From the lunar-like views of Sarakiniko to the colorful waters of Kleftiko and Fyriplaka, its variety of beaches is simply mesmerizing. Explore fishing villages like Klima and Mandrakia, stroll through the charming alleys of Plaka, and enjoy traditional flavors in family-run tavernas. Milos offers something for every traveler—sea adventures, 4×4 tours, historical walks through ancient trails and catacombs.

    Highlights

    Fyripotamos Beach

    Whitewashed fishermen’s houses stretch to the water, with blue-painted doors at sea level—traditional "syrmata" used to store their boats.

    Sarakiniko

    This iconic landscape, with its white volcanic rocks and crystal-clear blue-green waters, is a must-see. Take your time to enjoy this surreal beach.

    Kleftiko Beach

    Departing from Adamas port, you can sail to the island’s southwest tip to witness one of Greece’s most photographed natural wonders—sea caves and turquoise waters.

    Plaka Castle

    Once a refuge from pirate attacks, only parts of it remain, but the panoramic view from the top is worth the climb.

    Catacombs of Milos

    Dating back to the 1st century AD, the catacombs were discovered in 1840 and later excavated by German archaeologist Ludwig Ross.

    My Kids and I loved the trip except for our lost baggage from the Aegean airlines upon arrival at Athens at the start of the trip.Loved all the sightseeing. Tour guides and Pick up services were awesome!! Tour guides were very knowledgeable in their area and history of the city and my kids and I loved that. They answered all our questions. Pick up services were always on time.I just wish I had a little more time in Corfu to do the boat tour as I had planned. Wasn’t able to accomplish that. Loved the wine tasting, Oia and Fira in Santorini. Thank You so much for helping me plan this trip. Great memories made on this trip!!Savita

    It was a real pleasure to meet you. The passengers were happy with all your details and the beautiful country of Greece. Regarding food, I must thank you for the care you took to choose the places and the dishes. They were all a great success. The menus, even in Spanish, were totally appreciated. Regarding accommodation, I found the hotel nice, comfortable and well located. The breakfast room is a bit busy in the mornings, but the food tastes great. And the view of the Parthenon from the top roof is impressive. Transportation good. The tours seemed good to me. Tour guides have a good command of the Spanish language and were quite friendly.  Regarding contact and respond from the company. I must emphasize that there is only praise for you, Anna. You really are a great person. The joy of your soul is transmitted around everything you do. Always with a smile no matter how tiring the tourist activity is. The details and care with which you do your job are extremely applaudable. I only have one word but for you THANKFULNESS.October 2023

    One more Thank You
    Dear Mata and Desi,I mean it when I say I have never been exposed to such level of loving care in the world of travel.  We were not just your clients. We felt like your family. You cared for us, and all of our many (many! Many!) different needs. You showed Stuart such respect. You were patient with some in our group who would not always ask things with proper respect. You kept showing up in places we did not expect. You made visits to the pharmacy, and extra trips with your car, all to make us feel comfortable and at home.Truly—you are at the top of your business, and it shows. I do not even remember how we initially found you. But however it was, I am so grateful for this friendship and partnership. And I do mean it when I hope that we do many trips together in the future, and that I can send many of my colleagues to you for trips.It is hard for this trip to be over and to say goodbye. Know that we mean it when we say we have not only appreciation for you. But love for you.Αντίο και σας ευχαριστούμε και σας αγαπάμε και είμαστε ενθουσιασμένοι που θα σας δούμε σύντομα.With a heart that is full because we know one another, and heavy because we have to say goodbye!
