HOW TO GET TO FYRIPLAKA BEACH MILOS GREECE?
The best way to reach Milos Firiplaka and other attractions on the island is to rent a scooter, ATV, or car for the day and make your way over to Firiplaka Milos.
There are a number of places to organize a scooter, ATV, and car rental in Milos which can all be found within walking distance as soon as you step off the ferry in the main harbor-side town of Adamantas.
Scooter rental Milos:
I personally rented my scooter from Nicki Motors and found them to be the most affordable and reliable.
From €25 per day, Nicki Motors offers scooter rentals and ATV rentals, but not car rentals.
Car rental Milos:
If you would prefer to rent a car in Milos, it’s best to book online in advance to secure a set of wheels for when you arrive.

WHAT IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT FIRIPLAKA BEACH?
The best time to visit is early morning to beat the crowds or, if you stick around long enough, Fyriplaka Beach is a great location to watch the sunset!
Not a bad way to finish off a full day of beach hopping in Milos!
WHAT TO EXPECT AT FYRIPLAKA MILOS
Straw umbrellas line the long stretch of beach at Fyriplaka, which you’ll find is the only means of shade at this location so they tend to get occupied very quickly.
Best to bring your own beach umbrella and quick-dry travel towel to lay out on the sand if you plan to stay here for a while.
The most iconic feature at Firiplaka Beach is the enormous rocky outcrop about halfway along the bay. There is a natural archway carved into the rock that is possible to swim through.
The water is only about shoulder height so it’s perfectly safe to go inside the cave for a closer look.
Apart from this, you can find smaller rock pools and lagoons at one end of Fyriplaka Beach which is ideal for snorkeling.
Lastly, you’ll also find a beach bar (Firiplaka Beach Bar) where you can get drinks and snacks, and that adds to the experience!
