Lovely - The tour was incredible! Loved all the stops. If anything could have improved I would suggest longer stay in plaka v the beach. Or make it part of the itinerary letting tourists know that the stop is an hour to be prepared to swim.

Highly recommend this tour! - Great tour! It was so convenient getting picked up in the village we are staying in. We learned about the rich history of Milos from our driver. He was so knowledgeable and kind. The van was comfortable and air conditioned, which was very helpful in the summer heat. Highly recommend.

A Fun Way to See Milos - Our tour guide Gianis was very prompt in picking us up at our hotel. His English was easy to understand, and he highlighted the most interesting details along the way. He was our favorite guide of the dozen or so guides we had on our 19-day vacation. We highly recommend this fun and enjoyable tour of Milos.

Great tour!!! - We came from cruise ship and we took small group or private excursions on every Greek island. Milos trip with Marinos was the most informative, he is the best tour guide! I didn’t expect to learn soo much about his magnificent island. It was so well paced and we got to see sooo much. Want to give it 10 starts if I could.

Excellent introduction to Milos - An excellent tour of the island with knowledgeable explanations at every stop. The itinerary was flexible and we learnt about the full history of Milos including its industrial activity.

Worth it for the local perspective—esp if you don’t want to rent a car. - The guide was an expert in Milos history—in particular—the pirates. He was knowledgeable friendly etc. He even took us to one place we requested and a few places not in the description. However, the tour was from 10am-2pm—so four hours—not 5. I realized after that we never made it to catacombs or spent any time in Plaka (other than a quick drive through) and we missed the Venetian castle at the top as well.

Milos island to visit with boat and not to make stays - The island of Milos offers a great sea with unique colors as from Cyclades you want! But I strongly advise against staying on the island but book directly excursions with boats there are many and choose other islands where to stay the beaches are few reachable by scooter or car and in half the island is not allowed access except with 4x4. We took 8 days of vacation and if someone had explained this thing we would definitely opt for other islands. In August there is meltemi and so seeing the sea remains really difficult. Too rough the sea and is disabling to experience excursions by sea.

Fast ferries disfigure the coasts - Milos would be a perfect island for the many beaches it offers. Years ago the sea was crystal clear both from above and underwater. Over the years, eutrophication has covered the entire seabed with a patina that has become more opaque. This year the apotheosis: the new daily line Crete-Piraeus of the seajet passes very close to the coast without slowing down.Consequence: large waves storm pattern, bathers stuff flooded, sandy bottom turned and remains opaque and dirty water. If the seajet does not change the routes I do not recommend Milos (and all the islands on the seajets route)
