Delos & Rhenia Day Cruise, Mykonos

Explore the historic ruins of Delos island and the pristine beaches of Rhenia island on this half-day cruise. Known as part of the "Cycladic Sisters," which consists of Mykonos, Delos, and Rhenia, these two islands sit just off Mykonos' southwestern coast. Both uninhabited, Delos is home to one of Greece's most important archaeological sites, and Rhenia has famed beaches and exceptionally clear waters.

After departing from Mykonos, you'll set sail for the untouched island of Rhenia, separated from the sacred island of Delos by just a small strait. Dropped anchor in the idyllic bay surrounded by crystal clear turquoise waters and with gold sandy beach, enjoy swimming and snorkeling. We will also enjoy our lunch on board.

After approximately 2 hours spent in the untouched islet of Rhenia, the next stop is Delos Island, one of the most important archaeological sites of Greek history for a Licensed Guided Tour. We spend about 1½ hour with our professional English-speaking guide and about 30 minutes free time exploring the UNESCO-listed Island of Delos, walking up Mount Kynthos (367 feet high) and admiring the staggering array of ancient ruins. According to mythology, Delos is the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, and the sanctuary to both gods serves as the center of a large Hellenistic city of about 30.000 inhabitants. Around 3:30 pm we will be ready to sail back to Mykonos.
