Kleftiko

A Landscape Carved by Nature, A Culture Carried by Time

Kleftiko is not just a place—it’s one of Milos’ most iconic landmarks, accessible only by sea. Towering white cliffs rise from turquoise waters, sculpted by time into arches, caves, and towering formations that feel almost otherworldly.

Once used as a hideout by pirates, the area still holds an air of mystery, with its hidden coves and narrow passages waiting to be explored. Today, it’s a haven for swimmers, snorkelers, and those seeking the quiet magic of the island’s wildest edge.
