Milos being in the western Cyclades, the Meltemi is slightly less intense than in the central Cyclades but remains very reliable. Wind picks up around 12-1 PM and blows until evening.

Hazards

Shore break in strong Meltemi. Swimmers in summer. Rocks at beach extremities. Kite centers provide safety in season.
