Approximately 1km east, at position Pigada, you'll find SMALL ISOLATED BAYS with narrow strips of sand, surrounded by HIGH VERTICAL CLIFFS - ideal for isolation, although waves are usually very high. The main beach of Milatos (just before harbor) is fairly large with pebbles and rocks, unorganized but close to village amenities, also influenced by waves.
