Milos, a volcanic island sitting in Greece’s South Aegean, offers a rugged coastline shaped by millennia of geological forces. Polco Sailing invites adventurers to spend a full day aboard their sleek 41-foot catamaran, charting the remote west coast of the island—a region defined by sheer cliffs, hidden caves, and waters so clear the seabed feels within reach. The West Milos Kleftiko Catamaran Cruise combines leisurely movement with moments of active discovery, making it an ideal journey for those who want to experience the island’s natural beauty from a fresh perspective.
This cruise highlights extraordinary geological features, including Sykia cave—a partially open sea cavern where sunlight filters down through a roof opening, illuminating aqua waters in a spectacle few see from land. The trip’s itinerary emphasizes water-based activities. Passengers can swim in calm bays, snorkel amidst vibrant marine life, or stand-up paddleboard along the limestone coast, all while anchored in pristine, turquoise waters. The boat itself offers plenty of comfort and style, creating a social yet intimate atmosphere with a small group of fellow adventurers.

Their expert crew balances seafaring know-how with local insight, allowing guests to relax and enjoy this slice of the Aegean fully.
