ABOUT THIS TOUR

Sail along the southern coast of Milos — where volcanic cliffs meet the clearest Aegean blue. Your captain will guide you to hidden coves and natural sea caves accessible only by boat.

At Kleftiko, once a pirate refuge, swim through arches of white volcanic rock and explore a maze of luminous caves. Continue to Sikia, a roofless sea cave where sunlight pours into emerald water — an unforgettable, serene experience.
