Milos
Explore Milos from the sky with scenic helicopter access from nearby islands, and uncover a landscape shaped by volcanic forces, ancient history, and hidden Aegean beaches.
A Natural Masterpiece Revealed
Milos is one of the most geologically fascinating islands in Greece—formed by volcanic activity and rich in mineral diversity. Its coastline is dotted with surreal rock formations, multicolored cliffs, and over 70 beaches. A scenic helicopter flight from Santorini, Paros or Athens offers the ideal way to witness this striking landscape from the air. Although there is no dedicated heliport on Milos, landings can be arranged at the island’s airport with prior approval or nearby open areas under controlled conditions. This makes Milos a suitable destination for customized helicopter sightseeing or as part of a private inter-island charter experience.

Sarakiniko and Kleftiko: Icons of the Island
Milos is home to some of the most photographed coastal sites in Greece. Sarakiniko, with its lunar-like white rock and turquoise coves, is especially breathtaking from above, where the contrast between land and sea becomes clear. Kleftiko, accessible mainly by boat, is another highlight—its hidden caves and dramatic arches once sheltered pirates. Aerial views during a helicopter approach showcase the inaccessible corners of the island’s southern coastline. While most visitors reach these by sea, a helicopter sightseeing extension offers a visual overview of these geological wonders before exploring them up close by land or water.
Plaka and Ancient Milos
The hilltop village of Plaka, with its neoclassical houses, narrow alleys and panoramic sunset views, is the cultural heart of the island. From here, paths lead to the ancient theatre and catacombs, and further to the discovery site of the Venus de Milo, now in the Louvre. While these sites are best explored on foot, a helicopter arrival to Milos provides a time-saving and scenic alternative for travelers coming from Cycladic neighbors or Athens. Once landed, a private ground transfer can take guests directly to the historical highpoints—seamlessly blending air mobility with on-the-ground cultural immersion.


Villages and Authentic Island Life
Beyond the beaches, Milos charms with quiet fishing villages like Klima, Mandrakia and Pollonia, where colorful boat houses—called syrmata—line the shore. These postcard-perfect settlements are scattered along the coast, some tucked into coves only visible from above. Aerial photography enthusiasts often choose scenic helicopter flyovers for unique angles on these coastal gems. While there are no regular helipad facilities in the villages, flybys can be coordinated to provide dramatic perspectives before descending to the island’s official airstrip. This makes it possible to pair traditional island culture with high-end travel logistics.
Cuisine Rooted in Simplicity
Milos cuisine is shaped by land and sea: dishes like karpouzopita (watermelon pie), pitarakia (small cheese pies), and fresh sea urchin salads reflect the island’s seasonal, humble bounty. Many tavernas source ingredients directly from surrounding farmland and nearby waters. Guests arriving via private helicopter charter can opt for lunch stops in Pollonia or Adamas, where gourmet interpretations of traditional recipes meet seafront dining. Though the island is quiet and underdeveloped compared to others in the Cyclades, that’s precisely what makes these culinary experiences feel authentic—especially when combined with the convenience of air access from more frequented neighboring destinations.


Connections, Privacy and Scenic Routes
While Milos doesn’t have a public heliport, its airport (MLO) can accommodate private helicopter arrivals with prior coordination—making it a realistic option for those traveling from Athens, Santorini, or Paros. For travelers seeking privacy, Milos offers a discreet alternative to busier islands, with the added bonus of scenic helicopter approaches over volcanic hills and mineral-colored cliffs. Though not a hub for aviation traffic, Milos is perfectly suited for custom itineraries where style, flexibility, and remote beauty are key. Whether you arrive for a day trip or a longer escape, the island rewards you with a rare combination of serenity and spectacle.
