Route 1

Route: Chorio - Seladi - Mavrodassos - Ellinika Beach

Degree of difficulty: easy

At the upper edge of the village, after the OTE office (signpost, photo 9), follow the cement road to the left and then a trail starting along the stream, that ends higher on the dirt road, which you follow for 1 km until the beginning of the cobbled path.

The path descends and continues in the dry riverbed.

Soon you leave the riverbed and go up among tall dry stone walls - this place is called Mavrodassos.

The olive groves are slowly thinning and the view over the northern coast of Milos unfolds in front of you.

The path continues between terraces, while on your left you can still see the stream. After a while you will see the Ellinika beach from above and reach it from a dirt road.

Return: From Ellinika beach you can walk to Dekas beach and take the bus to Chorio.

There is also a possibility to continue from Ellinika beach (photo 1) to Mavrospilia beach.
