Μετάφραση 
Located on the west coast of Milos, Sykia Cave is one of the island’s most breathtaking natural landmarks. What sets it apart is its partially collapsed roof, which forms a stunning natural skylight, allowing sunlight to filter through and illuminate the turquoise waters below. This unique formation likely resulted from an earthquake, creating a dramatic open-top cave with mesmerizing color contrasts.
Accessible only by boat, Sykia Cave is a must-visit for those seeking a secluded and unspoiled marine paradise. Smaller boats can enter the cave, revealing a hidden pebble beach with crystal-clear yet deep and chilly waters due to the limited sunlight. The cave is named after a fig tree (sykia in Greek) that grows near the opening.
During the summer months, daily boat tours bring visitors to this extraordinary sea cave, making it one of the top attractions in Milos
