Aliki beach

Nice beach.

The blend of sand and pebbles on this beach can be a challenge to relish, especially on blustery days.

The beach offers a serene and tranquil atmosphere, with gentle breezes blowing from the north. The sandy coastline is situated in close proximity to the sea and is adorned with flat pebbles of moderate size. The waters are crystal clear and the area is classified as a wetland, with a marshy region located 100 meters from the coast. During the summer months, the marshy region dries out naturally. The beach is unorganized, with no sunbeds or other amenities, save for a wooden umbrella and the endless blue of the Aegean. The area is peaceful and not overcrowded, and visitors may even be treated to the chirping of cicadas. However, there is a free lending library available for those who wish to read, as well as a nearby restaurant that serves local cuisine. While the bottom of the beach may be covered in slightly slippery stones, sand follows shortly thereafter and the water deepens gradually. At around 15 meters deep, visitors will encounter posidonia algae, as well as a large population of small fish. For those who crave a more organized beach experience, there are several options located just a short distance away.

The crystal-clear waters and ideal conditions for sailing make Aliki beach one of the most unspoiled and undiscovered destinations in the Cyclades. Here, you can indulge in a delicious meal at the beach restaurant or take a leisurely stroll (just 2.6km) to the charming chora, which boasts narrow streets lined with small tavernas, bars and shops with intricately painted floor stones. If you're sailing from Milos, a visit to Aliki beach is an absolute must.

The pebble beach is a true gem of nature that offers a unique experience for those seeking a serene and peaceful environment. The sound of the waves crashing against the pebbles, the fresh sea breeze, and the stunning view of the ocean make it an ideal destination for relaxation and contemplation. The pebbles themselves are a fascinating sight, each one with its own unique shape and color, creating a beautiful tapestry on the shore. Walking on the pebbles is a therapeutic experience, as the smooth surface massages your feet and the sound of the pebbles shifting under your weight is soothing to the soul. Overall, the pebble beach is a must-visit for anyone who loves nature and wants to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
