TOUR DESCRIPTION
Set sail on a two-day private cruise from Chania Old Port to the breathtaking island of Milos. This private tour offers a special opportunity to discover Milos’s hidden treasures.
Our journey begins in Chania, the perfect starting point for this unforgettable experience. Milos reveals its true beauty from the sea, giving access to places that can only be reached by boat. Our first stop is the stunning Gerakas Beach, known for its crystal-clear waters and soft, golden sand. It’s an ideal spot to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature.
From Gerakas, we head to Kleftiko, where the island’s famous rock formations stand as a natural wonder, carved by time. Next, we visit Sikia’s roofless cave, offering an open view of the sky. Our next stop is Kalogria Beach, a peaceful and untouched spot perfect for some quiet moments. We then visit the picturesque fishing village of Klima before spending the night in Adamas, the lively heart of Milos.
On day two, you have two options. You can take a shorter route back to Chania, filled with memories of your adventure. Or extend your exploration of Milos. The longer route includes Sarakiniko Beach, famous for its unique lunar-like landscape shaped by the sea. After that, we’ll visit Glaronisia, volcanic islets with striking hexagonal rock formations, creating a fascinating view from the water.
Our journey continues to Polyaigos Island, where you’ll swim in the magical Blue Bay, also known as Galazia Nera. This spot boasts some of the clearest, bluest waters you’ll ever see – a truly unforgettable experience.
As we sail back to Chania, you’ll carry the memories of this amazing journey. It’s a perfect mix of natural beauty, adventure, and relaxation.
Free snorkeling supplies (upon request), drinks, and light lunch.
Overnight stay on the mini-yacht or in a hotel
