Sarakiniko: The interplay of smooth white rocks, inlets, cliffs, sea caves and an island, create a unique seaside playground .  The name Sarakiniko, means "place of Pirates", as legend has it that the caves were once used as smugglers' hideaway's.  The rocks are composed of soft volcanic ash are among the oldest volcanic products on Milos.  The volcanic ash erupted from a nearby volcano and then was deposited in the sea, settling to the bottom to form layers.  This is evidenced by the presence of numerous shell fossils that can be easily found.
