Images: Beach at Firopotamus; Tiny Church in Firopotamus; SL Climbing the Castel Stairs at Plaka; PJ and SL at the "Top of Milos" - The Summit at the Castle in PlakaToday we set out to find the tiny beach at Firopotamus (yes Mia and Kingston, it rhymes with hippopotamus!)
Our new bike handled the hills with ease and the trek paid off as we found ourselves at a small, secluded beach with a little hut that sold local wine, cheese and cold beer.
The beach was in a small cove surrounded by beautiful, coral-coloured rock formations, ruins of an ancient battlement, and a tiny, pristine church.
It was a good break from some of the strenuous hiking we had done the previous day.
We visited the capital city (small village actually) of Plaka, and climbed up the mountain to the top of the castle ramparts. This was where the inhabitants holed up when the pirates came to raid the island. The view is 360 degrees, making it a perfect lookout for barbarians.
It makes a breath-taking vantage point for surveying the entire island as well, and the scenery of Milos did not disappoint!
