Itinerary
Your sailing cruise experience starts when you meet us directly at the sailing yacht (Note: Pick-up and drop-off shuttle service is optional and please contact the cruise operator after booking, if required). After about one hour of sailing, drop anchor in an unspoiled bay at the island of Rhenia for a swimming and snorkeling break off a golden sand beach. The refreshing turquoise salty waters are inviting you for a relaxing swim entering the clear sea by the yacht swimming ladder (pier facilities or tendering ashore are not available). Snorkeling gear is available on board for free use at your convenience. When you've had your fill of the water, enjoy a delicious lunch right on board featuring either Italian pasta with Greek flavored dressing and Greek Salad or a local Mediterranean style buffet and fresh local fruits, and a selection of complimentary house wine, beers and soft drinks.
After about two hours in Rhenia Island, go ashore at Delos, the birthplace of the Apollo according to Greek mythology, for a guided tour of the UNESCO-listed ruins of an ancient Greek trading and pilgrimage city (admission own expense). Explore the remnants of temples and marketplaces, see sacred artifacts in the museum, and hike up Mt. Kythnos for spectacular views of the island and surrounding sea. Climb back aboard the yacht in the afternoon and start the return voyage to Mykonos, where the day tour concludes by saying goodbye—in Greek style—with a farewell shot drink toast.

It was so nice, well structured, just missed more time in Delos to explore all the sight. Cris, Marios the captain are great! Specially cris that talked a lot to us, gave clear instructions and were so kind all the time!
We absolutely loved this tour. Pro tip, bring a few cat treats for the kitties on the island. You will be famous!
It was not as good as it was hyped up to be it's not exactly a sailing tour. A Delos it was too hot to do the tour so half stayed back and tried to stay cool for an hr. Then just moored over to Rhenia to play in water. Not what I expected. Crew were nice.
Crew of the boat was amazing. I would say that having 13 people on the boat was way too many for the size of the boat. The guide for Delos was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable of the area. Lunch was ok. No protein in the pasta. Be prepared for super rough water in the open water area. Because of the number of people and size of boat, not enough places to sit. Max number of people they should allow on the trip should be 8 so that everyone has a place to sit in the boat. People were forced to size in the front of the boat and unprotected from the wind and waves. Also don’t like it when trips don’t pick you up from hotel. For 150 euros per person i would expect a shuttle to and from the marina
Nice excursion to Delos. A must if you are in the area. Then we anchored at another beach to take a dip and eat.
We had a great time with Nick and the team heading to Delos and touring the island. It was a beautiful boat and Nick was a great tour guide once we were on the island! Unfortunately, our boat had motor issues so when we went to get back on board, we had to hang on Delos for a bit longer until a backup boat was able to come and pick us up. We could tell the driver (who was great but name's escaping me), skipper and Nick were all stressed but handled it quite calmly. We were then able to get on the backup boat that took us to a beautiful location to swim and eat lunch. The delay was inconvenient but did not ruin the day, and was handled just about as smoothly as it could have been given the circumstances!
Combo cruise to Rhenia and tour of Delos was amazing. Our tour guide of Delos was terrific, very knowledgeable and authentic. Boat Captain and first mate were also very nice and accommodating. Delicious lunch and drinks on boat. Would 100% book this again. We all had a great time.
We had an amazing day sailing to Delos and Rhenia and exploring the amazing ruins. Our captain, Stelios was a true professional, who knew exactly how to handle the sailboat. We felt safe the entire time. His skipper Spiro made the most amazing lunch and was so attentive to all of our needs. Our guide on Delos, Alexis, was so knowledgeable and made the ruins extra special for us. We highly recommend booking this excursion.
This is an excellent tour! We have traveled to Mykonos before and toured the mainland. This tour was excellent to see Delos and then to swim and relax. What I loved is you get history and fun in the sun. The tour is excellent for anyone staying on the island and cruise passengers as the meeting point is a five minute walk from the ship. The boat ride was beautiful and fun about 50 minutes to Delos. We explored Delos for an 1.5 hours. Then set sail and anchored so we can swim, snorkel, and simply relax. The lunch we got and drinks was wonderful and plenty! The crew was knowledgeable and fun. I liked have less than 12 people so it was a small and more private tour. The price was excellent as well!
Delos was very interesting, and our tour guide was very knowledgeable. The lunch was delicious and we all enjoyed the swimming/snorkeling experience off of Rhenia. The only downside was how choppy the ride back was.
