Papafragas Beach on Milos Island

Παραλία Παπαφράγκας, Μήλος

Milos Island is part of the chain called the Cyclades.

The fame of the area rests upon a "miniature fjord." There is a long, narrow channel only several meters wide, enclosed around by a mostly vertical pale volcanic cliff-face. This narrow channel mixes with the open Aegean through an opening in the rock

There's a small sandy beach that's part of this unique geographic arrangement. There are in total three adjoining cave/inlet formations, rather than one single "Papafragas Cave." Wind, wave erosion from sea action moving upon Milos's relatively soft volcanic material formed the famous beach and rock formations.
