Kleftiko Caves: A Photo Journey of the Most Photographed Spot in Milos

Located on the remote southwestern coast of Milos (part of Greece’s Cyclades Islands), Kleftiko can only be reached by the sea. This unique volcanic area consists of remarkable caves, impressive rock formations and crystal clear water. Also known as ‘bandit’s lair’, Kleftiko used to be a famous hiding spot for pirates. Today, it’s a playground for visitors arriving on every type of boat, from little dinghies to super mega-yachts. Whether you come by a private boat or group excursion, you’re guaranteed to have a wonderful time snorkeling, swimming, and exploring the jaw-dropping caves and rock formations. The water around Keftiko is this brilliant, jewel-like shade of turquoise and it gets even more electric inside the caves! We went on a sailboat day trip with Excellent Yachting out of Pollonia and had a wonderful experience. Come along with us we visit Kleftiko in pictures below:
