Tour Highlights
Choose between two accommodations in Pollonia, either En Milo or Kymata Studios
Enjoy shorter daily swim distances in the clear, turquoise waters of the Greek Islands
Explore a breathtaking variety of caves, tunnels, arches and underwater topography
Complete a range of stunning coastal swims and adventurous crossings between both inhabited and uninhabited islands
Discover the charm and beauty of the laid-back Greek culture and spectacular landscapes of Milos and its surrounding islands
This introductory Greek island swimming holiday gives you the opportunity to explore the beautiful volcanic coastline of Milos. Featuring spectacular sea caves, tunnels and breathtaking arches, Milos and its surrounding islands are an open geological museum just waiting to be explored.
The beautiful views and incredible geology that you will experience on this trip, both above and below the water, are some of the most spectacular that exist anywhere in the Mediterranean. From the deep, clear waters of the Aegean Sea to the white sand beaches and imposing rock formations that define the islands in this corner of the world, Milos is an idyllic location for open water swimmers.
Accompanied by our very own SwimTrek yacht throughout the week, this trip features a combination of stunning coastal swims and adventurous crossings to both inhabited and uninhabited islands. Combined with the spectacular island landscapes and the laid-back Greek culture, this SwimTrek adventure embraces the sense of exploration and discovery that we live by every day.

What a wonderful holiday! My first swim trek experience was even more fantastic than I realised it could be. Crystal clear water, caves and tunnels to explore, fun guides, great group and much more. I've already booked my next swim trek for next year.

Magical. Restorative waters, suitably stretching, always safe … regardless of speed capability. Am inspired by the seniors on the trip too! Never too old :-)

My first time to Greece surpassed my expectations. Milos has so much beautiful coastline to explore. With SwimTrek I felt safe and that I could go at my own pace, and meet fellow swimmers that love the same things I do
