The bow nudges away from Tourlos harbor as the town of Mykonos slips astern, white houses shrinking into a sunlit sketch. Salt wind pushes the boat toward a low, stony island where beaches flare pale against deep blue—the island of Rhenia. On a private six-hour cruise the Aegean pulls you between coves, and the skipper reads currents and wind with a practiced calm; the sea dares you to dive in.

The bow nudges away from Tourlos harbor as the town of Mykonos slips astern, white houses shrinking into a sunlit sketch. Salt wind pushes the boat toward a low, stony island where beaches flare pale against deep blue—the island of Rhenia. On a private six-hour cruise the Aegean pulls you between coves, and the skipper reads currents and wind with a practiced calm; the sea dares you to dive in.
Rhenia lies beside the sacred isle of Delos; both are fragments of Cycladic geology shaped by uplifted limestone and pumiced volcanic sediments. Delos was a religious and trading hub in antiquity, and Rhenia was its maritime neighbor—quiet now, with scattered ruins and stretches of sand and pebble. Mykonos’ seafaring culture is visible in every creak of timber and casual handshake at the tavern meeting point. Expect shallow reefs near coves, sandy shelves for swimming, and occasional wind that turns a placid bay into a lively playground.
Practically: meet at Matthew Tavern at Mykonos New Port at 09:00 for a full 6-hour private charter. Snorkeling gear and a SUP are provided; lunch and beer/wine come onboard. The route can shift if weather picks up—crew decisions prioritize safety. Bring reef-friendly sunscreen, sturdy sandals, and a wind layer for the return. If you’re prone to seasickness, take precautions before boarding. The excursion suits most fitness levels but involves boarding from the pier and hopping onto a tender or the dinghy in some spots. Morning departures avoid the hottest sun and often offer the calmest seas, while late spring through early fall provides the most reliable sailing conditions.

Rhenia sits adjacent to Delos, an important religious and commercial center in ancient Greece; the islands hold scattered ruins and maritime lore tied to Cycladic trade routes.
The Cyclades rely on tourism and clear waters; visitors are asked to avoid anchoring on seagrass beds and use reef-safe products to protect marine habitats.
Set Sail Mykonos operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
