Sykia is an extraordinary roofless sea cave located on the west coast of Milos island. The cave was formed after its roof collapsed, creating a circular skylight that allows the sun to illuminate the emerald waters inside. There is a tiny shingle beach at the back of the cave where visitors can rest. Because it is only accessible by boat, it remains a hidden gem compared to the famous Sarakiniko beach. The experience of swimming in the crystal-clear water while looking up at the high rock walls is truly magical. It is an ideal spot for nature lovers and those seeking a serene, private swimming experience away from organized beaches. This spot is perfect for travelers who enjoy boat trips and snorkeling.
