Spend a full day by private speedboat from Santorini to Milos, Polyaigos and Kimolos. Snorkel in pirate caves, explore chalk cliffs and relax in Pollonia’s harbor with snacks and open water views.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Salt spray and limestone cliffs open the morning on a private speedboat that cuts west from Santorini toward the moon-soft shores of Milos. You’ll feel the boat rise and fall as the Caldera gives way to open Aegean; the first stop, Kleftiko, delivers otherworldly rock formations and caves that seem carved by pirate hands and volcanic mood. Half an hour at Polyaigos follows — an uninhabited island where the sand is sparse and the water is luminous blue, offering quiet coves and snorkelable caves.

Bring reef shoes
Many beaches are rocky and slippery; reef shoes make wading and scrambling in coves safer and more comfortable.
Protect from the sun
Full sun exposure on deck requires high-SPF sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses—shade is limited on day boats.
Motion-sickness prep
The Aegean can be choppy; if you’re prone to seasickness, take preventative medication before boarding.
Hydrate and pack a dry bag
Bring a refillable water bottle and a small dry bag for electronics and a light layer—water and snacks are provided but personal comfort matters.
