One day cruise to the west and South of Milos

Our adventure stars in the Port of Adamantas to the inaccessible West and South side of Milos combining the stunning view of the bay of Adamantas with 4 swim stops at the best spots along the way.

Sailing close to the east coast of the bay, we will pass the first Christian catacombs and the colorful villages of Skinopi, Klima, the capital of ancient Milos, where the statue of Venus de Milo was discovered, after Areti and Fourkovouni. Next we will reach Arkoudes, the stunning 20ft bear-shaped rocks at the entrance of the bay to the east. Then we will reach Cape Vani, an impressive 30-meter tall rock that marks the west entrance of the bay that was home to one of the first mineral mines of Milos.

After seeing the old 19th-century mines quay, we will have our first stop for swimming at the bay of Kalogries in crystal clear turquoise waters. After our swim and having some fresh fruit, cakes, and refreshments we set sail for Sykia, the biggest and most impressive cave of Milos. We anchor in the clear green waters of a bay nearby which used to be a volcano crater. After a quick swim, we will take our small motor-boat under a low passage, made of lava rocks, and visit the cave. Inside is a salt lake with crystal clear waters and a small beach, which in combination with the collapsed roof that reveals a patch of blue sky letting the sunlight in, creates a landscape that will leave you speechless.

Back to the boat, it's OUZO time! The most famous Greek spirit combined with a variety of Greek homemade tapas is a customary way to socialize, make friends, and enjoy the summer.

Finally we reach Kleftiko, the old pirates-lair! This unique complex of white and grey rocks that form arches and caves, in combination with the crystalline emerald green and turquoise waters is one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. Snorkeling here is an amazing experience…underwater passages, caves, and unsurpassed water clarity allowing you to see as far as the eye can reach! We provide you with masks, flippers, and underwater cameras and after a few tips what you can do, let you swim and explore. Getting back to the boat, refreshments, and ice-cold beers or traditional ouzo will be waiting for you and will be followed by a delicious meal and desert. After we eat we take our dinghy and go explore the unique, diverse, beauty of Kleftiko caves and passages and take pictures.

Leaving Kleftiko we head east towards our last stop. The north winds blowing from the land combined with the absence of waves on the south side, allow us to turn off the engine and go on a beautiful, fast sail till we reach Gerakas bay. This bay - considered one of the islands’ best - is also known as ‘Ammotsoulhthres’, meaning sand slides, and offers a stunning landscape where perlite cataracts forming a white beach and fluorescent green waters. After a short swim, we get back to the boat where fresh fruit is waiting for us before we take off.

Our cruise ends in the beautiful tranquil bay of Provatas around 19:00 hrs. where your return is arranged by private transfer, taking only 15 minutes to the departure point and it is included in the price.

Greca Tip: Don't forget your bathing suit and sunscreen for an unforgettable day on the beaches of Milos.
