Milatos Port Beach is a small and charming seaside spot beside the traditional fishing harbour of Milatos village, in North Mirabello. With colourful fishing boats, clear blue water and the village surrounding the little harbour, it offers a more authentic Cretan atmosphere than the larger resort beaches of the area.
The beach has a mainly pebbly shore with some sandy areas, while the clear waters are ideal for a refreshing swim when the sea is calm. Water shoes are recommended, especially around the rocky areas. After your swim, take a walk around the harbour or sit at one of the nearby tavernas and enjoy fresh seafood with a view of the boats and the Cretan coast.
Milatos Port is particularly enjoyable in the morning or late afternoon, when the atmosphere is peaceful and the harbour takes on a beautiful, relaxed character. It is a lovely place to combine swimming, a traditional seaside meal and a taste of authentic village life.
