P	Pavlos Foskolakis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "Thiorichia" is one of the most emblematic beaches on Milos. With green-yellow semi-transparent waters (due to active minerals), with rusty-gold sand throughout the long beach, and surrounded by the old mines and buildings, its highly recommended to visit at least once, when on the island. It used to be the place where locals extracted sulfur and directly loaded it onto the boats to be further sold, and also had dormitories for them to sleep over for days before they could take the donkeys and ride back to "Chora" (the main village) for supplies, mainly on the weekends. Beware of some very difficult roads before you are able to reach the beach. DONT drive completely down the road; once you start seeing the beach from the cliff above, there is some open space (right on a corner) where you should leave your car, as it gets quite harder on the last ~100 meters before the beach. Going with a jeep (4×4) is much better. Its worth the rough drive. Bring water/food/umbrellas as there is nothing down there. Some of the boats that go around the island will pass and even stop there too.
E	Emma Sh on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing place! Hard to get to, difficult roads with rocks but we made it in a fiat (be prudent). Walked the last 1km. Careful in the water not to step on some rusty metals!!! Great places to climb! Bring water there are no shops nearby
s	skonix on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent view and nice beach. Use a four wheel drive car otherwise you may get stuck. The road isn't good.
G	George Zed on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A unique proposition for a beach experience. Beautiful landscape despite the relics of a past long gone. Make it one of 10 Milos beaches to visit. Leave the car up there with rest. And always respect the beach, leaving it cleaner if possible.
I	I. Lassal. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolutely unique experience. A wild landscape reminiscent of ghost towns, water quality is veey good, you’ll need something for the shade though. Pay it a visit on a not so windy day and you’ll have a great time.
L	Lilia Carrier on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Such a cool experience and definitely worth the trouble getting to. The old mine and factory still have tools in them, like stepping back in time. If you can, arrive by boat.
Ι	Ιάσονας Παυλίδης on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really astonishing place. If you are curious about abandoned industrial places, you will enjoy it. You can go by car until the beach. In some cases the road is narrow and will be difficult for two cars. We got there with a fiat panda easily. A shorter car may have difficulties.
A	Aurélien Cotard on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great experience at this old sulfur mine. It is like a ghost town with all the equipment and tools left there! Nice place to find sulfur mineral with its intense yellow!
