We recommend you to rent a car bike or take the bus and visit a wonderful spot called Sarakiniko. A unique place with white rocks that can have amazing shapes often compared to a moonscape. Finish your day at the capital of Milos Plaka enjoying a wonderful sunset drinking a mojito.

The round of Milos up to Kleftiko 26nm (6 hours). Today we are going to explore the wonderful west coast of the island with the hundreds of beaches up to Kleftiko. Kleftiko is a place accessible only by boat with a unique beauty. The complex of these volcanic original rocks is a magical landscape worthy of admiration, and also a part to enjoy the sensation of the transparent blue-green waters and the sun. Kleftiko used to be an old hide-out for pirates from where the pirates’ ships used to pass and anchor so as to get protected in its small creeks and imposing rocks. In the afternoon we will return to Adamas again. Its recommended to visit the catacombs and the village just under the catacombs , Plaka. Here you will see hundreds of caves used as private parking for the small boats.

Milos Poliaigos. 15nm 3 (hours) today we are going to stay on anchor for the night. Polyaigos is an uninhabited island full of goats. Here you can experience all the variations of blue and green in the sea, peaceful night and white rocks in amazing formations. Be prepared with food on board because there is no tavern.

Poliaigos – Antiparos 32nm (6hours) . Stop for swimming at Despotiko and overnight at Antiparos town. Antiparos is the last island of our cruise. Wandering around the small streets of the beautiful village, have dinner in one of the hundreds restaurants and continue with a drink at one of the locals bars. Night life here, especially at high season is a must for everyone.

We strongly recommend you before setting sail for our final destination, to visit the cave of Antiparos. Buses are operating just 100 meters away from the yacht. On your return on board we will leave immediately for a nice anchorage at a small island north of Antiparos with crystal clear water. The afternoon has already come as well as the farewell time at Paros port.
