#kleftiko #beach #milos #greece @d.tzankatian #iLocated on the southeast tip of Milos, Kleftiko is one of the island's highlights and most visited spots. It consists of large rocks of volcanic origin that create three small bays that have taken their shape from thousands of years of erosion due to the strong wind and waves. Because of its shape, Kleftiko is also known as Meteora of the Sea, reminiscent of this unique landscape. Additionally, there are numerous caves that can be explored by boat or swimming. The bays used to be a pirate lair, where they would hide and attack hostile boats, while the caves were used as shelters to protect them from bad weather. The area actually got its name from the pirates, as Kleftiko means a bandit's lair. Furthermore, fishermen have mentioned that seals would inhabit the caves but have since moved because of the tourist influx. Kleftiko does not have much of a beach where visitors can place their towels or relax, as the enormous rocks dominate the scenery and sand is scarce. However, it showcases crystal-clear turquoise waters, ideal for swimming, diving and snorkeling in order to observe the majestic marine life of the Aegean Sea. One can also enter the numerous caves either with a small boat or while swimming.

Milos, Cyclades islands || Greece moodboards (6 / ?)

It's difficult to believe you are looking at something in nature. You sense the explosion that vaulted them from the sea. The feeling intensifies as you round the island through the day, the cliffs in their reds and yellows and blues and whites like immense abstract canvasses, encrusted rocks rising from the water stark as Giacomettis, massive white Moore-like forms with curves and ripples and holes. Then you round Vani on the north-western tip and turn into the harbour at sunset, passing towers of manganese and other volcanic rock in black, blue and green, patterned like snakeskin. The island has become a gallery. It is thought that a singer and sculptor named Alexandros, from Antioch, carved the Venus. Milos from the water appears like a monumental act of the imagination, something an artist would do if they were a god. Then, at twilight, you touch gently down at Adamas, the taverna lights calling you in. - Timothy O’ Grady for CN Traveller
