Snorkeling in Milos from Pollonia: 6 stops with Captain Andreas

Swim and snorkel in secret bays chosen by a captain who knows every wave

A private full-day snorkeling cruise departing from Pollonia, Milos, visits six secluded swimming and snorkeling stops across Kimolos and Polyaigos, with snorkeling equipment, traditional meals, water and beer included. Captain Andreas, a local with decades of experience, selects each stop for safety and water clarity. The boat carries life jackets, a shaded canopy and an on-board restroom. Optional fishing is available on request.

The experience

Eight hours on the water means time to move slowly between stops instead of rushing through them. The boat leaves Pollonia and sails toward the untouched coastlines of Kimolos and Polyaigos, stopping at six named bays (Prasa, Mirsini, Galazia Nera, Sykia, Faros and Avlaki) each one chosen by Captain Andreas for the clarity of the water and the safety of the approach. You bring a mask and flippers (provided on board) and spend the day moving between coves, swimming in water clear enough to see the volcanic rock formations below.

Meals arrive throughout the day: traditional delicacies from Milos, freshly prepared shrimp pasta and seasonal fresh fruits, paired with water and beer on board. If you want to fish instead of (or alongside) snorkeling, rods and bait are available on request: a hands-on option that adds another dimension to the day without replacing the swimming stops. The boat itself carries comprehensive safety equipment, life jackets for anyone who wants one, a spacious shaded canopy to step out of the sun, and a restroom below deck.

Captain Andreas speaks English and Greek and has spent decades working these waters, so the route and the timing adjust to conditions and to what the group wants to do. This is a private booking, meaning the boat is yours alone for the day.
