Are you ready for a Yacht Cruise to Rhenia Island and Guided Tour of Delos?
Join us on a 7-hour yacht cruise and discover the natural insular archaeological site of Delos with a licensed guide. You’ll also have the opportunity to enjoy swimming and snorkeling in a secluded cove off the uninhabited island of Rhenia. This is a perfect combination of leisure and history, and sailing is the ideal way to experience Mykonos, also known as the “Island of Winds.”
The tour includes pick-up and drop-off shuttle transportation, so you don’t have to worry about anything. You’ll be able to swim and snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of Rhenia Island. You’ll also get to savor a delicious lunch of Greek flavors cooked on board with fresh ingredients and juicy local fruits. To quench your thirst, you’ll be offered complimentary house wine and soft drinks.
Our friendly and attentive crew will make you feel right at home, and you’ll be able to stay connected with free use of Wi-Fi on board. This is a fantastic opportunity to experience Greece’s rich history and natural beauty in a fun and relaxing way.
You will be picked up by our complimentary shuttle transportation to reach the embarkation point. One of our cruise representatives will greet you and give you an overview of the cruise itinerary.
Once an overview of the sailing yacht and important safety information are introduced by the crew, at 09:30am we set sail heading to Rhenia & Delos islands, the center of the Cyclades and located few miles south-west of Mykonos. As we sail, gaze out at the beautiful scenery and the remarkable crystal blue water of the Aegean Sea, chilling out to the tunes of your choice and relaxing as you sunbathe on deck.
After approximately 1 hour sailing, we will arrive at the untouched island of Rhenia, separated from the sacred island of Delos by just a small strait. Dropped anchor in the idyllic bay surrounded by crystal clear turquoise waters and with gold sandy beach, indulge yourself in the refreshing sea for swimming and snorkeling by the yacht swimming ladder (pier facilities or tendering ashore are not available). Lunch on board is ready. It is either a specially made Italian pasta with Greek flavored dressing instantly cooked on board and Greek salad or a local Mediterranean style buffet and juicy seasonal fruits. A selection of complimentary house wine and soft drinks are also offered.
After approximately 2 hours spent in the untouched islet of Rhenia, the next stop is Delos Island, one of the most important archaeological sites of Greek history for our Licensed Guided Tour. We spend about 1½ hour with our professional English-speaking guide and about 30 minutes free time exploring the UNESCO-listed Island of Delos, visiting the museum, walking up Mount Kynthos (367 feet high) and admiring the staggering array of ancient ruins. According to mythology, Delos is the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, and the sanctuary to both gods serves as the center of a large Hellenistic city of about 30.000 inhabitants.
We are ready at 03:30 pm to sail back to Mykonos. Arrival is scheduled by 04:30 pm and our complimentary shuttle transportation will be waiting for you. We will say goodbye in the Greek way with a farewell shot drink toast and returning home full of euphoria for having shared with you our Greece, whose destiny is bound to the sea and sailing is the best way to experience it.
