Agios Antonios & Mylos beach in Tilos

Agios Antonios Beach is halfway between Megalo Chorio and the Monastery of Agios Panteleimon. The beach is narrow and consists of pebbles mixed with gravel. In good weather, when the water is dead calm, Agios Antonios is a pretty good beach. The best part of the beach is under the renovated windmill. Agios Antonios is located between Megalo Chorio and Plaka beach.

Mylos beach is located between Agios Antonios and Plaka beach.

Somewhere in the sea off the beach, or in one of the small beach pockets, it is said to be remains of two petrified fishermen. According to a legend the fishermen was surprised by a volcanic eruption on the neighbouring island of Nisyros when they lay sleeping next to the beach.

Lava from the eruption reached Tilos and it ended up no better than that they had to sleep on the beach forever. I've been looking for the petrified fishermen, both on land and in the sea, but without result. There is a picture of the fishermen in the elephant museum outside Charkadios cave.

One of my favourite restaurants on Tilos is Taverna To Delfini in Agios Antonios. Here you can sit for a long time and enjoy good food and a meditative atmosphere. I have yet to dine here, but it is said to be absolutely wonderful to sit here in the evening and watch the sun go down.
