Beach overall scores
Paralia Gerontas (South Aegean) is located outside the Xylokeratia 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
"The beach exudes an unparalleled beauty and untamed nature that is truly breathtaking. Its unspoiled surroundings are a sight to behold and leave one in awe of the wonders of nature. The beach's natural allure is simply amazing and a testament to the power and majesty of the earth."
Larissa Zoltan
"This beach is truly remarkable! If you enjoy a more intimate and laid-back atmosphere without the distractions of sun beds or bars, then this is the place for you. Our visit with our two-year-old was an absolute joy, as there were very few people around. Even to this day, it remains my top pick for beaches in Milos."
