Milos Small-Group Full-Day Cruise with Snorkelling and Lunch
Description
The cruise is done at a relaxed pace, trying to avoid crowds with only 12 passengers aboard the sailing boat. Boats are equipped with large shaded areas, hammocks and managed by a crew of two experienced/multilingual sailors who will be your guides in the best day of your vacation. Food served is plentiful, homemade and delicious. Open bar available. The cruise covers the inaccessible West part of Milos focusing in Kleftiko and Sykia, the most beautiful places in the island.

A day of sightseeing, swimming, exploring the majestic Kleftiko and its’ caves with our dinghy, entering the cave of Sykia, sunbathing or just relaxing on the hammock listening to music and having a drink under the boats shaded area this cruise will be the highlight of your Milos vacation.

Itinerary
Klima was the first Capital of Milos and where the statue of Venus de Milo was discovered. While you take beautiful photos of the colourful fishing village, you can also learn some historical facts about the island, as a part of our guided tour.
As part of the guided tour of the bay of Adamas, we will pass the 19th-century iron and manganese mine. We will have the chance to take lovely photos as our multi-lingual guide will be telling us the story of this spectacular area. Weather permitting sometimes we take a quick swim here.
This is our first swim stop and lasts about 30minutes. We will swim and snorkel and have a light brunch.
Our stop in Sikia lasts about 2 hours. We anchor in the protected bay to the south of the cave and we will have a first swim with masks and flippers provided. Then we will enter the cave of Sykia with our dinghy and explore the area. When we get back to the boat, delicious homemade snacks are going to be waiting for us accompanied by the traditional ouzo and fresh drinks.
We will get the chance to swim with snorkelling gear provided by us, use our dinghy to visit Kleftiko caves and take photos, both above but also underwater, and finally we will have freshly cooked lunch and drinks
Before getting back to Adamas port we will make a short 20-minute swim stop at the bay of Agios Dimitrios with a beautiful view of the Milos caldera, Plaka and Tripiti across the bay.

This was hands down the best boating experience I have ever had, in Greece and other places. Fay and Facu were the absolute best. They were kind, good humored, knowledgeable, attentive and proactively addressed our needs. We went on the perfect day since there was no wind, but even if there was wind and we could not go to every stop, I have no doubt that Fay and Facu would’ve made it very memorable and enjoyable. My wife was 15 weeks pregnant and Fay continually checked in on her and made sure she always had a full bottle of water and made sure she was comfortable with the menu and had alternatives if needed. We learned all about the history of Milos and the various swimming areas and beaches. It is a trip my wife and I will keep in our memories forever. This was the highlight of Greek island hopping vacation. I highly recommend Polco and hope you are lucky enough to have Fay and Facu as your captain and guide!!
Thank you Forrest and Flow 🌞 would recommend to everyone
Best day in Milos. Had an amazing day in the catamaran visiting the most beautiful places with the most incredible water I had ever seen. Dina and Andreas made it perfect. Also the food served during the whole time was delicious! So worth it!
Flow and Forrest were amazing, and everything was so well organized! I enjoyed every minute of it. The boat was comfortable and the food was great. We saw a lot of beautifull places. Perfect birthday because of this. 10/10

100000000/10 across the board! Fay and Facu were absolutely wonderful guides. They were so welcoming, knowledgeable about the island, adventurous, and overall fun to sail with! The food was phenomenal, and we were even so lucky to be able to cruise into Kleftiko beach under a blanket of fog - which truly made the experience feel more immersive. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Polco, and Fay and Facu. I would recommend this boat tour to anyone looking to see the beauty of the waters of Milos!
