Located on the north coast of Milos, Sarakiniko beach is a breathtaking geological wonder. What makes it so unique are the rock formations sculpted by the wind and sea, creating a lunar landscape of breathtaking beauty. The rolling white cliffs contrast magnificently with the crystal-clear turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea, creating a picture-postcard backdrop.
