Semi-Private Full-day Sailing Tour on the West Coast of Milos from Adamas

Swim at the famous beach of Kalogries, enter the cave of Sykia and snorkel in Kleftiko on this full-day cruise to the inaccessible parts of the west of Milos. Welcoming adventurers of all ages on this family-friendly experience!

Milos is a beautiful Greek island located in the Aegean Sea. Due to its volcanic activity, the island boasts interesting and unique rock formations, sea caves, and landscapes. A boat trip is a great way to discover this charming island!

The boat adventure begins at the starting point in Adamas, the main port of Milos. You'll be welcomed on board the 45′-13,5m sailing boat, which holds a maximum of 10 passengers. The boat is equipped with deck seating and showers, large shaded areas with hammocks, WiFi, and a JBL speaker that you can connect to. Once everyone is on board, the skipper will set sail from Adamas!

The first part of the trip consists of sightseeing in Adamantas Bay. You will pass the first Christian catacombs and the colourful villages of Skinopi, Klima (the capital of ancient Milos and where the statue of Venus de Milo was discovered), Areti and Fourkovouni. While you take beautiful photos the guide will share facts and insights about the history of this area. Then, you'll reach Arkoudes, the impressive 20ft (6m) bear-shaped rocks at the entrance of the bay to the east.

With the wind in the sails, you'll reach Cape Vani. This impressive 30-metre (98-foot) 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 quay, you'll have the first swim at the bay of Kalogries in crystal clear turquoise waters. After swimming and enjoying some fresh fruit, cakes and refreshments, you'll set sail for Sykia, the biggest and most impressive cave of Milos.

The boat will anchor in the clear green waters of a nearby bay which used to be a volcano crater. After a quick swim, you'll take a small motorboat under a low passage made of lava rocks, and visit the cave. Within lies a saltwater lake with crystal clear waters and a small beach. The cave has a collapsed roof, creating an opening to the blue sky and the sunlight above. Snacks and drinks will be waiting for you upon your return to the boat.

Finally, you'll reach Kleftiko, which was once an old pirate hideout. This unique rock formation of arches and caves in combination with the crystalline emerald green waters is one of the most distinctive landscapes in the world! You'll have the opportunity to snorkel here and explore its underwater passages and caves. The crystal-clear waters allow for incredible visibility! Snorkelling equipment and underwater GoPro cameras are also provided. 

Back on the boat, refreshments and ice-cold beers or traditional ouzo and a delicious traditional meal will be waiting for you. After eating, you'll take the motorboat and explore the unique and diverse beauty of Kleftiko caves and passages and take pictures. You can also try stand up paddling here! At the end of the full-day trip, you'll sail back to the starting point in Adamas. 

Enjoy a full-day adventure exploring the west coast of Milos, including Kalogries Beach, Sykia Cave, and Kleftiko, on a semi-private sailing trip!
