Book nowAsk us a question

Twenty minutes to Kleftiko, not two hours

Most Milos boat tours leave from Adamas and spend the first two hours getting to the west coast. Our boats leave from the beach at Agia Kiriaki, on the south coast, where Kleftiko is 20 to 30 minutes away and the coves of Firiplaka, Tsigrado and Gerontas are minutes from the platform.

Choose a private trip with our captain on the Compass 7s, with drinks, snacks, snorkelling gear and photos on board, or take the wheel yourself. The Compass 150cc needs no licence at all.

The white arches and sea caves of Kleftiko, MilosHalf day, 5 hours

Kleftiko and Sykia

The signature trip.

Then Sykia, the cave with the collapsed roof, and a last stop at Gerontas on the way home.

  • Departures 09:00 or 14:30
  • Two to three swim and snorkel stops
  • Compass 7s with our captain, or self-drive Compass 165cc with a licence

Questions about our boat tours

Is there a Milos boat tour from Adamas?

Our boats leave from Agia Kiriaki on the south coast, not from Adamas. That is the point: Kleftiko is 20 to 30 minutes from our platform and 1.5 to 2 hours from Adamas harbour, so a half day with us covers what a full day from the port does. Agia Kiriaki is about 15 minutes by car from Adamas, and for the north-east routes we can arrange a pick-up at Pollonia.

Do you offer a Milos boat tour full day?

Yes. The full-day trips run about 10:00 to 19:00 and cover Kimolos and Polyaigos, or the whole west coast with Kleftiko and Sykia. With our captain on the Compass 7s the day is 950 €; the self-drive Compass 165cc is 450 € for holders of a boat licence. Fuel is extra.

Is there a Milos boat tour half day option?

Yes, two slots of five hours: 09:00 to 14:00 and 14:30 to 19:30. From Agia Kiriaki a half day reaches Kleftiko and Sykia in the Compass 165cc or 7s, or the south coast coves in the no-licence Compass 150cc from 180 €. The afternoon slot is our sunset trip.

Is a Milos boat tour catamaran or speedboat?

Ours are fast powerboats, not catamarans: the Compass 7s with 250 hp and up to 7 guests, the 115 hp Compass 165cc and the 30 hp licence-free Compass 150cc. A powerboat reaches Kleftiko in minutes rather than hours and stops where you want, which is why a private trip usually sees more of the coast than a shared catamaran cruise.

What are Milos boat tour prices?

Private trips with our captain on the Compass 7s: 550 € for a half day and 950 € for a full day for up to 7 guests, with drinks, snacks, snorkelling gear, towels and photos included. Self-drive: Compass 150cc 180 € half day and 250 € full day with no licence needed, Compass 165cc 250 € and 450 € with a licence or one of our skippers. Fuel is not included.
