Years of Experience
We depart from Agia Kyriaki Beach and head west along the southern coast — the most sheltered and dramatic stretch of Milos. Our first stop is the Kleftiko cave complex: towering white volcanic rock, swim-through caves and water in every shade of blue. We then round the western cape to visit Sykia, a collapsed sea cave with a natural skylight and extraordinary light. Multiple swimming stops included. This is the most popular Milos cruise for a reason — the combination of Kleftiko dramatic sea caves and Sykia natural skylight is unlike anywhere else in the Aegean. Book this tour if you only have one day on the water in Milos.
We depart from our exclusive floating dock at Agia Kyriaki Beach, setting sail along the stunning southern coastline of Milos — the most sheltered and dramatic stretch of the island. This area is home to some of the most beautiful and unspoiled beaches in the Cyclades, all protected from the wind, with crystal-clear waters and breathtaking volcanic scenery.
GERAKAS
Our first stop is Gerakas, a beach accessible only by boat. Here you will find white sand, crystal-clear blue water, and a striking backdrop of volcanic "slides" — huge sand cascades that spill down to a white strip of beach. Just above sits the volcano of Agia Kyriaki. Hidden caves line the beach where you can still see steam rising from the warm volcanic waters below.
TSIGRADO
Next we stop at Tsigrado — one of Milos' most secluded beaches. Tucked between towering cliffs, it can only be reached by boat or by descending a rope and ladder from above. Coming by sea is by far the better option, and you will understand why the moment you arrive.
KLEFTIKO
The highlight of the cruise. Kleftiko was once a hideout for pirates — and once you see it, you will understand the appeal. Towering white volcanic rock formations rise from the sea, creating a labyrinth of swim-through caves, arches, and hidden coves. The water here is every shade of blue imaginable. We stop for swimming, snorkelling, and photos — take your time, this place deserves it.
SYKIA
Our final stop is Sykia — a collapsed sea cave with no roof, where sunlight pours directly down into the chamber and illuminates the emerald water below. We enter by boat and the visual experience is extraordinary: a natural cathedral of rock and light, unlike anything else in the Aegean. One of the most photographed spots in all of Milos.
