Cruises in Milos

Water Activities in Milos

We recommend you walk or sail to the Kleftiko and Sykia caves and swim in crystal clear waters. See why Kleftiko was the perfect pirate hideout. These two are unique sites and will leave you impressed.

Kleftiko Bay is larger than you might expect, with volcanic rock formations jutting out of the crystal-clear waters. Sykia is a small cave whose roof has collapsed and is only accessible when the sea is calm.

Water Sports in Milos

Milos offers the perfect weather conditions for windsurfing, especially in the bay of Milos. If you want to rent equipment and learn to windsurf, visit the Hang Loose Club at Papikinou Beach.

For wakeboarding, jet skiing and other sports, sports centers can be found on Paliochori beach. If you have your own equipment, you can have Achivadolimni beach pretty much to yourself.

Kayaking on Sarakiniko Beach

See a different side of Milos and get in some cardio at the same time. Kayak below the cliffs of Sarakiniko Beach and check this off your bucket list. There are several companies that have daily tours and a variety of routes.

Diving and Snorkeling in Milos

Diving is not the first thing on your mind when you think of Greece. While the Aegean Sea is not known for having many fish or sharks for that matter. You will find rocks, wrecks and some fish. You might even see the monk seal, Monachus. Dives are weather permitting. If you take a sailing or catamaran tour, the operators will provide you with equipment to snorkel at various beaches.

Scenic Points of Milos

Sunset from Agias Marina

It's hard to get a more impressive view of the island than from this hilltop church on the west side. Drive to Agias Marina church and enjoy.

The roads leading to the church are mostly dirt roads and can be rough at times, but it is drivable.

Adamas Lighthouse

A short walk from Adamas gives you an amazing view of the port city. There's a WWII memorial, a quiet park, and a lighthouse you can walk to. The view from the lighthouse is incredible.

Plaka also has many restaurants that have their own charm, but do not have sea views.

Getting Around in Milos

Despite having the allure of a small island, Milos is relatively large with many hidden corners to explore. By renting a car, you'll be able to hop onto the beach, explore the traditional fishing villages scattered around the island, and get off the beaten track, literally.

Choosing an ATV will give you access to more of the island, as some of the dirt roads are not car-friendly and are considered "rental-car no-service areas," meaning if you get stuck there, no one can assist you.
