SOUTHERN COAST

FAVOURITE PLACES

Visit and explore unique geological formations such as Kleftiko, Gerontas, Sikia, Firiplaka and more.

Visit Kleftiko

25-35 minutes away

Located, just 25-35 minutes away from Firiplaka, Kleftiko is possibly the most iconic and famous location in Milos.

You can only visit Kleftiko by boat, and if you choose to rent a boat without a skipper, then you would have the most amazing and private experience possible.

This place has a long history. As a matter of fact, its name means “stealing-place” and it refers to centuries of pirate activity.

Also, it has many caves, which you can explore when swimming, huge white, wind and sea-carved, rocks and blue-green calm waters.

  • Just 25-35 minutes away from Firiplaka
  • Easy boat access
  • Sandy and rocky seabed (depending on the spot)
  • Ideal for swimming and snorkeling
Rent a boat with SUMMER STORIES

35-45 minutes away

Sikia cave is located on the southwestern coast of Milos, close to Kleftiko, and 35-45 minutes away from Firiplaka.

With a small pebble beach at end of the cave, lake-like calm waters, and a path to higher ground above the cave, this place is just amazing.

It is also, only accessible by boat, and recommended for more experienced captains because, on the way from Kleftiko to Sikia, you’ll be exposed to northern winds and waves.

Additionally, even though entering the cave of Sikia is quite easy because of the huge entrance, the cave itself can be dangerous to the boat as many submerged rocks make accessing the small beach inside the cave almost impossible without our skipper.

  • Just 35-45 minutes away from Firiplaka
  • Difficult boat access
  • Pebble beach and rocky seabed (Very dangerous close to the beach)
  • Ideal for swimming and snorkeling, if you choose to have a skipper

10-15 minutes away

Gerakas beach is located right after Tsigrado and it’s 10-15 minutes away from Firiplaka.

The location is simply amazing and it’s possibly our favourite.

It is only accessible by boat, and one of its greatest advantages is that it has significantly less traffic than Kleftiko, while sharing a similarly imposing landscape and colors.

The unreal white river-like sandy cliffs, the blue-green waters, and the coarse sandy beach, will convince you to spend most of your available time.

  • Close to Firiplaka
  • Easy boat access (perfect if renting a boat without a licence)
  • Sandy beach (coarse sand) and seabed
  • Ideal for swimming and snorkeling

20-30 minutes away

Gerontas beach is located just before Kleftiko and it’s 20-30 minutes away from Firiplaka.

The location is quite famous for its fine-sand beach, its swallow waters, and its difficult access from land.

All the above, alongside the fact that it’s on your way to visit Kleftiko, provides the opportunity to check out a unique location.

  • Close to Kleftiko
  • Sandy beach (fine sand) and seabed
  • Ideal for swimming and snorkeling

5 minutes away

Tsigrado is the closest beach to Firiplaka and it’s only 5 minutes away.

It’s one of the most famous locations in Milos. It is very difficult to reach the beach from the land (it requires climbing with a rope), it’s located inside a very narrow and rocky gulf and while the total length of the beach is approximately 40 meters, it has interesting secret spots and pool-like rock formations.

In conclusion, it’s quite obvious that renting a boat to visit Tsigrado is highly recommended.

  • Close to Firiplaka
  • Sandy beach (fine sand) and rocky seabed
  • Ideal for swimming and snorkeling

HAVING QUESTIONS?

FAQ

No licence is required to drive our boats.

However, if you think you’ll need a skipper, please let us know before booking to confirm availability.

Driving a boat for the first time can be complicated.

However, we offer comprehensive training, including a test drive.

Furthermore, we won’t provide the boat if we still have concerns about your safety.

If we still have safety concerns after your test drive, we will either assign you a skipper, reschedule (depending on skipper availability), or cancel your boat rental.

In any case, if we cancel your boat rental for this reason, you’ll receive a full refund.

A security deposit of 450€ is held during your boat rental to cover potential minor damages, such as a damaged propeller.

This amount is refunded at the end of your rental once fuel charges are settled.

We provide both payment options, but if you opt to use your card, please be aware that it may take a day or two for the refund to appear in your account.

Additionally, in rare cases and depending on your bank, there might be a small charge for transaction purposes.

Fuel is not included in any of our plans and is billed separately based on consumption.

A typical consumption/price for a 4-hour rental is in the range of 40-50€.

When you make an online booking for one of our boats, we reserve the boat for 8 hours.

This allows you the flexibility to upgrade your plan at any time, up to the limit of 8 hours from the scheduled departure time.

Additionally, we advise following the agreed schedule to prevent any delays.

Due to the weather factor, we highly recommend planning your boating day for the initial days of your stay in Milos.

This way, if the weather isn’t good, you’ll have a better chance of rescheduling.

The boats are insured, but you are primarily responsible for any damage/loss to the boat and its equipment.

In such a case, you will have to fully compensate for the required repairs/equipment and the resulting loss of earnings.

Also, you are responsible for the actions of the rest members of your party as well.

Usually, the weather of Milos is defined by northern winds of variable intensity.

As a result, Kleftiko is very easy to reach, even by a small boat, since it’s located on the protected southern side of Milos.

Occasionally, southern winds may appear and unfortunately, in this case, all bookings must be rescheduled, or cancelled (see “CANCELLATION POLICY” under our RENTAL TERMS page).

To begin with, you must bring a valid passport (or ID) so that we can use it to issue the Rental Agreement.

Also, you must bring a valid credit/debit card (or cash) for withholding the security deposit of 450€
(we accept MASTERCARD, VISA, V-PAY and MAESTRO).

Lastly, you need to have a fully charged mobile phone, as it is essential onboard, and it will have to be always switched on to communicate in any case.
