Detailed
itinerary:
The yacht will depart from the village of Pollonia at 09:30 daily,
setting course to Polyegos island, the biggest uninhabited island of Greece.
After about 50 minutes, she will arrive at the Blue Waters location at the south
of the island. This is a famous yachting destination, famous worldwide for the
turquoise color of the sea due to the bright white rocks which surround the
area. This is our first refreshing swimming stop (about 30mins).Then we will
head back to Milos, towards the Sulphur Mines, the ghosttown of east of Milos.
An abounded sulfur processing factory of the late 1950s now creating a unique
setting of industrial photography. Yellow and red colors of the earth blend
with the sea, giving us some very nice photo opportunities. The yacht will
notstop in the Sulphur mines, but will make a slow “photographic” pass.
Cruising
now along the east and south side of the island and about 1hr and 20mins from
our last
stop is time for our next one at the beach of Gerakas. Close to a significant
deposit of perlite
(one of the most famous minerals of Milos), Gerakas is only approachable by the
sea. Long
white sand slides of perlite, meet the sea offering an impressive setting.
Another 30mins
of swimming and then we start again with destination to Kleftiko! The
yacht will cruise along the south side of Milos, where you will be able to
witness the coast
line with the beaches of Paliochori, Aghia Kyriaki, Tsigrado, Fyriplaka,
Provatas, Gerontas (with a quick second swimming and mezes stop) and after about 1,5hr later, Kleftiko!
Kleftiko
is the famous landmark
of Milos. Here we will have a longer stop allowing plenty of time
for snorkeling (equipment isavailable
on board), swimming and last but no least a cave tour with a small tender boat
to the sea
caves
of Kleftiko. The area here is full of sea caves and it’s
impossible to swim along all of
them (they are too many and far apart), so with our tender boat navigated from
one of our crew
members, you will get to see most of them! Lunch
will be served duringthe
stop in Kleftiko. Traditional dishes
such as moussaka or veal cooked in tomato sauce and others accompanied
by Greek salad. Alternative options
are provided for those with
special dietary requirements (vegeterian,
vegan options are
available). Greek bottled dry white wine will complete this gastronomical
journey (beer and
other beverages are also available).
Once
we have enjoyed Kleftiko, the yacht will set course back to Pollonia, via the
south side with
a last swim
stop in Tsigrado or Fyrligos beach.
In case of strong north winds, an alternative itinerary is followed, with embarakation from Provatas beach, and stops to swim in Gerakas, Tsigrado and Kleftiko, avoiding the north parts that will be affected by the wind.
To
ensure
maximum comfort depending on the weather conditions the trip might modified by
the captain. He will try to visit Kleftiko no matter how the rest of the
itinerary will vary. The
only reason not to visit Kleftiko is to have south winds, something uncommon
for the period
of 15/6 until 10/9, when we usually have north wind.
