Removed from Unnamed collection

Sarakiniko Beach on the enchanting island of Milos is a must-see for any beach lover. Nestled along the coastal road east of Adamas, in the northeast corner of Milos, it's a spot that captures the imagination and the lens of every visitor. As one of the most photographed places on the island, it holds its own among the most stunning beaches in Greece. The landscape is a masterpiece of nature: long, horizontal rocks that gracefully stretch over the sea, sculpted by the relentless forces of time and saltwater. These rocks are dotted with both small and large hollows, adding to their unique charm.

The entire area features volcanic formations that are starkly devoid of vegetation, painted in a dazzling white. This striking color creates a breathtaking contrast against the deep blue and turquoise hues of the surrounding waters. Standing here feels like you've been transported to the moon's surface, with an otherworldly beauty that's simply unforgettable.

A little-known fact: the beach's lunar-like appearance has even made it a favorite backdrop for fashion shoots and movie scenes. When you visit, don't forget to explore the small sea caves nearby, perfect for a bit of adventure and a refreshing swim. If you're lucky, you might spot some local wildlife, like crabs and small fish, adding a touch of life to this serene, otherworldly spot.
