Paralia Firopotamos is a small, picturesque rocky beach tucked inside a cove on the southeastern coast of Milos. Known as a “true gem” of the island, its crystal clear, azure waters and scenic surroundings with whitewashed fishermen’s cottages built into seaside cliffs make it an idyllic spot to swim, sunbathe, and relax.
📋 What to Do
- 🏊♂️ Swimming and Sunbathing: The beach has shallow, calm waters perfect for swimming and paddling. Visitors also enjoy relaxing on the pebbled beach.
- 📸 Scenic Views: Photograph the beach’s dramatic blend of turquoise waters, distinctive cliffside dwellings, and the small Church of St. Nicholas perched on the rocks above.
- 🦋 Snorkeling: Snorkel in the clear waters to spot sea life. The rocky sections on either side of the beach provide the best snorkeling.
🍽 Where to Eat
There are no restaurants very close by. Visitors generally bring snacks and drinks or eat at their accommodation before heading to the beach.
