Firiplaka, Sandy beach in Milos, Greece
Firiplaka is a beach on the southern coast of Milos featuring fine silver-gray sand, white pebbles, and turquoise waters extending about 400 meters. Tall volcanic cliffs rise above the shoreline, with distinctive rock formations and natural stone arches creating the beach's defining landscape.
The beach formed through volcanic activity spanning millions of years, creating the distinctive rock formations and natural arches visible today. This same geological process shaped the entire island of Milos and continues to influence its landscape.
Local people from Milos gather here during summer months for swimming and social gatherings in a setting that feels genuinely lived-in. The beach serves as a natural meeting point for families who return year after year, keeping alive the island's connection to the sea.
The beach is accessible by car, taxi, or local bus from Adamas port, with the final stretch requiring a short five-minute walk from the parking area. The wide sandy section makes entry into the water straightforward, though swimmers should be aware that currents can develop and water conditions vary with weather.
Beneath the water surface lies a large cave formed by ancient volcanic processes that becomes visible when conditions are calm. This underwater feature makes each visit different depending on how the sea appears on any given day.
