Imagine drifting along the crystal-clear waters of Milos on a sleek, open-yacht, with the sun warming your skin and the breeze gently tousling your hair. For around $1,186 per group (up to 8 guests), you can enjoy a tailor-made private cruise that takes you to some of the island’s most breathtaking spots, including Kleftiko, Sarakiniko, and Poliegos. The cruise lasts between 5 and 8 hours, depending on the itinerary you choose, and promises an intimate, luxurious way to explore the island’s coastlines and hidden beaches.
What we love about this experience is how flexible and personalized it feels. You get to decide where to stop, how long to linger, and what activities to indulge in—whether that’s snorkeling, paddleboarding, or simply sipping a glass of fine wine while soaking in the views. Plus, the gourmet lunch featuring fresh local flavors and the open bar with premium drinks ensure you’ll be well-fed and refreshed throughout the day.
One thing to keep in mind is that the price does not include fuel costs, which are approximately 250 euros for certain routes. Towel rentals are also not included, so remember to pack your own.

The Itinerary Breakdown
The cruise options are thoughtfully designed, with three main routes: Round, South, and North Cruises. Each has its own set of stops, but all include some of Milos’ most iconic sights.
Round Cruise: Covers a broad spectrum, including Kleftiko, Sarakiniko, Blue Bay, and Sikia Cave. This route is perfect if you want a comprehensive taste of the island’s highlights. Notably, Kleftiko is famed for its towering sea cliffs and crystal-clear waters—an absolute must-see. The reviews praise the “stunning views and hidden beaches,” noting that the stops allow ample time to relax and enjoy the scenery.
South Cruise: Focuses on the southern coast with stops at Gerontas, Firiplaka, Tsigrado, and Firligos. It’s ideal if you prefer calmer, less crowded beaches and enjoy snorkeling or sunbathing. One reviewer mentioned the “excellent wine selection and delicious tapas,” making this route especially good for food and drink lovers.
North Cruise: Starts from Pollonia and visits Sarakiniko, Faros, Glaronisia, and Reema. It’s perfect for those interested in exploring the more rugged, volcanic landscapes of the island. You’ll love the gorgeous views of Sarakiniko for its moonlike terrain—a favorite among travelers.
What Makes This Tour Stand Out?
First, the personalization aspect is a clear strength. You can discuss your preferences with the captain and crew beforehand; whether you want more snorkeling time or to explore specific caves, they accommodate. This flexibility is rare in larger group tours and adds immense value.
Second, the attention to detail in onboard amenities enhances the experience. With Bluetooth audio, you can listen to your favorite music, and the gourmet lunch is crafted with seasonal, fresh ingredients. The premium drinks selection, including wine, soft drinks, and beers, means you can unwind while taking in the spectacular scenery.
