Milos Island Information
Depart by Luxury Yacht from this volcanic Cyclades gem, where dramatic coastlines meet crystal-clear Aegean waters
About Milos
Milos rises from the Aegean Sea as a volcanic island shaped by ancient eruptions, drawing travelers to its otherworldly landscapes and clear waters. Navy Blue Sea Transfers depart from this Greek Islands base, offering private Sea Transfers to Naxos and beyond. The island's Sarakiniko beach is known for lunar-white rock formations that glow against the turquoise water. The Kleftiko sea caves, which once sheltered pirates, now draw snorkelers exploring their clear depths. From the colorful Syrmata boat houses of Klima to the panoramic views of Plaka village, Milos offers an authentic side of the Cyclades. Your Sea Transfer begins here, where volcanic beauty meets Mediterranean hospitality.
Things to Do in Milos
-
Explore the legendary Kleftiko sea caves by Boat Tour, swimming through arched rock formations where pirates once anchored their vessels in hidden turquoise lagoons.
-
Walk across the lunar landscape of Sarakiniko beach at sunrise. The white volcanic rocks create an otherworldly backdrop for photos before your Cyclades departure.
-
Discover authentic Greek Islands village life in Plaka and Klima. Colorful boat houses and traditional tavernas offer a memorable farewell to Milos before your Sea Transfer.
Naxos Island Information
Step off your Luxury Yacht into the culinary heart of the Cyclades, where pottery traditions and monastery trails await
About Naxos
Naxos is the largest and greenest of the Cyclades, sitting at the heart of the Aegean. Navy Blue Sea Transfers arrive here by private yacht, replacing long ferry connections with a direct crossing. The harbor of Naxos Town is marked by the Portara, a vast marble doorway from an unfinished ancient temple that frames the sunset. Behind the waterfront, a maze of whitewashed lanes climbs to a Venetian castle quarter. Inland, mountain villages, olive groves, and fertile valleys give Naxos a character unlike other Cycladic islands. Long sandy beaches stretch down the western coast. Your Sea Transfer here opens a Cyclades island with room to explore.
Things to Do in Naxos
-
Stand beneath the Portara at sunset, the giant marble gate that has welcomed sailors to the island of Naxos for centuries.
-
Wander the Venetian Kastro in Naxos Town, a hillside quarter of arched lanes, old mansions, and quiet courtyards.
-
Drive inland to the marble villages of Halki and Apeiranthos, where local cuisine, kitron liqueur, and mountain scenery reward the trip.

The trip from Milos to Naxos felt much easier than we expected. Makis named the islands as we passed and had a story for nearly all of them. We relaxed on deck and watched the view change.

We wanted to arrive in Naxos feeling good rather than crawl off a crowded ferry. We had space, shade when we wanted it, and a lovely first view of the Portara as we came in.
Tomas Ferreira

We chose the Multi-Island Transfer and the kids are still talking about it. Swims near Kimolos, Sifnos and Despotiko, a freshly prepared lunch on deck, the open bar, and plenty of time for them to jump in again. They thought it was amazing!

I had work in Naxos and took the morning trip. I got through my emails on the way, had a quiet spot in the shade, and still arrived with enough energy for the rest of the day.

Six of us made a day of getting to Naxos and it became the story of the holiday. The food kept appearing and Haris had a running commentary about every island.

A pod of dolphins came alongside about halfway and stayed with us a good few minutes. My sister filmed all of it, and Domenikos cut the engines back so we could watch properly.

Messaged them on a Tuesday and we were on the water Thursday morning, which I did not expect in August. The quote came back the same afternoon, itemised, with no agent in the middle.

I play in an orchestra and was dreading getting a cello across on a ferry. They stowed it properly, strapped down, and Mits checked on it twice without me asking.

Last summer the ferry connections took up nearly all our day. This time we stayed together, spread out on deck, and reached Naxos without changing vessels or waiting around at another stop.

My partner proposed on the front of the boat about an hour in and I had no idea. Alex had been in on it since the booking and kept a completely straight face.
