Sailing Adventure with Polco Sailing in Milos, Greece

Off the southern coast of Greece’s Aegean Sea lies Milos, a volcanic island known for its jagged coastline, crystal-clear seas, and dazzling limestone cliffs. Polco Sailing offers a distinct way to experience this unique landscape with their small-group sailing cruise around Milos and neighboring Poliegos. This isn’t your standard boat tour; it’s an intimate voyage maximizing access to hidden bays and beaches often unreachable by road.

Aboard a comfortable sailing vessel carrying no more than 16 passengers, the journey highlights Milos’s renowned beaches like Kleftiko — famed for its towering white rock formations and secluded sea caves — and Gerakas, a quieter stretch known for its calm turquoise waters ideal for snorkeling. Poliegos, a smaller uninhabited island nearby, enhances the trip’s sense of remoteness and pristine natural beauty.

The clear water invites swimmers to don masks and fins to inspect flourishing underwater life, where colorful fish flit around submerged rocks and ancient volcanic formations provide shelter. The crew supplements the outing with local snacks and refreshing drinks, making the day feel effortlessly indulgent without sacrificing authenticity.

Milos’s geology dates back to volcanic activity millions of years ago, lending the island its distinctive cliffs and white pumice beaches. The history here is as rich as its terrain—Milos was once a critical obsidian source in prehistoric trade across the Mediterranean.

Polco Sailing’s commitment to small group sizes and personalized service sets it apart, ensuring each guest can absorb the region’s natural wonders from both sea and shore. This cruise offers a hands-on encounter with the rugged beauty and raw character of the South Aegean coastline, a must-do for anyone seeking an active yet relaxed maritime adventure in Greece.
