This nine-hour catamaran cruise around Milos and Poliegos takes up to 22 guests on a spacious 44-foot Lagoon 440 boat with shaded seating and sunbathing areas. The trip includes snorkeling gear, two stand-up paddleboards, flotation devices, and lifejackets for safe swimming. The crew provides an open bar with alcoholic and carbonated drinks, bottled water, homemade snacks, and a BBQ lunch with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available on request. The cruise begins with a guided visit to Klima, the first capital of Milos, where guests can photograph the colorful fishing village and learn about the island’s history, including the discovery of the Venus de Milo statue. The boat then passes the Seagull Islands, known for their rare hexagonal rock formations, and the abandoned sulfur mines in southeast Milos, which were active until 1956. The first stop for swimming is Gerakas Beach, accessible only by boat, featuring clear emerald waters and large perlite sandslides, where the boat stays for 30 minutes. Next, the cruise passes Tsigrado Beach, famous for its difficult land access by ladders and ropes, allowing guests to photograph it from the boat. The main stop is at Poliegos Island’s Blue Lagoon (Galazia Nera), where guests spend around 40 minutes swimming and enjoying a late breakfast in the clear fluorescent waters. The cruise continues to Kleftiko Beach for a 60-minute visit, a former pirate hideout with caves and underwater passages suitable for snorkeling and paddleboarding. During this stop, the crew uses a GoPro camera to take photos, including underwater shots, which are sent to guests after the trip. The boat also passes Milos’s largest cave before stopping for 30 minutes at Kalogries Beach, an isolated bay with clear turquoise waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling. The final stop is Cape Vani, where guests can see the abandoned 19th-century manganese and iron mine with distinct black and ruby-red rock layers while the crew shares its history. The itinerary may change depending on weather and safety conditions.
