Sailing to an Abandoned Mine [Ep.21] 60 Years Untouched - URBEX Milos Greece - Sailing SV CUBA

Jump on board SV CUBA as we sail the Greek Islands on our journey around the world.

Today when we encounter a strange object floating in the distance. So, the hunt to grab the mysterious object is on and after a few attempts we finally reel in an impressive catch on our boathook. But we are not out to fish, so we press on, on our sail from Sifnos to Milos and seek out the abandoned mines in Milos where everything from equipment, machinery and clothing is left behind almost untouched. This place is definitely off the beaten track and we are wondering if Urbex has jet checked out this location.

We anchor early in the morning to be able to leave our sailboat alone, grab some safety gear and jump into our mining dinghy. A place frozen in time with many interesting things to discover, the mines have been built more than 60 years ago and much of the original structures and processes of sulfur extraction can still be found along the rugged coast.

As the winds change towards the afternoon, we decide to sail to the other side of the island to discover the extra-terrestrial looking lunar landscapes of Zarakiniko with our stand-up paddleboards. The water around this part of the island is crystal clear and the sandstone cliff coast has been shaped by the winds into all kinds of spectacular shapes attracting tourists, charterboats, and photographers from all around the words.

On our journey sailing the Greek islands we did not want to miss the amazing island of Milos and we were not disappointed by the many things this gem of the Cyclades has to offer.

We are Enrique (Kiki) from Cuba and Sarah (Salsa) from Germany, a sailing couple. We are living on a boat, our tiny house, creating a travel vlog as we sail around the world. We have almost zero sailing experience, but are determined to circumnavigate & share our adventures with you.

We are by no means film makers or video editors so please let us know what you think about our videos, what you like to see more of – or less 😉

Sailing life can be a real challenge and a bit scary at times (especially when your home dangles from an iron thread just 10 mm thick). What is to come? We don’t know but day by day we are learning how to live more sustainable, living off grid, more connected to nature, so we can share our adventures with you. Come storm or good weather.
