About

Indulge in this daily cruise, which lets you to bask in the warm Mykonian sun, enjoy the summer breeze, as you sail through the famous blue waters of Greece. What's more, you can assist in the sailing process, as the crew will be more than happy to get you involved with trimming the sails!

We setsail at 09:00am from Tourlos Marina. Our first stop is an hour away, the renowned Big Delos island. While there, you will have the opportunity to visit one of the most famous archaeological sites in Greek history : the birthplace of the Olympian God Apollo and the Olympian Goddess Artemis. An English- speaking tour guide will be available for a tour of the site and a journey through time. At the end of your guided visit, time permitting, you are free to walk around on your own.

Rhenia is four times the size of its sacred sister Delos, and they are separated by a small strait. Rhenia is uninhabited and has four solitary sandy beaches (Glyfada, Stena, Lia and Amelia) which rest in protected coves. Rhenia is a popular meeting point for yachts cruising the area due to its spectacular waters, which range in color from stunning emerald green to a beautiful turquoise blue.

Upon arrival, we will anchor in a secluded bay where you will enjoy the privacy of a white beach with no crowds. You will have plenty of time to swim in the crystal waters, put on a pair of goggles and flippers, and see underwater life up close. (Snorkeling does not require special training or equipment.) You can also simply lay on the beach surrounded by raw nature. The more adventurous of you may also explore the island on foot.
