A Closer Look at the Itinerary and What You’ll Experience

Start Point and Timing

The adventure kicks off bright and early at 9:00 am from the designated meeting point in Adamantas, a convenient spot easily accessible by public transport or local taxis. The total cruising time is around an hour each way, giving you ample opportunity to enjoy the scenery as the crew prepares you for a memorable morning on the water.

Traditional Fishing Village

The tour begins with a visit to one of Milos’ traditional fishing villages. Here, you’ll get a glimpse of local life, with quaint houses and a peaceful atmosphere that sets the tone for the day. The storytelling by your crew can include the village’s history, giving you context about the island’s fishing roots.

Cape Vani – A Photographic Marvel

Next, you’ll encounter Cape Vani, a striking landmark that often appears in photos of Milos. Its silhouette looks like delicate filigree from afar but is actually a rugged promontory with a dramatic 20-meter-high cliff. This spot is perfect for quick photos and soaking in the natural beauty that defines the island’s coastline.

Kalogries Beach – A Secluded Paradise

Kalogries Beach is the first swim stop, and it’s easy to see why it’s popular among locals and visitors alike. Surrounded by volcanic rocks with moss-covered interesting formations, the shallow, calm waters resemble a giant, natural swimming pool. The bright turquoise hues and smooth sandy seabed make it ideal for a peaceful dip. With around 45 minutes here, you’ll have enough time to relax, paddle, or simply enjoy the scenery.

Sikia Beach – Inside a Unique Cave

One of the coolest parts of this tour is Sikia Beach, located within a roofless cave. This spot is truly one-of-a-kind — you get to swim in crystal waters, surrounded by white rock formations, with the backdrop of a cavernous sky above. Jumping off small cliffs or just lounging on pebbles, you’ll appreciate the privacy and serenity here, with the crew sometimes adjusting plans for weather conditions. Reviewers note that “swimming in the blue lagoon was amazing” and that the water was “so clear and blue,” highlighting the pristine quality of this hidden gem.

Kleftiko Bay – The Showstopper

The pièce de résistance is Kleftiko, often called the highlight of Milos trips. This area, with its volcanic rocks and caves, has been shaped by erosion over thousands of years. The three small bays created by natural forces make for dramatic scenery, perfect for picture-taking and exploring. You’ll spend about an hour and a half here, giving plenty of time for swimming, snorkeling, and marveling at the landscape. Reviewers praise the “stunning views” and “crystal-clear waters,” making it clear this spot lives up to its reputation.

Return and Relaxation

As the trip winds down, the crew will share stories and answer questions, adding a local flavor to your experience. The return cruise offers a chance to relax, take photos, and discuss your favorite moments before heading back to the starting point in Adamantas.

What’s Included and What to Bring

The tour covers many essentials, ensuring you don’t need to worry about extra costs or logistics. Included are breakfast (a granola bowl with yogurt, honey, and banana), brunch (a freshly made sandwich with ham and cheese), and plenty of snacks and drinks like seasonal fruit, wine, beer, bottled water, and soda. The use of snorkeling equipment is also part of the package, so even beginners can enjoy underwater exploration.

However, travelers should remember to bring towels, swimwear, suncream, and a hat — these aren’t provided but are vital for comfort and protection, especially during the sunny months.

The Boat and Crew

The boat, a modern Saxdor 320 GTO (2023 model), is praised for its luxury and speed, making the cruise comfortable and swift. The small group size (up to 11) is a real plus, allowing for a more intimate experience where you can easily chat with the crew and fellow travelers. The crew’s stories and friendly attitude are often highlighted as a key part of the trip, adding insight into Milos’ myths, land, and history.

Pricing and Value

At around $276.67 per person, this tour offers good value given what’s included. You’re paying for a well-organized, scenic cruise with plenty of swimming time, snacks, and expert commentary. The reviews confirm that many find it worth every penny — especially considering the exclusivity of spots like Sikia and Kleftiko, which can be difficult to access independently.

Authentic Insights from Reviewers

One reviewer, Thomas_A, called it “worth every penny,” emphasizing how swimming in the blue lagoon was “amazing” and praising the knowledge and friendliness of the captain. This highlights the quality of the crew and the experience’s overall value.

Who is This Tour Best For?

This trip is perfect if you crave adventure in a small-group setting, love crystal-clear waters, and don’t mind a short, energetic 4-hour window. It suits those eager to see Milos’ top coastal highlights without the hassle of planning multiple excursions. Families, couples, or friends who enjoy snorkeling, relaxing on beautiful beaches, and listening to local stories will find it especially rewarding.

Travelers should be comfortable with boat rides and prepared to be outdoors in the sun, but the inclusion of snacks and drinks makes this a more relaxed and enjoyable outing.
