Milos

Quietly emerging from the Aegean Sea’s azure expanse, the small volcanic island of Milos is often touted as the most exotic of all the Cyclades Islands, thanks to its offering of extraordinary colours, landscapes and seascapes. Located at the southwestern edge of the Greek island chain, Milos has retained its authentic Mediterranean feel over the centuries, which, together with its natural beauty, makes it an exceptional destination for yacht charters. Home to more than 70 beaches with varying shades of red, orange, and yellow sands, Milos has some of the most beautiful coastlines in the region. Beaches such as Sarakiniko, with its lunar-like white rock formations, and Kleftiko, accessible only by boat, are known for their striking sea caves and turquoise waters, making it a haven for beach and water lovers. On land, the island’s historical significance is evident in sites like the Catacombs of Milos and the ancient theatre near Tripiti, offering visitors insights into the early Christian and Roman eras. Whitewashed villages such as Klima, with its colourful syrmata (boat houses), and Plaka, the island’s capital, provide visitors with a genuine Greek cultural experience, adding to the Milos allure. Plus, the island’s location means it makes for a perfect ending or starting point for a longer yacht charter through the Cyclades, with nearby islands like Kimolos and Poliegos offering additional exploration opportunities.
