CAVE OF SIKIA AND CLIFFS OF KLEFTIKO
Sikia cave south of the beaches of Agios Ioannis and Kleftiko cliffs with impressive rocks.
To go around the island or to the white cliffs of Kleftiko and back, prefer sailing boats to the fake pirate boats that carry up to 45 people at a time. Two exceptional natural sites are only accessible by boat:
Sikia Cave is located south of the beautiful beaches of Agios Ioannis. From the sea, you can just make out an opening in the rock, but once you swim through this natural gateway, the spectacle is unique: the roof of the cave, collapsed for thousands of years, lets the sun cascade through. The reflections that play on the water and the white rock compose a magical symphony of colors. Inside this open-air cave, you will discover emerald waters and a surprising natural pool. Take a break on the pebble beach to appreciate the beauty of this site.
The cliffs of Kleftiko, also known as the Meteora of the Sea or Thalassina Meteora, are certainly the most famous and most photographed site of Milos and it is easy to understand why. Only accessible by sea, these impressive rocks plunge with all their whiteness into the almost unreal blue waters. You will be able to swim between these arches and among the multiple caves which are said to have been used as hiding places for pirates who kept their treasures and booty taken from the populations of the Aegean islands.
