One of the most beautiful ways to explore the Greek island of Milos is by kayak. During the 3-hour kayak tour, you’ll discover hidden beaches, idyllic coves, and unique sea caves while leisurely paddling over the crystal-clear blue waters. Every now and then, you can take a refreshing swim or simply enjoy the view from the beach. It’s an amazing tour that, in our opinion, you shouldn’t miss on Milos!
What Will You See While Kayakking?
The tour starts in the south of Milos at Fyriplaka Beach, where you will receive instructions and a snack with water for the journey. Everyone will also be provided with a waterproof GoPro to capture photos, including underwater shots, along the way. Two guides accompany the group, allowing each participant to kayak at their own pace, and there are several stops to rest during the tour.
You’ll kayak through sea caves and along steep cliffs, heading towards Gerakas Beach. This beach is incredibly beautiful with its white sand and can only be reached by water. Here, you can snorkel or explore with the guide to find a hot spring. After a light snack, you continue kayaking to Tsigrado Beach. This small beach is situated in a paradise-like bay with crystal-clear water. The guide will take you to a unique cave with bright blue water a little further down, or you can simply relax on the beach to catch your breath.
Finally, you’ll make the short journey back to Fyriplaka Beach. In just 3 hours, you’ll have seen many beautiful places, gained a nice tan, and had a mini workout!
Pay attention: Most days of the year, the kayak tour covers the above-mentioned places, but this is subject to weather conditions. If it is too windy on the south side of Milos, the tour may take place at a different location. Fortunately, there are many other beautiful locations to explore in case of strong winds. If this happens, they will contact you the day before to inform you about the alternative plan.
What to Bring With You?
As mentioned earlier, you will receive water and a light snack from the guide. If you prefer to drink a lot of water, you can also bring your own bottle. There are two sealed storage compartments in the kayak where you can keep some belongings. Here are some useful things to consider:
- Swimwear
- Sunscreen
- Sunglasses
- Hat or cap
What are the Costs and Do You Need to Make a Reservation?
The costs vary depending on the season, but usually, the tour costs around $70-$75. This includes all necessary equipment, such as the GoPro, kayak, life jacket, and paddles. At the starting point, you can leave your clothes and other belongings as the organization provides a kind of beach hut. You will also receive a dry bag to carry items like your phone during the kayaking. It is advisable to book the tour in advance as it is often fully booked.
