You push off from a small floating dock at Agia Kiriaki and the Aegean opens before you: pale rock faces slide into turquoise water, and the island’s coves sit like private rooms waiting behind headlands. The 4.5m boat hums under a 30hp four‑stroke engine; an awning throws a cool rectangle of shade while the cooler keeps your water and snacks ready for the day.

History
Milos is volcanic with a coastline shaped by eruptions and erosion; the island’s riches—from obsidian to marble—have supported settlement since antiquity and yielded finds such as the Venus de Milo.
Conservation
Anchoring can damage Posidonia seagrass and fragile foreshore habitats—use designated moorings where available, stow trash, and avoid disturbing wildlife.

Check morning winds
Sail early: mornings are typically calmer—afternoon meltemi can make the sea choppy and narrow coves harder to reach.
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Protect skin and marine life; the bright Aegean sun reflects off white rock and water, increasing exposure.
Secure valuables in a dry bag
Small boats can get wet during ingress and egress—keep phones and documents sealed and accessible.
Confirm fuel policy
Ask whether fuel is included or charged after the trip to avoid surprises at return.
Dry bag
Keeps electronics and documents dry during transfers and swims.
