This is an ideal route for hiking in one of the most impressive landscapes of Milos, about 4.5 km long. Its starting point is the coastal settlement of Agios Konstantinos and its end is Sarakiniko. The path is not visible along its entire length, but you will not have any problems because your path is parallel to the coast, on passable flat rocks.
The settlement of Agios Konstantinos is located in a small fjord and offers basic protection from the weather. At the southern edge of the settlement, a cross protrudes from the rock and below, dug into the soft rock, is the church of Agios Konstantinos.
Following the dirt road that descends to the beach 200 m west of the settlement, you start your hiking route.

About 200 m. After the beach of Agios Konstantinos, the second small cape you meet is cracked and cut off from the trunk of Milos. This small island is called Kofto by the locals and hosts a small colony of silver gulls. The island of Kofto has been cut off from the coast due to the combination of these faults. The layers of kissiri dominate as far as Mytakas.
Continuing to the west, you reach the sandy beach of the settlement of Mytaka. Leaving this beach, you walk on tuffs with the same toasty vegetation, only now scattered, usually young, scattered cedar individuals can be seen. All the small beaches you will find up to Sarakiniko are planted with salt.

Arriving in Sarakiniko, you will see one of the most characteristic landscapes of Milos on the north coast of the island. The white rocks of volcanic origin that form small and large caves in the sea reflect the light of the sun during the day and the moon at night, creating the impression of a lunar landscape. The bay with the small sandy beach in its innards offers rest to the eye from the dazzling whiteness of the landscape, which is intensified by the lack of green in the surrounding area.
The rain water that flows in the gorge towards the sea, between the white soft rocks, has sculpted the riverbed in a wonderful way. The intricate water eateries are an enjoyable attraction for those who decide to walk, but with some difficulty, often, in the depths of the small ravine. From the coast of Sarakinikos you ascend to the path that leads in a southern direction to the parking lot and the bus stop, to return to your base.
