ABOUT THIS TOUR

Sail beyond Milos toward two quieter islands — where untouched landscapes meet calm, crystal-clear waters. Your captain will guide you to sheltered bays and pristine swim spots accessible only by boat.

At Poliegos, completely uninhabited, swim beneath limestone cliffs and explore vivid turquoise coves shaped by nature alone. Continue to Kimolos, where traditional boat houses and gentle shores offer a slower rhythm — a serene, unspoiled Cycladic experience.
