Thank you Elias and team for a fabulous day. Perfect experience. Cannot recommend highly enough!!!!
A fantastic day on a wonderful sailboat with an experienced and personable crew. Light breakfast, snacks, soft drinks, a great lunch along with some homemade wine and a refreshing taste of ouzo. Towels, float noodles and underwater camera cases all provided by the captain. Despite it being windy and having to limit our trip to the south side of Milos we had a fantastic time exploring caves and hard to reach swimming spots. 10/10 - definitely recommend this boat and crew.
Elias and his crew took us on an amazing full day, semi private, tour of Milos. Because of the strong winds, we started in the south, visited Tsigrado Beach and made our way to Kleftiko Bay, an amazing tucked away beach, Klima and finally ending in Adamas. Along the way, Elias shared history about the area and Milos. Snorkeling equipment and towels were provided and the boat was very comfortable. Amazing food and drinks, breakfast, lunch, snacks and ouzo with mezze was served. It has been the highlight of our trip to Greece!
This was an amazing trip! From start to finish, everyone including the captain was very friendly and hospitable. He really knew the places to go, and more importantly, when. Every spot we stopped at we had the best spot and we always got to the location before the crowds of boats showed up. I highly recommend Oneiro!
Despite having strong winds which forced our trip to depart as well as stay on the southern side of Milos our family had a fantastic time on this day cruise. We were transported from the port to the south where we were greeted by a friendly and informative crew. After boarding we travelled about an hour to our first swim spot. Snorkels, tubes, waterproof camera cases and towels were all provided. After a quick snack of fresh fruit we hit the second swim spot followed by a delicious lunch. Then it was off to our final spot where the captain also grilled some octopus and provided ouzo to celebrate our day. All together a great day with a professional crew that takes pride in showing you the best of Milos. Thank you crew for a fantastic and memorable day! We highly recommend this trip and company!
Absolutely amazing experience! Our local guide Ilias was fantastic and told us all about the history of the island. Cannot recommend this tour enough - many of the other boats seemed crowded and overbooked whereas there was plenty of space for us. Even though the weather wasn’t favourable, he made sure that we still saw everything. All the food was delicious and the local wine was also lovely. Overall 10/10 experience!
What an amazing boat tour. Opposed to the bigger operations on the island that have 5+ boats in their fleet, Captain Elias had one boat (+3 crew members), so you get a more personal experience. My wife, 18 year old daughter went and there were a total of 10 passengers on the tour, so lots of personal attention was given. The weather wasn't great in Northern Milos, so the captain pivoted and took us to Southern Milos where we stopped for 3-4 different swim areas. Spent over and hour swimming and jumping from one he sailboat in Kleftiko, which was absolutely amazing. We stayed anchored there and enjoyed a wonderful lunch, plentiful homemade wine and ice cold beer. At the last swim stop, the crew brought out the grill and did BBQ octopus on the boat, after which the entire group gathered at the rear of the boat to eat as one, with octopus, cheese, pickles, anchovies, breads, and of course, sipping ice cold Ouza. While we sat there together captain Elias told stories of the island and Greek culture (which he also did throughout the tour). Due to the northern seas being roughed by end of day, the captain Elias even arranged for free transport back to the port from Southern Milos so we didn't have to endure the rough seas on the way back. Elias and the entire crew were attentive, friendly, very helpful the entire day. We would absolutely recommend Milos Oneiro Sailing tours, it was a wonderful experience. We would absolutely do it again and it was well worth the cost.
Very hospitable, it is a tour very different from the typical commercial one. Small group with very good vibes and the best part is the crew and the boat. Delicious and local food. It is definitely worth it. The best experience on the island. I would repeat it without a doubt, highly recommended. The guide tells a lot of local stories and they make sure you have a perfect day.
It has been an incredible experience. We have visited several spots, stopped to swim, listened to stories, and enjoyed the food. Absolutely everyone on the team is wonderful, especially María, who was attentive to ensure we lacked nothing.
We had a great day on this tour. The captain and entire crew were all so kind and gracious going out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable, had a great time, and that all of our needs were met. They provided us with breakfast, mid morning fruit snacks, a huge lunch, and then we even had octopus at the end along with endless drinks. The captain shared so much history, culture, and geological information with us and he had a great joyful energy that I loved. I think we learned more about Greece on this tour than any other during our trip. This day was an absolute pleasure and even though the wind made some changes to our route and made the water a bit rough at the time we had an amazing day thanks to this incredible crew!
