Papikinou beach in Milos

Near Adamas is Papikinou beach, which is a very long and rather narrow beach. The beach is walking distance from Adamas and therefore it can be very crowded during high season. Compared to many other Milos beaches, Papikinou is a rather mediocre sandy beach. But there is plenty of shade from tamarisk trees. Here is the very popular taverna O! Hamos, which attracts many lunch guests.

If you continue after Papikinou beach, towards the airport, you will soon reach a small beach. If you are lucky, one or several pits are dug in the sand. If you're unlucky, you have to dig a pit for yourself. Anyway, there are hot springs under the sand.

The pits are filled automatically with water (rising up from the sand) and then it starts to get really fun. Lie down in a pit and enjoy the hot water. The minerals contained in the water is said to cure all sorts of diseases, including rheumatism.
