5.00We had a most memorable tour thanks to Marios. He was extremely knowledgeable about the places we visited and a lover of history which my husband loved. The time spent at each stop was perfect and he ensured we got to see as much as possible on this tour. It was just two of us so in actual fact a private tour. Thanks again Marios, you are one of a kind

5.00This was a great experience to get to see all the main villages/towns in Milos. Then you can go back to the places you liked best. We went back to Sarakiniko and are planning to go back to Plaka to watch the sunset. The guide was soo knowledgeable and very friendly. He didn’t rush us. We even went to see the mines, thanks to the driver for his driving skills. I had no idea were even on Milos. Sarakiniko beach was breathtaking, he showed us the caves and gave us enough time to explore. We loved this tour and would highly recommend it.

5.00Our time on Milos was made even better by Yannis' knowledge of the area. We were able to see so many spectacular sights and he brought history to life. From the Imerys Mines to the Lunar Landscape (must not miss), to Plaka, seeing where the farmer uncovered the Venus de Milo statue and used it as part of his fence to the Roman Amphitheater. Yannis was kind enough to drop us off at the port instead of our hotel. Great half day tour! Thanks Yannis
