Want to sail the Greek islands on a traditional sailing ship? Maybe you like being in boats, but you don’t want to buy your own? Milos Trips is the ideal opportunity to sail in the Aegean Sea.
Milos trips is a family-run company in Milos that offers sailing experiences on Milos Island. They offer cruises around Milos and the surrounding islands in traditional wooden sailboats.
Thalassitra is a traditional wooden sailing ship which was completed by the owner, Mr. Lillis, who has a passion for the sea and since he was a small child, he dreamed of sailing on the waves of the Aegean.
Leloudo is a traditional wooden boat that is usually referred to as the "sister" of Thalassitra. The owners of Leloudos and Thalassitra are brothers. Leloudos runs a similar route to Thalassitra and makes a daily trip around Milos, with a visit to the island of Polyaigos.
What exactly do Thalassitra and Leloudo offer on their cruises? The journey starts from the port of Milos (Adamas) and follows a route around the islands of Milos and Polyaigos. During the journey, the boat stops at beaches and sea caves, which are only accessible from the sea.
You can take photos, swim in the crystal clear waters, and enjoy the hospitality. Traditional food is prepared before your eyes as you travel. High-quality ingredients and local products are the focus of the trip.
Breakfast, Lunch (buffet with 10 different local traditional dishes and salads), sweets, coffees, beers, and soft drinks is offered. During the stops, you can swim as much as you like and there is also equipment for snorkeling. There is also a tour guide, who will inform you about the history of the places you will see.
The boats normally depart from the port of Adamas every day at 9.30 am. and return around 7.00 pm. Depending on the weather, the boats may also depart from Pollonia or Paleochori. The tours include stops at the top beaches and parts of Milos.

Milos Island is like the little sister to Santorini. It is located nearby in the Cyclades and is known for its whitewashed houses and legendary sunsets. Out of all the islands with white buildings in Greece, it is less visited when compared to Santorini, while also being close to Athens. There are many caves and volcanic rock formations that kids love to explore, and also hidden caves where pirates used to hide.
The famous cove of Kleftiko is a popular spot on Milos island and used to be a pirates’ hideout. It is known for its pristine water, its network of caves, and incredible rock formations. During the summer, many boats stop here because it is only reachable by boat.
Thalassitra also stops at Sykia Cave, which is special because the roof has collapsed. There is a round opening that acts as a natural skylight, and the cave lights up from this unique feature. This is the biggest sea cave of Milos and is found in the southwest area of the island. The only way to reach Sykia Cave is by boat, and only small boats can enter through the passage.
Polyaigos roughly translates to “island full of goats” and it is the largest island of the Aegean without residents. It is unique for its wild landscapes, stunning beaches, and untouched natural beauty. It is a great destination for a day trip from Milos, especially for swimming.
The Aegean is known for its strong winds, also called the “Meltemi.” The Meltemi are a katabatic wind that comes down from northern Greece and shoots through the Cycladic islands. The Meltemi peak at 15-20 knots. As a general rule, they start in the early afternoon and die down in the evening, but can also blow for multiple days nonstop.
The Cycladic islands, including Milos, are affected by the Meltemi, especially when the land heats up in the summertime. The Meltemi winds fade away in the Autumn, making for good late-season voyages.

Weddings in Greece are no longer limited to a single day. Increasingly, they are planned as multi-day stays, with couples and their guests spending several days in one location. Most of these weddings involve couples coming from abroad. Instead of traveling only for the ceremony, they organize a broader stay that includes time for gathering, exploring, and hosting additional events. The wedding becomes part of a longer visit rather than a standalone occasion.
