Hidden gems of Greece yacht charters: Discovering Milos and Kimolos

Boasting a plethora of stunning archipelagos, Greece effortlessly entices Mediterranean yacht charters to explore her islands, promising incredible historical sites, exceptional diving locations, and authentic Mediterranean cuisine to whet every appetite. 

Renowned for glistening azure waters and landscapes sprinkled with whitewashed buildings, the Cyclades Islands are the most popular charter destination for Grecian archipelagos.

Featuring well-known islands like Naxos, the sacred island of Delos, Mykonos, and Santorini, this stunning region delivers unrivaled charter experiences, with many East Mediterranean yacht charters returning year after year. 

With large numbers of motor and sailing yacht charters heading to the more well-known islands within the Cyclades Island group, those seeking true authenticity and a quieter environment can seek sanctuary with Milos and Kimolos.

Situated in the southwest region of the Cyclades Islands territory, Milos and Kimolos are mesmerizing islands that are part of the Aegean volcanic arc, with striking rock formations around every bend. Composed of acidic volcanic rock, these islands have a natural elevation that paves the way for outstanding views during a boat charter.

Boasting a great selection of onshore excursions including the beautiful Sarakiniko Beach and its meringue-like rock formations, charter guests can enjoy tantalizing Greek cuisine at Oh Hammos, and delve into the past with the Venetian castle and catacombs.  

The Caves of Kleftiko offer the best opportunity to witness the true marvel of the incredible volcanic rock formations around the island, and just a short journey away, the smaller island of Kimolos awaits.

Maintaining its traditional charms and character, the lesser-known Kimolos features an impressive array of secluded beaches including Agios Georgios, and Kalamitsi, and is off the beaten track, away from mainstream tourism

Ideal for motor yacht charter guests wanting to stretch out sealegs, Kimolos offers incredible hiking routes with exceptional sweeping views, the natural monument of Skiadi, small churches, and local cafes along the way. 

The main village of Chorio and the port of Psathi provide further advantageous viewpoints of the captivating island, with charter guests able to integrate themselves into the Mediterranean way of life before returning to their chosen private yacht charter for an evening of Grecian delights under the stars.
