Sarakiniko

Sarakiniko is one of the most otherworldly spots in the Aegean — white volcanic rock sculpted by wind and sea into smooth, lunar formations lines the northern coast of Milos, about 5km from the capital Plaka. You anchor off and swim in crystal-clear, cold water surrounded by this surreal landscape. It looks like a film set, but it's very much real, and it's one of those places that genuinely stops you in your tracks.
