Shaped like a horseshoe, the island was formed by volcanic activity which left behind dramatic cliffs and hidden beaches carved from soft white rock. Visitors often find their first glimpse of Milos unforgettable, especially at Sarakiniko Beach where smooth, chalk-white formations contrast with the vivid blue water.
