Boat Tour to Kleftiko
This is the MUST-DO tour in Milos. If you can only do one tour or excursion during your stay, make it a boat tour to Kleftiko. Kleftiko, which can only be reached by boat, was the absolute highlight of our trip. With its dramatic white arch shaped rock formations and endless sea caves, it was truly a once in a lifetime experience. The best Kleftiko tours are those that provide a small dinghy boat, which allows you to explore the sea caves once you arrive at Kleftiko. Check out my post on our incredible experience with our boat tour to Kleftiko here.
