Plathiena, Beach in northern Milos, Greece
Plathiena is a beach on the northern coast of Milos combining sand with scattered pebbles in a semi-sheltered cove. The shoreline sits along a gentle curve of the island's coast with natural features visible from the water's edge.
The beach sits at the end of an agricultural valley where olive cultivation shaped the land for many generations. This connection to farming traditions remains visible in the surrounding landscape.
Local families gather on summer evenings to watch the sunset beyond Antimilos island while children play in the shallow water. The beach serves as a social meeting point where residents spend time together during warm months.
Parking spaces are available near the beach for convenient access to the shore. Sunbeds sit under tamarisk trees, and a beachside tavern serves refreshments and snacks to visitors throughout the day.
The seawater warms to exceptionally high temperatures in shallow areas, creating natural pools with bathwater-like warmth. This thermal characteristic makes swimming here comfortable even during cooler months.
