Latest reviews on Milos island's beaches

Paralia Thiafes
2 Daxton Heston.

To avoid any misunderstandings, the pictures displayed depict solely Thioruchio beach. Furthermore, we encountered difficulties in locating Thiafes beach as the GPS indicated a route but no such path was apparent.

Tourkothalassa beach
4 Lorenz K.

This beach should be one of the most beautiful places in Milos, but regrettably, the water is extremely contaminated. It's a real shame and letdown that you can't go snorkeling or swimming in this stunning bay due to the abundance of plastic litter scattered on the beach and in the water, including bags, bottles, and industrial waste. The island authorities should address this problem instead of focusing on tourism speculation.

Vani beach
10 Nathaniel Valtaris.

This magnificent location is truly remarkable. Although the journey to reach it may be challenging, as we traversed a portion of the path with a Fiat Panda before walking the final 30-40 minutes, the end result is well worth the effort. It is wise to bring along plenty of water, as there are no amenities in the vicinity. The experience of scaling the terrain is an enjoyable and thrilling activity.

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the island is August - air temperature during this time warms up to 28.1°C and water up to 24.2°C. The coldest month is January - air temperature drops to 13.9°C and water to 16.6°C.
