Firopotamos is a stunning fishing village and beach on the northern coast of Milos, about 4 km from Plaka. It’s famous for its turquoise waters, traditional “syrmata” (boat garages), and peaceful vibe, making it a perfect spot for relaxing and taking amazing photos.

Why Visit Firopotamos?

  • Crystal-Clear Blue Waters: The bay is incredibly beautiful, with calm, shallow waters perfect for swimming.
  • Traditional Fishing Village: Like Mandrakia, Firopotamos has colorful syrmata where fishermen store their boats in the winter.
  • Small but Scenic Beach: There’s a sandy and pebbly beach area with a few trees for shade.
  • Church of Agios Nikolaos: A picturesque white and blue Greek Orthodox church adds to the charm of the village.
  • Quiet & Relaxing Atmosphere: It’s usually less crowded than famous beaches like Sarakiniko, making it a great escape.

What to Do in Firopotamos

  • Swim in the clear blue sea – the water is amazing!
  • Take photos of the syrmata and fishing boats.
  • Walk up to the church of Agios Nikolaos for stunning views of the bay.
  • Snorkeling around the rocky parts of the bay is great because of the clear water.
