What Makes Gerakas Special
A white-cliff beach on the southern coast of Milos, accessible only by sea
The White Cliffs and Sulfur Lagoon of South Milos
Gerakas is a white-cliff beach on the southern coast of Milos, in the Cyclades, reachable only by sea. Its coastline was shaped by eruptions, wind, and centuries of erosion, with bright sulfur-yellow streaks cutting across the pale cliff face. Shallow turquoise water glows against the white shoreline, best seen on a boat tour.
For centuries, Gerakas remained largely untouched by visitors. The steep cliffs and rocky shoreline kept the area isolated from the main villages and ports of the Cyclades. Early miners once searched these formations for sulfur and bentonite, drawn by the rich mineral deposits across the cliff face. The terrain was too rugged for settlement, which is exactly why it kept its original character.
Today, Gerakas is admired for its striking contrast of white stone, sulfur gold, and deep blue sea. A Navy Blue Boat Tour brings guests close to details impossible to see from land.

Gerakas Boat Tour FAQs
Everything you need to know about our boat tours to Gerakas in Milos
Is Gerakas Beach Accessible Only by Boat?
Yes. Gerakas is one of the few beaches in Milos with zero road access. There are no paths or hiking trails to the shore. The only way to reach the white cliffs and sand of Gerakas is by boat, making it a remarkably secluded coastal destination in the Cyclades.
Navy Blue boat tours depart from Adamantas, Agia Kiriaki, or Pollonia and cruise along the southern coast of Milos to reach Gerakas. The coastline is too steep and remote for any land-based approach, which is why the beach remains uncrowded even in peak season. A Private Cruise or Semi-Private Cruise includes Gerakas as a stop on the South Cruise itinerary, often combined with nearby Kleftiko for a full day along the coast.
What Are the Bubbles in the Water at Gerakas?
The bubbles at Gerakas are natural volcanic gases escaping from the seabed. Mild geothermal activity beneath the shoreline creates small thermal vents that release warm air into the shallow water. You can sometimes feel the warmth by pressing your hand into the sand near the waterline.
This geothermal feature is part of the broader volcanic geology that shaped Milos and the surrounding Cyclades islands. The same forces that created the white cliffs and sulfur streaks at Gerakas also produced these underwater vents. Your crew can point out the most active areas during your swim stop. The thermal springs are gentle and safe for swimming, adding a sensory layer to a Boat Tour that most visitors do not expect.
Is Gerakas Better for Swimming or Snorkeling?
Gerakas is excellent for both. The sandy bottom and shallow turquoise lagoon make it a comfortable spot for swimming, while the rocky edges along the cliff base offer clear visibility and volcanic formations for snorkeling.
On a Navy Blue Cruise, the crew anchors in the sheltered bay and provides snorkeling gear so you can explore both sides of the coastline. Swimmers enjoy the calm, shallow water that extends far from shore, while snorkelers follow the cliff edges where small caves and rock arches create sheltered channels with marine life below the surface. The combination of sand and rock makes Gerakas a versatile swim stop on any Boat Tour in Milos.
Is There Shade at Gerakas Beach?
There is no natural shade on Gerakas Beach until late afternoon, when the tall white cliffs begin to block the sun. On a Navy Blue Boat Tour, the yacht provides a shaded deck with comfortable seating and a cool retreat between swims.
Because Gerakas has no facilities, trees, or structures of any kind, sun protection is essential for any visit. On a Private Cruise or Semi-Private Cruise, chilled drinks from the open bar and shaded lounge areas on board keep you comfortable throughout the stop. Your crew times the anchor based on conditions and light, so you can enjoy the beach at its brightest turquoise and return to the yacht whenever you need a break from the sun.
Can You Combine Gerakas and Kleftiko on the Same Boat Tour?
Yes. Gerakas and Kleftiko are located minutes apart on the southern coast of Milos, and most Navy Blue Boat Tours include both on the South Cruise itinerary. You visit the white cliffs and sand-slides of Gerakas and the sea caves of Kleftiko in a single trip.
On a half-day Private Cruise or Semi-Private Cruise, the South Cruise route covers both Gerakas and Kleftiko along with additional stops at Tsigrado and Gerontas. Full-day cruises extend further south, adding Thiorichia, Sikia Cave, and other coastline destinations. A Multi-Island Cruise can also include Gerakas as part of a broader journey through the Cyclades. Your captain plans the route based on weather and wind conditions for a full and comfortable day.

We visited Gerakas on a morning cruise and the white cliffs were glowing in early light. The water was so clear we could see the sandy bottom from the deck. Incredible start to the day.

Gerakas was the calmest stop on our trip. Shallow warm water, white cliffs changing in the afternoon light, and a shaded deck to retreat to whenever we wanted.

Brought the family including two kids under ten. The shallow water at Gerakas was ideal for them. Meanwhile we took turns snorkeling along the cliff base. Thoughtful crew throughout.

The cliffs at Gerakas are taller than photos suggest. Completely wild beach, no umbrellas, no crowds. Just white sand and deep blue water.

The white cliff backdrop at Gerakas was something none of us had ever seen. We spent the entire stop photographing the coastline while the crew kept cold drinks coming.

I grew up in Greece and Gerakas still surprised me. The white sand slides running down the cliff face are unlike anything else in the Cyclades. We combined it with Kleftiko for a full day.

First time in Milos and Gerakas was the highlight. No road access keeps it completely empty. White cliffs, bright turquoise water, and warm volcanic sand beneath your feet.

Booked a half-day cruise along the southern coast with stops at Gerakas and Gerontas. The scenery from the water is something you just cannot get from land.

I proposed at Gerakas and she said yes. White cliffs, turquoise water, and complete silence except for the sea. The crew surprised us with champagne afterwards. Thank you Navy Blue.

Came to Gerakas for photography. The sulfur-yellow streaks across white rock gave incredible contrast in every frame. Our captain positioned the yacht at just the right angle.

We had the yacht to ourselves for a full day. Started at Gerakas, cruised to Kleftiko for the caves, and finished at Poliegos for a late swim. Three completely different landscapes in one trip.

Gerakas and Sarakiniko in the same day. Two completely different worlds. White sand-slides and turquoise lagoon at one, smooth pale rock at the other. The food on board was generous and fresh.
