Milos Poseidon

  In Milos there are places you can visit only by sea. One example is Kleftiko, one of the 10 best beaches in Europe according to Conde Nast Traveller and Tripadvisor;... read more some say it’s among the best beaches in the world. While choosing a boat tour in Milos you’re faced with 3 main options: 1) sailing boat (catamaran or monohull) which -despite the name- will take you there on engine (not sails), cost around 50-70€ per passenger, total of 20 onboard, 2) a super fast and sleek RIB, cost of 1200-1400€ per 8 hour ride of up to 8-10 persons, and 3) Poseidon, a traditional fishing boat, for a total cost of 400€ for the same 8 hour tour, capacity up to 8 persons. Choice #1 you need to account for another 15-20 strangers on the boat, not quite the beat choice for the covid-conscious. A party of 8, two 4-member families, we opted for option 3 mainly due to the tranquility/privacy it’d offer (just the 8 of us), pricing and availability. On the day before departing Captain offered us choice of lunch, either kakavia (fish soup) from freshly-netted fish (we would have casted the nets ourselves in the morning) or home-made shrimp pasta, we opted for the second. We didn’t regret the choice of the specific tour one bit. Captain Andreas took us on a relaxed low-pace trip from Pollonia all the way south and we toured the whole south cost of Milos. We made three stops for swimming, 1st was a translucent white-pebble beach close to the old sulfur mines, after which we were treated to ladenias (local oil bruschetta-like dish with cheese onion and peppers), 2nd was unexpectedly stunning Gerontas (black thin glittering sand beach with a natural arch on one side, castaway stuff) and ultimately Kleftiko, where we anchored , swam in the caves and enjoyed lunch with a magnificent shrimp pasta dish prepared by our captain on-the-spot. All drinks and wine on the house. On our way back we took a last dive just before arriving to Pollonia. We had an unforgettable time and we were treated with great hospitality and friendliness. We would recommend Poseidon, Andreas and the tour without any objection.

  The trip with with the boat was awesome. We made the tour around Polyaigos and visited the best parts of the island. The waters were so clear, i could see... read more the bottom. We swam with the fish and saw sea turtles. We saw caves and beaches i have never seen on another island.
The captain, Andreas was kind, funny and a great cook. He served us traditional delicacies and the best fish soup I have ever eaten. The meal was served onboard in a breath tanking cove at the southern part of Polyaigos. The whole experience was amazing. I will definitely take the tour again.

  This was a fantastic day on a fishing boat, led by a great captain Andreas, who was capable and friendly.
First we watched as they pulled in the net, filled... read more with (delicious) fish we would later eat. Other very tasty Greek snacks were also provided.
Followed by a tour of multiple islands, including the most amazing deserted beach.
We are very happy we chose to go out with Poseideon! We highly recommend.

  Andreas was a perfect guide and great cook too. We saw Poliegos for the first time and were totally amazed. After swimming in the most incredible places, we had the... read more perfect lunch, prepared by Andreas. We very much recommend his tours!

  We visited Milos for the second time this year in June and we were really looking forward to visit Polyegos, a small rocky island near Milos and Kimolos. The agency... read more that rent us our car suggested captain Andeas and they were absolutely right! The boat is a traditional fishing boat. We left from Pollonia and we were a small group of 6 people on board. We sailed towards Polyegos and took a full tour around the island. During the trip captain Andreas was willing to stop or slow down on every spot that we liked for photos and swimming and also recount the story of the islands. The beaches around the island are some of the most beautiful we have ever seen. Crystal clear blue water! Truly impressive!!! It's a must seen place if you visit Milos! During the trip captain Andreas offered us the traditional "ladenia " handmade by his mother and for lunch he cooked us shrimp spaghetti with fresh shrimps that he fished himself and greek salad with vegetables from his garden! Delicious !!! For dessert he offered us fresh fruit. Drinks were also included. Our trip was amazing!!! Captain Andreas was very friendly and helpful!! Worth every penny! The price for the tour was really inexpensive regarding what was offered and the whole experience!! Absolutely recommended! …

  First of all, Poliegos is the best isle among Milos, Kimolos and Poliegos itself so you must cruise there if you're visiting Kimolos or Milos. It is absolutely one of... read more the best isle in Greece.
The cruise is an all day one starting from Pollonia Beach in the morning. We had a stop for a bath at least of 30 minutes in Kato Mersini Beach, Galazia Nera Beach (Blue Bay), another beach in the south coast where we had lunch and finally in another beach in the north coast of Poliegos. He made us to visit some caves along the path too. The captain sailed along the coast trying to make us to see all wonderful water along the coast: he is very expert because he is a fisherman in Milos during the wintertime. We were luckly because the wind, waves, sea and weather so we succedeed to go around completely in Poliegos. We visited also Epano Mersini Beach (Mersine Beach) and Ammoura Beach where is the lighthouse.
We had a very long lunch stop where he offered a delicious lunch composed of salads and pasta with fish. It's offering you all drinks for free anytime you would like, not only during the lunch: juices, beer, coke, water and so on.
The captain is VERY kind and funny, the boat is small so there are few tourists on board so the enviroment is very familiar. You can freely ask everything you need at the captain and he'll make the best to satisfy! That money spent with the cruise are the BEST spent of your holiday there! ;) I advice to sail with him because you will not be able to forget easily this "familiar-cruise" because Poliegos and the captain Andreas!

  My wife and I travel many Greek Islands and always take boat tours. This by far was the best we ever did. This is for a several reasons. 1) It's... read more a small boat so only a few other tourists will be with you on the boat, no party boat chaos. 2) The crew were happy, helpful and made us feel very welcome. 3) The route the boat takes is excellent, and many stops for swimming. 4) The atmosphere was never rushed. 5) The experience of seeing fisherman at work, and being able to participate in the experience was fantastic. 6) Actually eating the fish that you catch that day. 7) The price - very reasonable considering everything is provided and the meal is excellent.

Some tips - 1) During the summer the winds can make the sea a little rough. My advice is call Andreas to discuss when the boat will go to Polyegos because this is the tour you must do to have the best experience from Pollonia. 2) As the boat is a fishing boat there is not much storage, so pack lightly for the trip, take just the basics (a towel and sun lotion is basically all you need). 3) Again it's a working fishing boat, so I do not recommend very young children for this trip. Ages 10 or over would be fine.

Many thanks to Andreas, Andreas and Marios. It was brilliant. If you remember my wife was the opera singer who sang while she was putting the nets in the water :)

  Great - We had an amazing day on thé boat! Thé captain is kind and thé journey wonderful we recommand anyone to live this expérience

A highlight was the terrific meal of fish soup, fresh fish that we caught that day, salad, and more while anchored at Kleftiko beach. The day was magical and one we will not soon forget! …
