Milos Yacht Charter Guide
Milos is one of the most unique islands in the Cyclades and a favorite among yacht captains—voted the #1 island at the Mediterranean Yacht Show by professional crew. Its wild, volcanic landscape, crystal-clear anchorages, and cinematic beaches make it a standout for those seeking natural beauty and adventure.
Compared to more high-profile islands, Milos offers a slower pace and a sense of discovery. It’s a place to swim through caves, anchor off surreal cliffs, and explore remote coves—without the crowds. For a Cyclades yacht charter that feels off the beaten track (but still has everything you need), Milos is a must.
