Itinerary

The tour begins at Mykonos port where guests board the sailing yacht and meet the crew for a safety briefing before departure. The vessel sails toward Rhenia Island, where the first stop allows time for swimming and snorkeling in sheltered turquoise waters.

After the swimming stop, lunch is prepared and served onboard while cruising toward Delos. Upon arrival, guests disembark for a guided walking tour of the archaeological site, visiting key ruins such as ancient temples, residential areas, and sacred monuments connected to Apollo and Artemis.

Following the guided visit, guests reboard the yacht for the return journey to Mykonos, enjoying views of the Aegean Sea and surrounding islands along the way.

Who is this experience best for

This experience is best suited for travelers who want a combination of cultural exploration and relaxed sailing in a single day. It appeals to visitors who enjoy history but also want swimming, open-water cruising, and a social onboard atmosphere. It is particularly suitable for couples, groups, and first-time visitors to Mykonos who want a full-day island experience.

Insider notes

The sea conditions between Mykonos, Rhenia, and Delos can be affected by strong Meltemi winds, which may influence swimming stops or sailing routes. Delos is highly exposed with minimal shade, so sun protection and water are essential. The schedule is structured and time-limited at each stop, so the experience is best viewed as a curated overview rather than an in-depth archaeological exploration. Weather conditions can also affect the order of stops or time spent at each location.
