Full-Day Cruises in Milos

One of the most exciting experiences in Milos is touring the entire island by boat. This full-day adventure takes you to the island’s most breathtaking spots- secluded beaches inaccessible by car and landscapes that look like they’ve been lifted straight from a postcard.

Where do Milos boat cruises start?

Departing from the port, these cruises take you to places that are truly beyond words. Most excursions offer a full day of exploring Milos and the uninhabited island of Polyaigos, complete with a delicious meal and refreshing drinks along the way. You’ll make a stop for swims in crystal-clear turquoise waters and take in some of the island’s most stunning landscapes. Departing from Adamas, you’ll sail past the bay’s colorful fishing villages and the striking “Arkoudes” rock formations at the harbor’s entrance.

Where does the Milos cruise stop during the trip?

In northern Milos, you’ll encounter the stunning Sarakiniko, known for its white, lunar-like landscape. As you pass through Glaronisia, you’ll get a close-up view of the volcanic rock formations that create a truly unique natural wonder. The first swimming stop is usually at Polyaigos, an untouched paradise with crystal-clear waters. From there, you’ll head to the eastern side of Milos, where you can see the old sulfur mines at Thiorichia and learn about their fascinating history.

Continuing the journey, you will stop for a swim in the magnificent, emerald waters of Gerakas, before reaching the famous Kleftiko, the historic pirate refuge. There, you will enjoy a unique experience of swimming and exploring the sea caves with a mask and snorkel. After your swim, a meal is typically served on board- featuring fresh seafood, crisp salads, and local delicacies that perfectly complement the experience. All of this unfolds in a dreamlike setting, surrounded by striking white cliffs and turquoise waters.

Another highlight is Sykia Cave, a natural wonder with an open roof that allows sunlight to flood its interior. Next, you’ll explore western Milos- an area accessible only by boat. On some cruises, you’ll also visit the old manganese mine at Cape Vani, a site of significant geological interest.

How long does the Milos cruise last?

Full-day cruises typically last between 6 to 8 hours, giving you ample time to enjoy the endless blue waters and the island’s unique natural beauty. Routes are adjusted based on weather conditions to ensure both your safety and the best possible experience.

Half-Day Cruises in Milos

If you’re not a fan of full-day excursions or want to fit in other activities during the day, there are shorter options available! You can opt for a route to western Milos, where you’ll visit some of the island’s most impressive spots- just in less time.

Half-day cruises to Kleftiko

A mini cruise to Kleftiko is a great choice if you want to swim in sea caves and experience the surreal waters up close, without spending the entire day at sea. These cruises include time to swim in the calm waters of Gerontas Bay and Kleftiko and they last 4-5 hours.

Half-day cruises to Sarakiniko

Alternatively, you can choose a route along the island’s northern coast, exploring Sarakiniko and other lesser-known but equally stunning beaches. The half-day trips to Sarakiniko last 4-5 hours.

If you’re traveling with children or simply prefer a more relaxed experience, there are also options with larger, more stable boats that provide extra shade and comfort. This way, you can enjoy the cruise without worrying about long hours in the sun or the open sea.

Milos private boat tour

If you’re seeking something a bit more special, there are alternative options that elevate the experience. For instance, you can opt for a catamaran cruise, offering a more luxurious atmosphere and extra space to relax. Or, you could choose a sunset cruise, where you can enjoy the breathtaking sunset from the sea, with the sky’s colors reflected in the Aegean waters.

For the more adventurous, there’s also the option of a speedboat, allowing you to discover the hidden beaches of Milos worth discovering, in less time while feeling the adrenaline rush as you cut through the waves,
