Details

Located on the vibrant island of Milos in Greece’s South Aegean, Milos Charters offers a distinctive 5-hour coastal tour departing from Adamas port. This journey presents a dynamic encounter with some of the region’s most dramatic seascapes and geological marvels. The trip’s highlight is Sarakiniko, a stretch of coast shaped by volcanic activity that resembles a lunar outpost with smooth white rock formations etched by wind and waves. It’s a striking contrast to the deep blue waters that cradle it.

Next on the itinerary is Papafragkas cave, a cavern carved into towering cliffs with crystalline turquoise waters inviting glimpses of the underwater world. Accessed solely by sea, the cave’s impressive rock arches and sheltered bays offer a hidden sanctuary away from the usual crowds.

Beyond the caves, the cruise navigates toward Polyaigos Island, known for its untouched beaches and rare flora. Unlike more tourist-heavy areas, its pristine sands and quiet coves offer a real sense of discovery. Visitors can also experience Thiorichia, a former sulfur mine site, adding a layer of industrial history to the natural exploration. Finally, the boat rounds the waters near Gerakas, where dramatic cliffs and geological features frame the coastline.

Throughout the journey, refreshments are served onboard, allowing travelers to relax and take in the panoramic views of Milos’s multifaceted character — volcanic, marine, and historical. Milos Charters stands out not just as a tour operator but as a gateway to appreciating Milos’s singular coastline beyond the obvious tourist spots. This is a rare chance to combine active discovery with quiet moments in one of Greece’s geologically richest locations.
