History
Milos is volcanic; obsidian and sulfur mining shaped local settlements and ancient trade—Kleftiko’s caves once sheltered pirates and fishermen.
Conservation
Anchoring in seagrass beds damages fragile Posidonia; use designated moorings when available, limit single-use plastics, and avoid touching coral or marine life.
Reserve your spot on the Discover Milos with Boat Rentals today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Check sea and wind forecasts
Milos’ open southern coast can get choppy—confirm the local marine forecast and postpone if winds exceed operator limits.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Protect both your skin and the marine life—reef-safe sunscreen prevents damage to seagrass and reefs where you’ll snorkel.
Secure loose items in a dry bag
Waves, swims and quick turns will toss hats and phones—store valuables in a waterproof bag or locker.
Know who’s driving
If you choose self-drive, complete the boat handling briefing and understand basic anchoring and docking procedures before leaving the harbor.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin in strong sun and reduces harm to marine ecosystems while snorkeling.
