Milos Poseidon

  It was AMAZING.

Firstly, Andreas is a sweetheart. He was always checking up on us to make sure everything was alright.

The day of our excursion, we... read more went to multiple iconic islands and swimming sites in which we had the best time ever in the transparent blue and turquoise waters.

After some time, Andreas cooked us a delicious meal with all the fresh fish he caught the same morning. The soup and fish were amazing. We ate until we were full and he kept insisting for us to have more.

He didn’t see us as customers, he saw us as guests and to us that is one of the reasons we felt such at peace during this experience.

We LOVED it and HIGHLY recommend it to any couple, family or single traveller!

  We had a wonderful time. We appreciated a schedule change to avoid bad weather as we were really excited about the trip. It was just the two of us and... read more one family, so it felt very relaxed and private, unlike a party boat. We do recommend avoiding bringing small children. As others have said, the crew were very happy and helpful, and also flexible around our requests. The pace was relaxed but never dull, and we had plenty of stops for sightseeing and swimming. Fresh fish for lunch at sea is unforgettable. Overall a fantastic way to spend a day and see Milos, and it was also very reasonably priced. Absolutely recommend you do this while you stay in Milos!

  We had such a wonderful time on this tour! Polyaigos was absolutely stunning and Andreas was was amazing!! He provided us with lots of snacks & refreshments and made us... read more delicious seafood pasta for lunch. Would definitely recommend this trip!!

  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 :)

  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!

  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. Andreas... read more was a great captain who was very kind, relaxed and made sure we were having a great time. The delicious snacks and lunch moored among crystal waters and rock face backdrop made for such a special experience. Thank you 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.

  a wonderful experience - small boat for maximum 12 passengers, ideal for private travel,the 2 Andreas that make up the crew were wonderful - extremely friendly and helpful - they... read more managed to make us a beautiful day - lunch was fished in front of us , they gave us more time where we wished even if that meant going beyond their program. & thanks Poseideon team!

  Today we went for a private tour with Poseidon to and around Polyegos close to Milos island and had a wonderful day. The island and its beaches are fantastic, the... read more geology and the resulting color shades are really thrilling. The freshly caught fried fish meal we had on board was excellent - and perhaps most important: Andreas, the owner, fisher and skipper is an extremely friendly, humerous and warm hearted man. If you go for a trip, go with hIm.

  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. …

  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! …

  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.

  We booked a one day tour and did not exactly know what to expect. The second we have arrived we felt it was the right decision and we had a... read more wonderful day with a wonderful host taking care of all our little extras.

Fishing was a great experience and we spend a full day enjoying the nigburing islands with wonderful places to have a great swimm.

Thank you Andreas
