About

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. You will have approximately one hour to explore the grounds of this significant cult center of Ancient Greece.

Back on the boat, we will treat you to a traditional Mykonian lunch while you enjoy a drink of your choice, before sailing to the island of Rhenia. Rhenia is four times the size of its sacred sister Delos, and they are separated by a small channel. Rhenia is uninhabited and has four solitary sandy beaches (Glyfada, Stena, Lia and Ambelia) which rest in protected coves. Rhenia is a popular meeting point for yachts cruising the area due to its spectacular waters, which range in colour from a 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 see underwater life up close (snorkelling does not require special training or equipment). You can also simply lay on the beach surrounded by raw nature and for the more adventurous, you may explore the island on foot. The expected arrival time back to Tourlos Marina is approximately 15:00.
