PRIVATE SAILING TOUR AROUND MILOS OR POLIEGOS
Discover all the coastal highlights of Milos and Poliegos islands on this full-day sailing trip on board a fabulous four-cabin yacht. Departing from Pollonia, our first stop is the uninhabited island of Poliegos — a mirage of colourful cliffs and castaway coves, where you can dive into the iridescent waters.
Returning to Milos, we’ll explore the abandoned sulphur mines, an eerie glimpse into the island’s mining history and a great photo opp. Cruising along the south-east coast of Milos, we’ll take a dip at Gerakas, a strip of sand below sheer, perlite-streaked cliffs. Next stop: the amazing Kleftiko, towering spires of solidified lava rising from the sea. We’ll provide snorkelling gear and guide you through the secret tunnels and caves, while recording your adventures with an underwater camera.
After a delicious Greek lunch on board our 50 metre sailboat, we’ll stop at Glaronisia, the aptly named ‘Seagull Islands’, before sailing into the sunset on our way back to Pollonia.
Price includes:
Fuel, refreshments, traditional Greek lunch, snorkelling gear, use of an underwater camera, and complimentary photo and video footage of your trip.

SPEED BOAT TOUR TO KLEFTIKO & POLIEGOS
Thrilling and glamorous, a speedboat is the ultimate option for a boat trip to Kleftiko’s sea caves and the desert island of Poliegos. Create your own itinerary on this private boat tour — the fastest, most exciting way to see these must-see sights on Milos in a single day.
We’ll pass the sunken cave of Sykia, a natural swimming pool sculpted from the rocks, before embarking on a snorkelling safari through the towering rock formations of Kleftiko, once a hideout for pirates. The largest uninhabited island in the Cyclades, Poliegos (also spelled Polyaigos) is a nature reserve for migrating birds, shaggy goats, and endangered Mediterranean monk seals. Fringed with quiet beaches and white, pink and orange cliffs, Poliegos has possibly the clearest, bluest water in the Greek islands.
This private tour on an 8.5 metre speedboat starts and ends at Pollonia. Your skipper can pick you up right outside White Pebble Suites.
Price includes:
Fuel, skipper, snorkelling equipment, a bottle of wine or champagne, Greek meze and seasonal fruit for up to 9 passengers.

SUNSET CRUISE FROM POLLONIA TO POLIEGOS
During our daily trip around the island you will be able to see the most amazing and beautiful parts of our island such as the amazing cape of Vani, the largest emerging volcanic rock in the Mediterranean Sea, which is consisted of obsidian, iron, and magganium of particular morphology.
While sailing along the whole west coast of Milos, which is protected under the Natura 2000 programme for the rare species of flora and fauna, we will also see lovely beaches such as Kalogries, Agathia, Triades, Ammoudaraki, and the monastery of Saint John Siderianos.
Our main destination is Kleftiko, the famous site with the towering, white limestone rocks, that form caves and tunnels of different color depending on how the sun reflects on the sea- water. Kleftiko is an old pirate’s hideout of magnificent beauty and one of the best protected places from the northern winds in the Mediterranean.

MOONLIGHT DINNER CRUISE
From White Pebble Suites, it’s a short hop across the straits between Milos and Kimolos to the stunning island of Poliegos. The largest uninhabited island in the Mediterranean, Poliegos is home to hundreds of goats and a breeding ground for rare monk seals. But it’s best known for its luminous blue waters.
Depending on which way the wind is blowing, we’ll swim at one of the deserted beaches, like Myrsini, Ammoura, or Faros, where goats often come to the shore to drink from the saltwater lake. The limestone cliffs and sea caves of Poliegos make for fantastic snorkelling and we provide a GoPro underwater camera to film your marine explorations.
We’ll time our return to catch the sunset painting the horizon pink and lilac as we cruise back to Pollonia.
