Papikinou is another popular beach located on the north side of Milos. Papikinou has a small pebble beach which makes it an ideal swimming spot for families with children who want to get involved in an activity other than lying on their towels and reading a book. The pebble beach also makes it easier for disabled people or elderly people who are not able to walk far without being tired or injured by the sharp rocks under their feet.

Alogomandra beach

Alogomandra Beach is a small island beach located about 5 km from Milos town center. Alogomandra beach has attracted many tourists due to its crystal clear water and white sand, although it is not as popular as other beaches such as Tsigrado or Skala Sidera (Skiathos).

Tsigrado beach
