Kleftiko is a set of gray and white rocks with strange shapes and formations, with caves and pits. The complex of impressive volcanic rocks that were created over the years by air and sea, in the turquoise waters of the Aegean, are the trademark of Milos.
Its name is due to the action of pirates, who for centuries acted in the Aegean Sea terrorizing unsuspecting merchant ships, using as a base the cavernous shores of South Milos. They hid and set up cartridges until a ship appeared to loot it. Admiral Kanaris stopped their action after the revolution of 1821, protecting the Aegean islands from the scourge of pirates.
The unique formations of Kleftiko are accessible only from the sea, by boats or sailboats starting from the port of Adamas. The boat will guide you to the cave of Sykia, for swimming in rare waters. The cave has no roof so that the sun's rays enter illuminating its emerald waters and create a visual experience of colors and glow

One of the most special and eerie beautiful beaches of the Aegean. A lunar setting with huge, imposing rocks and turquoise waters. The descent is clearly difficult and requires you to realize that in order to swim in the wonderful waters of Papafragas, you must follow the carved, narrow "path" of the rock with great care and without fear. It is necessary to get there organized, but without many things with you, as even a large beach bag creates a problem to go up and down.
