Mykonos · Delos · Rhenia · Mykonos

Day cruise

Mykonos · Delos · Rhenia · Mykonos

From Mykonos visit the nearby islands of Delos and Rhenia for a cruise combining history and one of the most beautiful locations to enjoy the sea and water sports.

The itinerary
  • Departure from Tourlos, Korfos or Ornos bay in Mykonos

After 20 minutes of cruising, first stop at the world known archaeological site of Delos. You can have a quick tour or stay onboard and the captain can tell you about this amazing place as you enjoy watching the site from the boat’s fly bridge.

A short distance away is Rhenia. This untouched island offers protected bays with amazing turquoise waters and “private” sandy beaches, ideal for swimming, snorkelling and water sports in general. This is Greece at its best! Snacks and beverages will be offered and many water sports are available.

For lunch, depending on the wind direction, we could cruise to Principote on the North side of the island of Mykonos (40 min) or the famous Nammos (20 min), Jackie O’ (25 min), Tassos tavern (22 min) or Spilia on the South side of Mykonos.

It’s not over yet… No better way to close the cruise than a stop at Little Venice to enjoy the sunset from the fly bridge. You will never forget this day!

One is through Cavo Doro which is closer but very prone to rough weather and the other is through Halkida which is mostly protected from the seasonal meltemi (Northern wind). Depending on the weather conditions at the time of the trip we will decide which option to follow.

Also, in case of strong meltemi, embarkation could take place from the port of Agia Marina which is relatively close to the airport, avoiding the South Evoikos passage which is prone to bigger waves. The rest of the trip is protected from the weather.

Nikita, September 2021
We booked this boat for a full day on our stay in Mykonos and it was excellent! Panagiotis was very knowledgeable about the good spots for us to cruise to and where the best crystal clear waters were. We also really loved the seabobs as well. There was a captain and 2 crew who really took great care of us the whole day. Also the boat was very clean and well taken care of compared to other boats I have charted in the past. I would definitely book this boat again.
