Things to do in Milos, South Aegean: The Best Day Trips from

August 14, 2021 Carley Gatson

Known as the "Island of Colors" thanks to its jewel-colored waters and building painted in vivid primary tones, the horseshoe-shaped island of Milos floats serenely in the Aegean Sea. It was here that the world-famous Venus de Milo statue was discovered. Though she now holds court at the Louvre, Milos has other beauties to admire. There are dozens of beaches, all different colors and all different combinations of sand, stone and shell. Explore the ancient theater, catacombs and windmills in Tripiti village, then cap off your day with a cinematic sunset.

Milos beauties are mostly hidden and unreachable by land. The catamaran will lead you to beautiful, pristine and isolated beaches, far from the hassle of the crowds. With this cruise, you will have the chance to discover most of the island coastlines and see the huge diversity of colours, caves and beaches Milos has to offer.

I shared the experience with a friend of mine and it was really satisfactory, the cruise was surprisingly pleasing for both of us. We saw all these amazing places, got to swim in heavenly waters and everyone was really helpful and explanatory about the history of certain spots around Milos. Milos is a really beautiful island and most of their beauties are not accessible through the road so you definitely have to visit Milos adventures and book the cruise that suites you. The catamaran was refreshingly clean (so important during these hard virus times we are all going through) and we had access to various drinks, plus the food that we were served had a great variety and was sooo tasty! Everyone who worked there was really kind but I especially want to thank Yiorgos, the blonde handsome guy that worked there. Really considerable and hard working. Thank you all, we had a great time!

The tour schedule is perfect, giving you the chance to enjoy each stop without rushing and with plenty of time to swim and enjoy the clear blue water. The staff is really competent and good fun; they keep the boat super clean throughout the trip, hygenizing the surfaces once every hour. On top of that, they are excellent cooks and the lunch is great, with fresh fishes cooked on the boat.

I don't know that I could write a better review than what we would have to say about this experience. We knew nothing about Milos and pretty much our entire trip in Milos was around Milos Experience. If you're headed to Milos you can basically go to them as a one stop shop. We did the boat tour, driving tour, and they helped with transportation. The boat tour was our favorite day in all of Greece, our driver for the driving tour was hysterical, extremely knowledgeable, and helped make the day what we wanted, and our transportation was very safe and timely. We even got locked out of our house one night and they helped as we navigate everything. We talk about going back to Milos simply because we know the experiences and service we would have going with Michalis and his team. I asked a million questions pre-our trip and he was so helpful - we've even continued to stay in touch and have since built a great relationship! Couldn't recommend them more!

We rented a boat from Beyond Waves on our trip to Milos and it was easily the highlight of our trip (and we had already fallen in love with Milos!!). Andreas was the coolest, nicest boat owner, super friendly and helpful. The boat was great quality, excellent value even though there was only two of us and we would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of renting to go with Andreas and his company. Thank you again Andreas!

Chose Polco as reviews were so good, and didn't regret it at all. All swimming stops were amazing, water was so blue & clear. Crew were really friendly. Boat had sufficient outdoor and indoor space & not overloaded with people so no worries about shade etc. They have a paddleboard & snorkels on board. As it was October (low season) & COVID year (super low season) they offered one tour only, a mix - the catamaran boat on the sailboat's route. This isn't a booze cruise crammed with 18 year olds & music blaring (as some of the other tour companies seemed to be) - that is not to say seemingly unlimited beers/ouzo etc aren't included, but vibe is a bit more chilled.
