Milos: The Cave of Sykia with the hole roof

No matter how much you travel in Greece, images and sights of either nature or man will always come in front of you that will leave you with your mouth open. And this happens all year round. Having a more summery mood, today we will travel to a corner of Greece with sea and a cave with a huge hole overlooking the sky. The spectacle is extremely impressive and makes you travel all year round. The sea cave is located on a small beach on the island of Milos and is called the cave of Sykia. Milos is generally famous for its impressive formations that create many idyllic lunar landscapes. One of them, then, is the cave of Sykia on the homonymous beach. A fascinating corner is ideal for relaxation and photos...

Cave of Sykia: The cave with... holes ceiling facing the sky

The small beach and cave of Sykia are located on the west side of Milos. If you happen to be there, the photos will seem few compared to the spectacle you will see. What makes this beach special is that its cave is not closed but instead has a hole in the roof that sees the endless blue sky. There used to be a roof there.

What characterizes it and makes it particularly special is the fact that part of the roof of the sea cave over the years has collapsed. So he has created a hole in the roof that looks to the sky. Inside the cave, there is this small but extremely impressive beach. A pebbly beach with crystal clear waters. Why is this cave so-called? Its name is due, according to many, to the fact that very close to the opening of the roof there is a fig tree. And indeed that may be the reason for the name. The name, after all, has much less meaning than the image one sees.

Remember that if you have ever been on the island, you will be able to reach this beach only by sea.

This, however, is not the only surprise that Milos hides. It is an island that constantly surprises you because of its geomorphology. It is no coincidence that you will also hear one of its beaches called "Sea Meteora" There you will see a uniquely beautiful set of grayish-white rocks with strange forms and formations. Something that you will see in other corners of the island. Kleftiko, Sarakiniko, and Tsigrado leave you with your mouth open. You can imagine how you might have been on another planet but... with the beauty of Greece.
