Snorkeling in Milos: Private Catamaran with Kleftiko Bay

Snorkel Kleftiko's white cliffs and turquoise lagoons, then drift through Galazia Nera's untouched waters

A private full-day catamaran cruise from Adamantas Port, Milos, takes you snorkeling at Kleftiko Bay, Polyegos Island and four other stops, with a live English-speaking guide, meals, unlimited drinks and equipment included. The itinerary shifts with weather, so the captain adjusts the route to keep the water calm and the snorkeling safe. You can also SUP, fish or simply swim. The boat carries all the gear.

The experience

The day starts at Adamantas Port and heads straight for the water. You'll anchor at Triades Bay and Kalogries Beach first, where the shallows are gentle and the visibility is clear enough to see the seabed. From there the catamaran sails to Kleftiko Bay, the signature stop: dramatic white cliffs rise straight from the water, and the lagoon stays so sheltered that even on rougher days the snorkeling here is manageable. The guide is with you in the water, and snorkeling equipment is already on board.

Lunch arrives mid-afternoon, freshly prepared onboard: shrimp pasta or rice with feta, mussels in turmeric sauce, chicken with oranges, salads and seasonal fruit. Beer and local dry white wine flow throughout the day, along with soft drinks and water. If you want to try SUP boarding or fishing instead of snorkeling at any stop, the equipment is there and ready. The boat then moves to Polyegos Island for brief visits to Fyriplaka, Tsigrado and Gerakas beaches, each one a different shade of sand and rock.

The final stop is Galazia Nera Bay on Polyegos, named for water so clear and turquoise it looks tropical. This is where many travelers spend their last hour in the water or simply floating, watching the light change on the cliffs. The return to Adamantas Port takes the late afternoon, and you arrive back as the sun drops. Weather can shift the order of stops or swap one beach for another, so the captain stays flexible. The goal is keeping the water swimmable and the day safe.

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's the water like for snorkeling at Kleftiko Bay?

Kleftiko Bay sits in a sheltered lagoon with calm, shallow, crystal-clear turquoise water. The dramatic white cliffs frame the bay and block wind, so even when the sea roughens elsewhere, snorkeling here stays accessible. Visibility is strong enough to see the seabed and any fish moving through.

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

Snorkeling equipment is included and waiting on the catamaran. The boat also carries SUP boards and fishing gear if you want to try those instead at any of the stops.

How many people will be on the boat?

This is a private catamaran, so only your group travels aboard. No strangers join the cruise, and the guide stays with your party throughout the day.

What if the weather turns rough during the day?

The captain adjusts the itinerary based on conditions to keep snorkeling safe and the water swimmable. Stops may shift order or swap for calmer bays, but the day still visits Kleftiko and Galazia Nera, the two signature sites, unless weather makes that impossible.

Is lunch included, and what if I have dietary restrictions?

Lunch is freshly prepared onboard and includes shrimp pasta or rice with feta, mussels, chicken, salads and fruit. Let the operator know about restrictions when you book so they can adjust the menu.
