Sail around Milos and Polyaigos for swimming, snorkeling, caves, beaches, meals, drinks, and expert island stories in one long day.
“This was a lovely tour around the entire island. Our tour guide was amazing! The food was alright (dry sandwich, but then delicious apps, spaghetti with tuna for dinner), and drinks were flowing. The sites were beautiful. My only complaint would be that it was VERY crowded. There wasn't enough seating up front for everyone, but in the back you couldn't hear the tour guide. Also, they allowed smoking on the boat which was pretty gross while trying to eat dinner. Overall, it was a great tour and I'd do it again, but just wish there were like 6 less people so we could all have seats in the main…”
