Milos Poseidon

  If you visit Milos you should definitely go to Polonia and do the 'Milos Poseidon Boat Experience'. By far the best day we had on the island. Apart from the... read more fact that price is great, you will also notice that captain Andreas is going over and above to ensure that he provides the best service possible to have an amazing experience! Highly recommended! A 'must do' thing when visiting Milos. …

  Our day with Captain Andreas was simply amazing. Our family of five enjoyed nine hours with Captain Andreas during which time we explored the eastern and southern coasts of... read more Milos. We worried nine hours would be too long but it wasn't! The kids really enjoyed bringing in the fishing nets and seeing all the fish, including eel, crabs, and more. We then stopped at numerous beaches on our way to/from Kleftiko. At each stop, we jumped into the gorgeous water and enjoyed snorkeling, swimming, and exploring the beaches. It was so much fun. Captain Andreas is so kind and took great care of us with snacks at most of the stops and all the drinks we wanted. 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!

  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. …

  Last day at Milos...We had go to the most beaches in the island the previous days and we were surprised by the beauty of the island and got the greatest... read more moments. But we were wrong.Capten Andreas had others plans for us.We had arrange with him a trip over Polyaigo,an island near Milos. Was one of the best experience in our lives.I have a lot to say but these things that made all this unique was the incredible sea with turquoise water,the delicious spaghetti with shrimps inside the vessel cooked by Capten,the wild beautiness of the caves and rocks and of course Capten Andreas with his authentic smile who love this so it cant be less than perfect! Try this and you wont lose for sure! …

  Having spent most of our time exploring the island via ATV (quad) and scooter we decided to set sail with Captain Andreas and Pedros (who were great!).

The... read more boat is small and there were only 7 of us on board (inc. crew) but it made the trip far more interesting than if you were on a boat of 40+.

We visited 4 secluded parts of the island (that you can only access via boat) which were beautiful and, because of the pebbles/small rock beaches/coves, the water is so clean and transparent.

True to their word food was served up and alcoholic/non-alcoholic drinks were provided (Andreas makes a mean spaghetti and shrimp pasta!).

Thanks for the trip boys!! Here’s a few photos ;)

  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! …

  Thanks a lot Andreas! The boat tour was superbe and your good mood so nice!

We were looking for a little bit more "intimate" tour than the big ones... read more offered on Milos and found this. We organised it very last minute (whatsapp to Andreas the night before). In the morning we met Andreas and his fishing boat, together with only 3 other couples. So a total of 9 very friendly persons for this nice tour.

Andreas showed us the coast, provided us with succulent local food at every stops (nice breakfast, shrimp spaghetti at lunch, watermelons, etc...).

Because we were only 8 people, we could enjoy each stop as much as we wanted.

We really had a fun and pleasant time with the whole group.

Andreas is a delightful and charming captain! His dog Ire is an absolute gem and so lovable. Plenty of delicious snacks and drinks provided throughout the day. Freshly caught fish from the net is prepared for the lunch we share, and it's divine. The group atmosphere is real pleasure.

I never expected to have such an unforgettable experience. Thank you, thank you, Andreas !

  What an incredible way to see Milos and surrounding islands! Our family of 7 was spoiled with a private tour to incredible swimming spots and to see rock formations.

  What a wonderful experience with Captain Andreas on his fishing boat! Our host recommended him vs the crowded tours, and how right he was! Just the 5 of us on... read more a private tour of the Island of Polyaigos. Having visited Kleftiko as well (on another trip) I highly recommend Captain Andreas & Polyaigos. It was more dramatic than Kleftiko, so if you have to choose between the two go with Captain Andreas. We stopped at several lovely places to swim, Andreas served little bites, pies, then prepared a simple but fantastic lunch of king size shrimp & pasta. His Mother's watermelon pie for dessert was also out of this world. Thank you for taking care of us! Go with Andreas for an unforgettable and authentic day on blue waters, which I haven't seen anywhere!

  We had an amazing time on the boat, there was enough space for all of us and the boat was nice and comfortabele.
