Best Time to Take a Private Cruise in Milos

The summer months are the peak season in Milos, but the summer sun can be a bit too hot at times.

All the tours are booked up very quickly in the summer, so keep that in mind.

As one might imagine summer is the busiest time of year on the island of Milos, so if you’re looking for something a bit more exclusive then opt for an earlier date in the season.

Not only will you get better weather, but you’ll also have a much quieter experience out on the sea.
