You swim inside sea caves and eat handmade pies on the boat.

A six-hour guided cruise from Milos to Kleftiko Beach and Sykia Cave, limited to 25 passengers, with breakfast at the first stop and a full traditional lunch served on board. The boat carries professional snorkeling gear, all beverages, and an English-speaking guide. Weather may shift the departure point to Provatas, with stops at Gerakas instead.

Milos Kleftiko Daily Cruise Experience

• Breakfast and swimming
• Sykia Cave sightseeing and photo stop
• Swimming, snorkeling, and lunch at Kleftiko Beach

The experience

The cruise departs Milos and heads to Kleftiko Beach, where you swim and snorkel among sea caves carved into limestone cliffs. The boat stops first for breakfast and a swim, then moves to Sykia Cave for photos and sightseeing before anchoring at Kleftiko for the afternoon. You get masks and fins from the boat's equipment, so you can explore the underwater passages without bringing your own gear.

Lunch is a full traditional menu prepared on board: handmade pies, fresh salads, and local flavors, served while you float between swims. The boat stocks bottled water, coffee, soft drinks, and alcoholic beverages throughout the day, so you're never without a drink. The group stays under 25 people, which means the boat moves at a pace that lets you linger at each stop instead of rushing through a crowded itinerary.

If north winds arrive, the captain departs from Provatas instead and visits Gerakas and Kleftiko. The tour runs six hours total. Public transport reaches the departure point, and the boat requires a minimum of six passengers to operate. If that threshold is not met or weather forces a cancellation, you receive a full refund or can reschedule.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What exactly is Kleftiko Beach and why do people come to swim there?

Kleftiko Beach is a cove on Milos surrounded by tall sea caves and rock formations that rise straight from the water. You reach it only by boat, and the caves are the main draw: you swim and snorkel directly into them from the water, exploring passages carved into the cliffs.

Do I need to bring my own snorkeling gear or is it provided?

Professional snorkeling equipment is included: the boat supplies masks and fins so you can snorkel at Kleftiko and Sykia Cave without packing your own.

What kind of food is served, and when do I eat during the day?

Breakfast is served at the first swimming stop, and a full traditional lunch with handmade pies, fresh salads and local dishes is served on the boat at Kleftiko. Fresh fruit and snacks are available throughout the day.

How many people go on this cruise, and does the group size affect the experience?

The cruise is limited to 25 guests, which keeps it smaller than standard tour boats and gives you more room to move around the boat and more time at each stop without feeling rushed.

What happens if the weather is bad or the boat doesn't have enough passengers?

If north winds arrive, the captain departs from Provatas instead and visits Gerakas and Kleftiko. If bad weather forces a full cancellation or fewer than six passengers book, you receive a full refund or can reschedule for another day.

Is the guide included, and what language do they speak?

A live guide in English is included on the cruise and leads the stops and activities throughout the day.
