Swimming at the beach Achivadolimni

When you go from Adamantas to the south, there is no indices for a long time that there could be a nice beach on the way. You will pass a large factory in Kanava and then follows the plain up to a small airport in Milos. Immediately behind the turning rises the road to the cliff, from which it is possible to descend in several places to this beautiful semi-abandoned beach.

 

The beach stretches far west to another small cliff. Horizon is dominated by the highest mountain on the island – Profitis Ilias.

 

Beach Achivadolimni is popular especially with those avoiding big crowds by the sea. You can also find shade below the local trees.

 

The best time to visit this beach is probably in the morning, when you have the sun „in your back“ and there are the best views of the mountains and towns Adamantas and Plaka.

 

At the western end of the beach is a small volcanic reef, which is worth a short walk.

 

At the western end of the beach gets the bay the shape of the moon. Unfortunately approaches also the road leading into the mountains. On the other hand, there is the best view of the uninhabited part of island Milos from there.

 

The beach is closed by small hill, another place ideal for a short walk.

 

At the very end of the beach leads the path to the ruins of house, from where you can ascend to the outlook hill.

 

From the hill is a nice view of the mountains. Views of the beach would be better in the afternoon and mainly in days without such a strong haze.
