Yacht Charters in Milos

Milos is the most southerly island in the Western Cyclades. It has a distinctive horseshoe shape and it owes its distinctive topography and the pattern of its economy to its origin as the caldera of a volcano to which the sulphurous hot springs of the island still bear witness. There are places where yachters could moor and each is a charming place in itself. Adhamas is a naturally created harbor from the eruption of the volcano offers good shelter from the meltemi but should be avoided in strong southerly winds.

The bay of Apollonia offers good shelter from the meltemi. There is a small pier but the maximum depth is 3 meters. And Pirgonisi provides excellent shelter from the meltemi as well as a long sandy beach for a swim.  Some of Greece’s most impressive beaches are located here. The island is a favorite destination for tourists on a sailing holiday or island hopping by ferry.  Its fame spread throughout the civilized world thanks to the masterpiece of the Venus de Milo, a statue found buried on the island in the 19th century.

But you have to take note that there are regulations governing yacht chartering. Up until 2003 if your yacht was to be chartered in Greek waters then it had to be registered in Greece. The amount of paperwork was prodigious and the charter agreement might be checked at any port. But now any EU-flagged boat can charter in Greece as long as it complies with Greek safety regulations for charter boats. A number of companies will put your boat under the Greek flag and charter it, paying you a percentage of the returns as well as allowing you the use of your boat in the off-season and for a limited period in the season. So be sure you choose a reputable company to charter you.
