A Half-Day Cruise Along the Most Spectacular Coastline in the Aegean

Milos is best seen from the water. Its most iconic landscapes - the white rock arches of Kleftiko, the collapsed cave of Sykia, the painted syrmata villages along the waterfront - are either unreachable by land or completely transformed when approached by sea.

Our Milos small group boat cruise follows the full western coastline of the island, with long stops for swimming, snorkelling through the sea caves of Kleftiko, and a freshly prepared lunch served on board. The group is kept small by design - intimate enough to feel personal, never enough to feel like a crowd. We depart from Adamas port in the afternoon and return after sunset, giving you the best light of the day on the water. Guests joining from the Milos cruise port are welcome - your transfer to Adamas is easy to arrange and we will guide you through the details at booking.

This cruise is perfect for couples and small families looking for a relaxed day on the water, cruise passengers with a full day ashore in Milos, and travellers who want to see Kleftiko without joining a large group tour. If you want to swim, eat well, and watch the sun go down from the sea - this is your day.

Departure from Adamas Port

Meet us at our office at Adamas port at 08:45 for a 09:20 departure. We set off along the coastline, leaving Milos Bay behind as we pass the traditional fishing villages of Skinopi, Klima, Areti and Fourkovouni — their colourful syrmata houses built directly by the water's edge.

Arkoudes, Cape Vani & Sykia Cave

We visit Arkoudes, a striking formation of lava rocks shaped - as its name suggests - like a bear. With the sails open, we head to the impressive Cape Vani and our first swim stop at Kalogries, a natural bay ideal for diving straight from the catamaran into exceptionally clear water. We then continue to the cave of Sykia, where a collapsed roof creates a natural skylight - one of the most unusual geological sights on the island.

Kleftiko - The Pirates' Bay

Our main swim stop is Kleftiko - the legendary pirates' bay - with its white volcanic cliffs, turquoise waters, and labyrinth of sea caves. Our crew will guide you to the best spots for swimming and snorkelling, where the underwater rock formations and colours are unlike anywhere else on the island. After your swim, a freshly prepared lunch is served on board by our crew.

Gerakas, Sulphur Mines & Poliegos Lagoon

We continue to the wild and largely inaccessible beach of Gerakas, known for its natural thermal springs along the shoreline. Sailing past the abandoned Sulphur Mines - a hauntingly beautiful relic of the island's industrial past - we reach our final swim stop: the Galazia Nera lagoon in Poliegos. The geological formations here create a sheltered natural pool where the water is shallow, still, and an extraordinary shade of blue.

Return via Kimolos & Disembarkation at Pollonia

We make our way back passing the islands of Kimolos and Agios Eustathios, arriving at Pollonia dock at around 19:00. A vehicle will be waiting to transfer all guests back to Adamas.

Where does the cruise depart from?

The cruise departs from Adamas Port, the main harbour of Milos. If you are arriving by cruise ship, tender boats will bring you directly to the Adamas pier - our meeting point is just a short walk from where you land. We can also arrange a private vehicle transfer from your hotel straight to the boat if you are staying elsewhere on the island.

What time does the cruise start and finish?

We depart from Adamas at approximately 15:30 and return just after sunset, typically between 20:00 and 20:30 depending on the month. This timing is specifically chosen to catch the softest daylight on the rock formations and to experience the sunset from the water on the return journey.

Is food and drink included?

Yes. A fresh meal is prepared on board by our crew and is fully included in the price. You can expect local ingredients, fresh seafood or grilled fish, traditional salads, and bread. Complimentary wine, beer, soft drinks, and water are available throughout the trip.

How many people are on board?

This is a small-group, semi-private experience designed for comfort - not a crowded party boat. We strictly limit the number of guests based on the vessel's size to ensure that everyone has personal space on deck, a comfortable spot to relax, and an unhurried experience at our swim stops in Kleftiko and along the west coast.

Can you arrange hotel or cruise port transfers?

Yes. While the cruise departs from Adamas Port, we can arrange a return transfer from any hotel on the island or from the cruise terminal to the boat — and back again at the end of the day. This service is not included in the cruise price but can be easily added when making your reservation.
