Milos Cruise on Sailing Boat with Lunch

If you have only one day in Milos then this is how you should spend it!

Our Milos cruise on a sailing boat covers half of the island; the inaccessible west side of Milos, Kleftiko, the cave of Sykia and sightseeing in the bay of Adamantas, making 4 swim stops at the best spots along the way.

A day of sightseeing, swimming, exploring the majestic Kleftiko and the cave of Sykia, sunbathing or just relaxing on the hammock listening to music and having a drink under the boat’s shaded area, this cruise will definitely be the highlight of your Milos vacation.

Starting from Adamantas, the first part of our trip includes sightseeing in the bay of Adamantas. Sailing close to the east coast of the bay, we will pass the first Christian catacombs and the colourful village of Klima, where the statue of Venus de Milo was discovered. While you take beautiful photos you can also learn some historical facts and myths about the island, as a part of our guided tour. We will then reach the ‘Arkoudes’, the impressive 20ft bear-shaped rocks at the entrance of the bay to the east.

With the wind in our sails, we will reach Cape Vani. This impressive 30-meter tall rock that marks the west entrance of the bay was home to one of the first mineral mines of Milos. After seeing the old 19th-century mines quary, we will have our first swim at the bay of Kalogries in crystal clear turquoise waters. Here we spent about 20 minutes.

Following our swim and some delicious snacks we set sail for Sykia, the biggest and most impressive cave of Milos. We anchor in the clear green waters of a bay nearby for a swim and take our small motorboat to visit the cave. We spent about 1 hour here.

Getting back to the boat, refreshments and ice-cold beers or traditional ouzo ccompanied by some delicious snacks will be waiting for you. 

Next stop is Kleftiko; the old pirates-lair, where we spent approximately 2hours ! This unique complex of white and grey rocks that form arches and caves, in combination with the crystalline emerald turquoise waters is one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world! Snorkelling here is an amazing experience. We provide you with masks, flippers and after a few tips on what you can do, let you swim and explore.

You can also try Stand-Up paddling here. We will then take our dinghy and go explore the unique, diverse beauty of Kleftiko caves and take pictures. Getting back to the boat we will have our lunch.

We then will start making our way back to Adamas port, provided there is time, we will make a short 15-minute swim stop at the bay of Agios Dimitrios with a beautiful view of the Milos caldera.
