Milos, Greece
Sarakiniko Beach

The extra-terrestrial “Moon on Earth” beach.

This is the famous beach renowned for its unique volcanic rocks. These glacial-like rock formations will transport you to Antarctica as you wander between them, or as you look across the expansive structure you will understand why many wax lyrical about the Moon Beach. The undulating landscape looks as if a piece of the Moon fell onto Earth to create this alien lunar experience, while the sharp contrast between the dazzling white rocks and intense aqua blue waters seems like a surreal Impressionist depiction of what the Moon would look like if it had water. These structures extend into the sea, making for a good many spots for cliff diving.


If the rocks get too hot for your liking, simply jump off the edge into the sea for a quick cool down! You could also bring out your inner scavenger to explore the unique cube-shaped tunnels within the rocks, allegedly dug by pirates to hide their loot! For those seeking unique photo opportunities, visit the beach at sunrise or sunset for the best photos. The contrasting rocks against the sea will be the most unique landscape you’ve ever seen. Now, tell me, why would you pay to fly to the moon when you can simply visit Sarakiniko Beach?
