Milos Attraction

A tour office in Adamas harbour with sailing catamaran cruises to Kleftiko, in the morning, in the afternoon with sunset or a full day with Polyaigos, in a group or private.

Who they are

Milos Attraction is a small agency in Adamas, the main port of Milos, devoted almost entirely to day cruises on a sailing catamaran. It was founded by Polychronis Mavros, born on the island in 1974, who has run catamarans professionally since 2008. The website insists on two things: safety and the treatment of passengers. It is not a big shipping line: the boats belong to the captains themselves. The company cites two Dufour Nautitech catamarans, a 395 that Polychronis has had since 2008 and a 475 belonging to Nikolaos Xenakis, a professional skipper since 1984. A third captain, Emmanouel-Georgios Dalis, holds sailor and sailing qualifications and lifeguard training. The website does not say how many passengers each boat holds.

What cruises it runs

Everything revolves around the southwest coast of Milos, which can only be seen well from the sea, and above all Kleftiko, the former pirates' lair with its arches and caves of white rock. There are four formats, each with its entry on this page:

• Full day, from 9:00 to 19:00, to Kleftiko and the uninhabited island of Polyaigos.
• Morning, from 9:00 to 15:15, to Kleftiko.
• Afternoon, from 15:30 until after sunset.
• Private, morning or afternoon, with the boat just for your group.

The season matches the Cyclades summer, but the website does not publish start and end dates. With strong meltemi, the summer north wind, the route depends on the state of the sea, as on any boat on the island.

Meeting point, groups and children

The private cruises leave from and return to Adamas. For the shared ones, the website has a "Meeting Point" link with a map, and the exact place arrives with the booking. It does not publish the maximum group size or a minimum age, nor does it say what food, drink or snorkelling gear is included. It is worth asking when you book, especially if you are going with small children or want to know whether to bring food.

Booking, cancellation and languages

You book online from the website's "Book now" button, or by phone on +30 697 724 2089 and the landline +30 2287 027656. You can also write to [email protected] or to the WhatsApp +30 693 114 8648, which answers from 8:00 to 15:00. The website does not publish the cancellation policy or what happens if bad weather forces a departure to be cancelled, so you need to ask for it in writing before paying. The captains speak Greek and English, and Polychronis also Italian. The website is in English and Greek, with no Spanish version.
