Beach overall scores
Papafragas beach (South Aegean) is located outside the Pachaina settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Milos island, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"This charming beach is an absolute gem, complete with a thrilling jumping spot into a refreshing hole! For a more secluded experience, it's best to arrive early and avoid the crowds. Keep in mind that finding shade can be a bit of a challenge, so don't overstay your welcome. Overall, this hidden oasis is a must-visit for any beach lover seeking adventure and tranquility."
Cameron Stonebridge-Smith
"The beach in Milos is touted as a wonderland, but beware, it's a treacherous one. The descent into the cove is fraught with danger, and one misstep could result in calamity. So, if you're brave enough to try, be sure to take all necessary precautions to avoid injury. And even if you do make it down safely, the parking situation is nothing short of a nightmare."
