Kleftiko is the highlight of Milos.The name actually means a place of thieves and derives from the fact that it was used for centuries by pirates as a hideout and lair. Apart from its’ pirate history, this unique combination of white and grey rocks creates one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. Snorkeling here is an amazing experience complete with underwater passages, caves and unsurpassed water clarity.

We paid €613 for this booking, and unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. Our ferry was cancelled just 18 hours before departure, completely beyond our control. We informed them immediately and asked for a simple solution: either move our booking to the following day or change our departure time from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Unfortunately, they refused both options and kept the full €613. We tried several times to find a reasonable solution, but there was no flexibility or understanding despite the circumstances. Keeping €613 when we were unable to arrive because of a cancelled ferry, while refusing even a small change to the booking, felt very unfair. Based on our experience, we would not recommend booking with them.
Dear Lujien, We are genuinely sorry that strong summer winds (meltemi) in the Cyclades caused your ferry to Milos to be cancelled, preventing you from reaching the island. We completely understand how frustrating it is when travel plans are disrupted by circumstances beyond anyone's control. Fair cancellation policies are standard in maritime operations to protect both our guests and the company. They guarantee that reserved spots are strictly held and high operational standards are maintained. Because island-to-island ferry cancellations are a well-known reality in the Aegean, comprehensive travel insurance is essential for anyone travelling through the Greek islands. External disruptions like missed ferry connections fall squarely under travel insurance protection rather than tour operator refunds, especially when our vessel sails as scheduled with all crew, catering, and operational resources fully committed. To ensure you were not left out of pocket, we promptly issued an official statement of non-attendance and the necessary paperwork so your insurer could reimburse you in full. While we regret receiving a 1-star rating considering you were never able to step on board, we remain dedicated to operating safely, professionally, and fairly. Warm regards, The Polco Sailing Team
Very nice experience. The team was very nice. The food and drinks were of good quality.
Everything was great. George, Paschalis and Maria were the best guides we could ask for and definitely worth every penny.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! ❤️ We’re delighted to hear that you had such a great experience and felt that the cruise was worth every penny. We’ll definitely share your kind words with **George, Paschalis and Maria**, they’ll be so happy to hear that they made your day special! 😊 It was a pleasure having you on board, and we hope to welcome you back to Milos for another beautiful day at sea someday! ⛵️🌊 Warm wishes from the whole Polco Sailing team! 💙
We had the most amazing experience, far exceeding our expectations! There was plenty of room on the boat for our family of 5 to spread out and relax, and we all thoroughly enjoyed each of the swimming/snorkeling stops along the way. The sights were incredible, as well as the interesting commentary that Pascales shared along the way…. The crew was absolutely exceptional, George, Pascales and Maria treated us like family, so attentive to everyone’s needs, and so extremely kind and generous. The food was delicious, and all freshly prepared! A truly first class experience in every way, and certainly the highlight of our family vacation. Would highly recommend this tour, and my special thanks again to the amazing crew that made this such a memorable experience.

If happiness had a place for me this year it was the cruise with Polvo with the legendary captain (who even recovered my watch lost at sea) Flora and Alessandro I spent the last day of my trip with them worried about a knee injury I had but they were super sweet they pampered me by giving me food and excellent wine and helping me every time I got back on board the tour was beautiful and interesting with many little tips on every beach and swims in places with incredible waters all accompanied by good food good company and excellent music it was a fantastic day that turned my vacation around which I thought was by then unrecoverable given the injury thank you you deserve 5 stars in everything
Thank you so much for this beautiful review! ❤️ It truly means a lot to us to hear that, despite your knee injury, we were able to help turn the last day of your trip into such a special memory. We’re especially happy that you felt so well looked after by Flora and Alessandro. Taking care of our guests and making sure everyone feels comfortable is a big part of what we love about what we do. And we’re glad the captain managed to recover your watch too — what a way to end the day! 😄⌚️ It sounds like you enjoyed everything we love about a day at sea: beautiful places, crystal-clear waters, good food, wine, music and great company. ⛵️🌊🍷 We’ll definitely share your kind words with **Flora, Alessandro and the captain**, they’ll be delighted! Thank you again for choosing Polco Sailing and for giving us 5 stars. We hope to see you again in Milos, hopefully next time with a fully recovered knee! ❤️ Warm wishes from the whole Polco Sailing team!
Everything beautiful. Captain Yannis always moors in the best spots. Care and attention to detail. Also for the food, everything excellent and great attention to intolerances. Very good…
A unique experience... We hid in four of the most beautiful places in Milos and Polyaikos. We had a full lunch (breakfast-snack-lunch-sweet), while Paschalis, George and Maria fully identified us for all the places we visited. Excellent company , very nice music throughout the trip and complete guidance from the beginning to the end of the program. 😊 *Even mobile saved that entered the sea, only sword did not catch 🙂
