach but plenty of people leave their swimwear on. We didn't and now have beautiful all over tans. You're not seeing a picture though you cheeky readers. There is a lovely lady called Amelia who rents out sunbeds for just 3 euros each and a parasol for another 2 . Very reasonable. She also serves drinks and an ice cold beer or wine is only 2.50. She is a lovely friendly lady and doesn't take advantage of her monopoly but charging a fortune. The water is crystal clear, the sand is soft and we came here 4 times. Make that visited 4 times. ...!!! It's a little corner of heaven. Make sure you leave only footprints and take only photos. Although be careful when pointing your camera ... some people might not want pics of their bits taking! Thank you corfu. Now I'd better put some after sun on my bumcheeks as it was still 27c even in mid October.

A beach so spectacularly blue you have to pinch yourself hour after hour to check you are not dreaming. The water is immensely clear and the blueness goes on forever. It is a cove surrounded by luscious green mountains - with mountain goats for added Greek authenticity and the white sand is like silk upon the soles of Your feet. The waves are strong and the current powerful which makes it difficult to get out for a swim but it is immensely fun playing around in the waves on the vast shoreline. There are umbrellas and sun beds for a small fee of 3.50 each and a little beach bar with showers and toilets. I would recommend getting here before midday as the car park got quite busy. On the way down to the beach you must stop off at the viewpoint and film the panoramic views of the mountains meeting the ocean - I have never seen a view like it. Only A couple of warnings would be there are paragliders which land on the beach so be careful to stay out of there way and be careful with children playing in the sea without an adult. As I said the waves are powerful and will. Drag you under if you are not careful. I cannot recommend a beach to go to more highly than this for a perfect peaceful and fulfilling day on your travels.

This beach is well suited to families in the central area with the usual sunbeds, brollies and showers. The north and south beaches are textile optional and both are sheltered by high cliffs. Access to the south and north beaches is sometime limited by high water levels and wading may be needed in places.

Picture perfect beach in Lefkada. High cliffs and clear blue water makes a perfect getaway. Make sure you come early in high season as parking lots aren’t very spacious. Windy road to get there but not too difficult to reach it.

We rented a car from Chania and took this amazing drive to the countryside. The drive was quite long but so scenic and amazing. We stopped along the way and enjoyed the roadside vendors. Bought some delicious olive oils and olives. The eateries along the way were small, authentic and affordable. Once we arrived at the beach we were stunned. The water was crystal clear with no rocks or seaweed. You could wade out quite far before it got deep so this would be a very safe beach for kids. The beach sand was soft and clear of any debris and the colors of the water turning pink as the waves crashed really was spectacular. A must see and one of the highlights of our trip!

The most beautiful beach in Creta (together with Elafonisi) and famous for its wild nature, with turquoise waters and white sands turning to amazing shades of pink in some places. Waters are shallow, perfect for kids and lovely for grownups too. A legendary lagoon is also worth stopping by. Beware the boats throwing thousands of tourists in the middle of the day, although that is a very practical way to reach the place without going by car on a bumpy road. Ferries go back and forth from Kissamos port, but there are multiple trips during summer time, so I’d recommend to take the earliest trip available and then move to the island of Gramvousa nearby when the beach gets too crowded !

Definitely the place to be when you are in Milos. I would recommend going early in the morning if you want it to be quiet. The place is popular so it will have tourists that are taking photos, especially after 10:30 AM. Take a camera with you as you'll find many spots where you can take amazing pictures. Close to the beach you can find a food truck with beverages in case you forget to take water with you.
