Spend a perfect day out on the sea combining a relaxing sailing cruise, swimming and sunbathing at the secluded and pristine beaches of the uninhabited island of Rhenia with a visit to Delos island – one of the most important archaeological sites of Greek history and a UNESCO world heritage landmark. Explore the history of the Aegean, a sea full of myths and legends. Enjoy the essence of Greek life and feel the sailing spirit.

Your cruise will start from Mykonos New Port at 09:00/ 10:30 am. We set sail for the ancient site of Delos Island which is 1 hour away. If you feel adventurous you are welcome to hold the ropes and lend a helping hand with navigating and steering or simply stretch out on deck and enjoy the sun and the views. We will spend 1,5 hours in the tranquil waters of Delos on the 9AM cruise. For those participating on the 10:30 cruise, the stop in Delos Island will be shorter. Whoever wishes can visit the archeological site and museum.
Otherwise, you can relax on the boat with a cool drink, enjoy the sun and swim in the clear blue sea. Back on board, we sail across a narrow strait to the unspoiled island of Rhenia. Rhenia’s idyllic bays, coves and pristine beaches are one of the Aegean’s great treasures. Here you will have time to swim or snorkel in the astounding and transparent waters and enjoy a delicious lunch on board featuring local specialties and chilled Greek wine. You will reach back Mykonos at 15:00/ 16:00 after a farewell drink.
