The quaint fishing village of Firopotamos Milos offers visitors the chance to experience idyllic, small town Greek life. White and blue boat houses and a crystal-clear lagoon dot the golden sand beach, and a quintessential Cycladic church provides an iconic backdrop for this quaint destination. Nature lovers won’t want to miss exploring the porch-front wonderland that is Firopotamos Beach, best experienced in the late afternoon or midday. Tourists getting a taste of life off the beaten path can enjoy the local canteen during the summer months, and book a night or two at one of the boathouse apartments to soak up every last bit of charm this tranquil delight has to offer.

Tip if you sunbath on the beach: pay attention to the passage of ferries, the waves that come from them could potentially go all the way to the houses and drench all your stuff left on the sand. ( it almost happened to us, fortunately two girls took our stuff away from the waves just in time ... )
