Swim, explore and relax
On our Kleftiko Boat Trip
We offer two daily trips to explore Kleftiko, the island’s most iconic spot. Our morning trip departs at 10:00 am and runs until 2:00 pm, while our afternoon trip departs at 3:00 pm and runs until 7:00 pm. Both trips depart from the idyllic beach of Agia Kiriaki, located at the southern part of the island.
Our main destination is the breathtaking “Kleftiko”, where we stop for at least an hour to give you ample time to swim, relax, and capture some stunning photos. We also make a secondary stop at the beautiful “Gerakas” bay for half an hour, for a refreshing second swim.

While the north wind finds itself blocked by the cliffs of Milos, a south wind is a different story, as it blows directly onto the southern coastline where our tours operate. When the intensity is low, it creates a light breeze that barely ruffles the surface, and our steady boat handles these conditions with ease, posing no issue to the experience.
However, because the south wind blows directly into our tour zone, a moderate wind has a long, unobstructed path across the open sea to build up energy. This generates a gentle swell that rolls into the coast, creating a rhythmic rocking motion on the boat. While perfectly safe, this sensation can be noticeable. If the wind is forecast to be strong, we proactively cancel the tour. This decision is made purely with your comfort in mind, ensuring that your time on the water remains a pleasant and enjoyable memory rather than an uncomfortable one.

Meltemia in the Aegean Sea (wikipedia)
“Meltemia” are relatively strong northern winds, that occur during summer season in the Aegean Sea. Our boat tours with “Zefiros” are not affected by “meltemia”, since they are held in the southern part of the island of Milos. This area is even characterised by the local port authority as “protected area” from northern winds!
This means that a substantial traditional wooden boat like “Zefiros”, can travel not only safely, but stable as well, even in rough seas!
When sailing at these conditions, the sea is almost flat with no waves, that can not cause nausea.
Last but not least, “Kleftiko” is a natural bay, that is totally protected from “meltemia”. So you can enjoy your swim with no concern to high winds!

Important to know
WHAT'S THERE TO OFFER?
During the trip, you’ll get to discover the otherwise road-inaccessible southern part of the island. As we sail past Gerakas, Tsigrado, Firiplaka, and Gerontas you will have the opportunity to observe the unique geological formations, created by the volcanic activity that gave birth to Milos. There will be two swim stops: the first and longest is for an hour at Kleftiko, where you can swim and explore its crystal-clear waters. The second stop is for about half an hour at Gerakas Bay, for a refreshing second swim.
On board, you can relax on the upper deck in the sun or shade. Complimentary water, iced coffee (frappe), and iced tea are available. During the stop at Kleftiko, we also serve some small delicacies and cold raki, free of charge.
