Itinerary

The cruise begins from a designated meeting point in Milos, where guests board a luxury yacht or sailing vessel and receive a briefing before departure. The route is adjusted depending on weather and sea conditions to ensure a comfortable and safe journey.

The first stops typically include coastal highlights such as Sarakiniko or nearby swimming spots, where guests can enjoy the unique volcanic landscape and swim in clear waters. The cruise then continues toward Kleftiko, a famous sea cave system accessible only by boat, where there is time for swimming, snorkeling, and exploring the cliffs and rock formations.

Depending on conditions, the itinerary also includes a stop at Poliegos, an uninhabited island known for its striking blue waters and quiet coves. Here, guests can swim and relax in one of the most remote and scenic locations in the Cyclades before beginning the return journey to Milos.

Who is this experience best for

This cruise is best suited for travelers who want a more premium and less crowded way to explore Milos by sea. It is ideal for couples, small groups, and visitors who enjoy swimming, snorkeling, and spending a full day on the water with comfortable onboard service and a relaxed atmosphere.

Insider notes

Sea conditions can influence the exact order of stops, particularly around Kleftiko and Poliegos, which are exposed to wind. Bringing a light jacket is recommended, as it can feel cooler on the water even in summer. While the itinerary is scenic and varied, the highlight for many travelers is the combination of Kleftiko’s caves and Poliegos’ deep blue swimming spots, which are often less crowded than mainland beaches due to their boat-only access.
