If you ask us, there’s nothing quite as delightful as spending a day at sea. Put on your swimsuit and step aboard a sailboat for an unforgettable day on the water. The southwest of Milos is characterized by high white cliffs, sea caves, and crystal-clear waters. In the past, pirates inhabited this part of the island, as the numerous sea caves and high cliffs provided the perfect hideout for surprise attacks. This stunning part of Milos is still accessible only by boat, making a boat trip essential in your Milos itinerary. It was the absolute highlight of our visit to Milos!
What does the boat trip look like in Milos?
The boat trip goes to the southwest coast of Milos, and whether you sail or use the motor depends on the wind conditions. The southwest coast is perhaps the most beautiful part of the island, and as we mentioned before, you can only visit this area by boat. The boat trip lasts the entire day, and you’ll make several stops at beautiful spots to take a refreshing swim in the water, visit unique places, or explore the underwater world. One of the first stops is Sikia Cave, which is a massive sea cave with crystal-clear blue water.
Afterwards, you’ll head towards Kleftiko, which is considered the highlight of Milos for many. Here, you’ll find towering cliffs with numerous small and large caves. The seawater has a turquoise color, and the combination with the white rock creates an incredibly paradisiacal place! The sailboat anchors, and with the small rubber boat and guide, you’ll visit various sea caves and have the option to cliff jump if you wish.
Pay attention: In case of adverse weather conditions such as strong winds, the boat may not be able to sail to the west coast. In such situations, the boat will likely head towards the north of Milos, where there are also many beautiful places to explore.
What to Take With You on the Boat?
- Towel
- Water shoes
- Swimwear
- Sweater or cardigan for the return journey
- Sunscreen
- Sunglasses
- Cap or hat
Where can You Book this Boat Trip?
There are many different providers that organize boat trips to the west coast of Milos, and the prices depend on the type of boat, the size of the groups, and what is included or not included in the price. If you choose to pay a bit more, you will be on a smaller boat with a smaller group, allowing for more space to relax during the journey. Cheaper boats often have the entire boat filled with people. It can be fun, but less comfortable. We went on this sailing boat and can definitely recommend it. The group never exceeds 10 people, the lunch was delicious, and all drinks and snacks are included in the price. The crew is friendly and creates a great atmosphere on the boat. The perfect ingredients for a wonderful day! If this boat is already fully booked on your dates or if you want to compare all boats, you can check out all boat trips at Milos.
