Milos, Aegean, Greece

Paralia Gerontas

Paralia Gerontas is a picturesque beach located at the end of a long gravel road. The journey to the beach involves a 10-15 minute walk from the parking area at the top of the hill, which can be challenging due to the steep and rocky terrain. Despite the challenging access, the beach is well worth the effort, offering a quiet and serene environment with interesting rock formations and a natural rock bridge.

The beach is characterized by its black sand, which can get quite hot under the sun. It is a great spot for snorkeling and is surrounded by a beautiful natural environment. However, there are no amenities such as showers or water available on the beach.

The beach can be reached by car via a secondary road, which is manageable with a regular car. However, the last 200 meters of the access road and the footpath leading to the beach can be damaged by rainfall, making them steep and unsafe.

Despite its remote location, the beach can get crowded when tourist boats make a stop. On a typical day, there may be around 12 people on the beach.
