This nine-hour sailing boat cruise completes a full round of the island of Milos and includes a visit to the nearby island of Poliegos. The tour operates on a 47-foot sailing boat with a maximum of 12 passengers. The trip begins by sailing past Cape Vani, where guests can view the remains of a 19th-century manganese and iron mine characterized by black and ruby-red rock formations. The first stop is Kalogries Beach on the west side of Milos, where the boat anchors for 30 minutes. This allows time for swimming, snorkeling, and enjoying snacks and drinks provided on board. Next, the boat sails to Kleftiko Beach, spending one hour in this area known for its pirate history and distinctive white and grey rock formations. Snorkeling equipment is included, and the crew uses a GoPro camera to take photos, including underwater shots, which are emailed to guests after the trip. The cruise then continues to Gerakas Beach, accessible only by boat. Here, passengers have a 90-minute break to swim and eat lunch while surrounded by clear emerald waters and unique perlite sand formations. During the journey, the boat passes the old Sulfur Mines in southeast Milos, visible from the sea; these mines operated from 1856 to 1956. After Gerakas, the tour visits Poliegos, Greece’s largest uninhabited island. The boat stops for 30 minutes at Galazia Nera (Blue Waters), where guests can swim, snorkel, or optionally try stand-up paddling. Snacks and drinks are available during this stop. On the return trip, the boat stops at Klima, the first capital of Milos and the site where the Venus de Milo statue was discovered. Guests can take photos of the colorful fishing village and hear information about the island’s history. The final stop is the Seagull Islands, a rare geological formation of hexagonal lava tubes created by cooled lava. Throughout the day, guests can relax, sunbathe, swim, snorkel, and enjoy included refreshments such as carbonated beverages, bottled water, alcoholic drinks, fruit, snacks, and lunch. WiFi is available on board. Hotel pickup, towels, and gratuities are not included. The skipper may adjust the route or schedule due to weather or safety concerns, prioritizing passenger safety at all times.
