Fantastic! Our guide...
Fantastic! Our guide obviously loves this island. It was wonderful to learn about its history from ancient to modern times, and to see the natural beauty of Milos.

Great overview of the most important sites on Milos
There are several stops and a bit of walking so take your walking shoes. It can get tiring in the heat but our guide, Mario, ensured we were back in the airconditioned van often and offered us several bottles of cold water. Mario was an excellent guide and showed us some extra sites that were not on the tour itinerary - very interesting and we saw so many beautiful sites on this tour. I travelled with my husband and we were joined by another couple - an almost private tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and Mario’s excellent guidance. We’re happy you had such a memorable experience discovering beautiful sites. We hope to see you again!

Response from the operator: Thank you! We’re glad you enjoyed Milos and Kostas’s excellent guidance. We hope to see you again!

There’s a lot of walking,...
There’s a lot of walking, but the history is great. Sarakiniko Beach is incredible to see. Our driver was very friendly and knew so much about Milos.
Response from the operator: Thank you! We’re glad you enjoyed Milos’ history and the stunning Sarakiniko Beach. We’ll share your kind words with our driver!

Milos Tour
Kostas was an amazing guide. He was accommodating of everyone, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about showing us all Milos has to offer. He was easy to talk to and it felt like we were good friends by the end of the tour. He went above and beyond by arranging transportation for me to have a special birthday dinner in Plaka that evening, and suggested both a restaurant and foods to try.

Milos island:Step Back in Time: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Milos.
How much does Milos island:Step Back in Time cost?
+
Prices start at $100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Milos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Milos island:Step Back in Time take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Milos is not rushed.
Is Milos island:Step Back in Time worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 41 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Milos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Milos island:Step Back in Time?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Milos island:Step Back in Time suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Milos island:Step Back in Time?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Milos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Milos and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Milos island:Step Back in Time start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Milos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Milos?
+
On Outty we rank every Milos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Milos Small-Group Full-Day Cruise with Snorkelling and Lunch, Best of Milos and Poliegos Catamaran snorkelling Cruise with BBQ, CATAMARAN Kleftiko Poliegos & Round of Milos Lunch with Openbar. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Milos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Milos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
Included: Map; Water; Pick up drop off; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Guide. Not included: Entrance Fess; Lunch; Personal Expenses; and Entrance fees 4 euro. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1 listed pickup location in and around Milos. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Milos island:Step Back in Time offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Milos island:Step Back in Time?
