Beach description
Firiplaka Beach, nestled on the southern coast of Milos between the serene Provatas Beach to the west and the picturesque Tsigrado Beach to the east, beckons visitors with its majestic volcanic formations and pristine, snow-white sands. As you approach the water's edge, the beach reveals a tapestry of multi-colored fine pebbles, inviting you to stroll barefoot with ease. The shoreline is both gentle and inviting, negating the need for special footwear either on the sand or in the crystal-clear waters.
The beach enjoys widespread acclaim among all types of beachgoers. Its shallow, turquoise waters create an idyllic setting for families, allowing parents to relax while their children play safely nearby. A notable feature of Firiplaka is a striking rock formation, housing an underwater cave and a central ravine. Swimming across this natural wonder ranks high on the list of tourist activities. Moreover, the beach's stark landscape, devoid of vegetation, prompts those without sun umbrellas to seek shade behind this very stone.
Accessing Firiplaka Beach is a breeze, with options to rent a car, hail a taxi, or board a daily scheduled bus. Alternatively, embark on a nautical adventure with a scheduled sea tour from Adamas port, directly to the shores of Firiplaka.
Optimal Visiting Times
The best time to visit Milos for a beach vacation is during the late spring to early fall months, when the weather is most favorable for enjoying the island's stunning coastlines. Here's a breakdown of the optimal periods:
- Late Spring (May to June): This is an ideal time for those looking to avoid the peak season crowds. The weather is warm enough for swimming, and the island's natural beauty is in full bloom.
- Summer (July to August): These are the hottest months, perfect for beachgoers who love to bask in the sun. However, this is also the peak tourist season, so expect more crowded beaches and higher prices.
- Early Fall (September to October): The temperatures are still pleasant, and the water remains warm from the summer heat. This period offers a more tranquil experience as the summer crowds dissipate.
Regardless of the time you choose, Milos boasts some of the most spectacular beaches in the Aegean, with crystal-clear waters and unique geological formations. Just remember to book accommodations in advance, especially if you're planning to visit during the busy summer months.

- At high tide, you have to go to the beach by water. If this is a problem for you, bring rubber shoes with you.
- Despite the busyness of the beach, a secluded place can still be found. The beach is quite long, so if you go away from the crowd, you can even find a secluded corner for a romantic date. Some manage to find a suitable place for a tent, although this beach is not intended for camping.
- In the south of the island where the beach is located, there are no such attractions, so we recommend that you rake a trip on the sea to explore the picturesque southern coast of Milos. Another attraction of this region is local cuisine.
