Kleftiko cove was definitely a highlight during our trip to Milos. The best way to get there by foot is by renting a quad to drive all the way across the island, followed by a four hour hike through uneasy terrain. Don’t forget to bring lots of water, because the heat is almost unbearing. © ULLI MAIER & NISA MAIER
