Low-key Paros cove with clear water and rocky edges.
Makria Miti is a small natural cove on the east side of Aliki Bay, at the end of the narrow headland that closes the bay. The site is known for clear water, sandy patches, and rocky edges, with an easygoing profile that works well for beginner scuba or light snorkeling. It is close to Aliki, best treated as a low-key cove rather than an organized beach, and it suits visitors who want simple water access in a quiet setting.
