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 masterpiece, drawing travelers to its otherworldly landscapes and pristine waters. Navy Blue Sea Transfers depart from this stunning Greek Islands base, offering Private Yacht Charters to Santorini and beyond. The island's legendary Sarakiniko beach features lunar-white rock formations that glow against turquoise waters. Ancient Kleftiko sea caves once sheltered pirates and now welcome snorkelers exploring their crystal depths. From the colorful Syrmata boat houses of Klima to the panoramic views of Plaka village, Milos offers authentic Cyclades charm. Your Boat Transfer journey 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.

Santorini Island Information

Arrive by Luxury Yacht to this storied Cyclades island, where caldera cliffs frame whitewashed villages and deep Aegean blue

About Santorini

Navy Blue brings you to Santorini by luxury yacht, arriving at Athinios port with no crowded ferry queues. This volcanic Cyclades island rises from the Aegean Sea in layers of rust and chalk, crowned by the white clifftop villages of Oia and Fira. The caldera opens beneath blue-domed churches while the ancient Minoan city of Akrotiri rests preserved in ash below. Black sand stretches across Perissa and Kamari under warm afternoon light. Wine cellars carved into volcanic rock pour crisp Assyrtiko beside sea views. From your Boat Transfer departure in Milos to this Greek Islands arrival, every mile across open water builds anticipation.

Things to do in Santorini

  • Explore the caldera rim on a boat tour and step onto Nea Kameni to feel volcanic warmth beneath your feet. Nearby hot springs offer a Cyclades experience found nowhere else.

  • Walk the lanes of Oia as golden light fills the caldera at sunset. Blue domes and Aegean horizons frame the ideal backdrop for photos after your luxury yacht arrival.

  • Taste Assyrtiko wines at volcanic hillside vineyards overlooking the sea. Pair each glass with fresh seafood at a traditional Greek Islands taverna carved into the caldera cliff.

Guest experiences from the Milos to Santorini route, in both directions

Ruben Alcaraz, Navy Blue direct sea transfer guest from Milos to Santorini

Ruben Alcaraz

12 June, 2026

Getting from Milos to Santorini turned out to be one of the loveliest parts of our holiday. Alex welcomed us with such a warm smile that everyone felt comfortable. Two and a half hours later the caldera came up ahead of us. A really special way to arrive somewhere.

Orla Fitzgerald, Navy Blue honeymoon sea transfer guest from Milos to Santorini

My husband booked this as a honeymoon surprise and added the champagne without telling me. Anastasia had it chilled and waiting on the bow, and she timed it so that we were sitting up front with a glass in hand as Santorini came into view. She never made a fuss of it, she just quietly made it lovely.

Amara Okonkwo, Navy Blue multi-island sea transfer guest from Milos to Santorini

We took the full day version, which turned out to be the right call. Four stops, the open bar running from the first anchorage onwards, and Tressia with her warm smile, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Thank youuu!

Callum Reid, Navy Blue direct sea transfer guest from Milos to Ios

Callum Reid

4 August, 2026

We took the morning run across to Ios and it could not have been more straightforward. Flat water the whole two hours, plenty of shade whenever we wanted it. The crew were warm without being over the top. A lovely calm start to that part of our trip.

Anders Holm, Navy Blue direct sea transfer guest from Milos to Kea

Anders Holm

10 May, 2026

We came up from Milos to Kea and were alongside in Korissia before we knew it. A very civilized way to travel and we would happily do it again.

Mei Chen, Navy Blue multi-island sea transfer guest from Milos to Santorini

Mei Chen

28 July, 2026

We chose the multi island option because we had two children with us and wanted to break the day up, and it worked perfectly. They swam at Poliegos, we ate properly at Folegandros, and by the time we reached Sikinos the kids had decided it was their favorite island in Greece. Manos was endlessly patient with them.

Tobias Lindqvist, Navy Blue direct sea transfer guest from Santorini to Milos

Tobias Lindqvist

17 May, 2026

We took the afternoon run from Santorini over to Milos and it was the calmest few hours of the week. The sea was completely flat, we had the whole deck to spread out on. Traveling like that makes the day feel longer in a good way.

Elif Demirtas, Navy Blue direct sea transfer guest from Milos to Naxos

Elif Demirtas

16 July, 2026

Three hours from Milos across to Naxos and the water stayed smooth the entire way. Makis named every island we passed and had a story for most of them, which we absolutely loved. It felt far more like an excursion than a transfer.

Marguerite Bonnet, Navy Blue multi-island sea transfer guest from Milos to Koufonisia

Marguerite Bonnet

22 June, 2026

It is the part of the holiday we still talk about months afterwards. We stopped at Folegandros, then Sikinos, then Ios, swimming at every one of them, and Anastasia fed us beautifully the whole way east while the islands kept changing shape around us.

Beatriz Cardoso, Navy Blue multi-island sea transfer guest from Milos to Kythnos

Beatriz Cardoso

29 July, 2026

We made a full day of the journey up to Kythnos, stopping at Kimolos, Sifnos, and Serifos along the way, with Captain Domenikos. Tressia knew every bay we pulled into and why it was worth stopping there. Swimming, eating, and watching the coastline change all afternoon. One of our favorite days in Greece.
