Push off from Lagada Beach in Adamas and dip your paddle into Milos’ unbelievably clear water. As you kayak north, hug the island’s rocky coast, discovering hidden little coves, catacombs, and cliffs streaked with warm orange and red.

With the sea moving under your kayak, the best part comes when you round that last bend: suddenly, Klima’s famous syrmata – that whole row of brightly painted boathouses – pops into view right on the water’s edge.

Seeing Klima this way, from the sea just like the fishermen always have, especially as the setting sun lights up the cliffs and those colorful doors, really shows you why this place feels so special. It’s the perfect way to experience it.
