CAVE OF SIKIA AND CLIFFS OF KLEFTIKO
Go there and contact
Sikia cave south of the beaches of Agios Ioannis and Kleftiko cliffs with impressive rocks.
To circumnavigate the island or go to the white cliffs of Kleftiko and back, prefer sailing boats to fake pirate ships, which can carry up to 45 people at a time. Two exceptional natural sites are only accessible by boat:
Sikia Cave (Συκιά) lies south of the magnificent beaches of Agios Ioannis. From the sea, you can just make out an opening in the rock, but once you swim through to the other side of this natural gateway, the spectacle is unique: the roof of the cave, collapsed for millennia, lets the sun cascade through. The reflections on the water and white rock create a magical symphony of colors. Inside this open-air cave, you'll discover emerald waters and a surprising natural pool. Take a short break on the pebble beach to take in the breathtaking beauty of this site.
The cliffs of Kleftiko (κλέφτικο), also known as the Meteora of the Sea or Thalassina Meteora, are certainly the best-known and most photographed site on Milos, and it's easy to see why. Accessible only by sea, these impressive rocks plunge white into almost unreal blue waters. You can swim between the arches and among the many caves, said to have been used by pirates as hiding places for their treasures and booty taken from the people of the Aegean islands.
