Meet & Greet! Shuttle service & Embarkation
Whether you are staying in Mykonos, the neighbouring Tinos or arriving by cruise ship, this sailing yacht cruise is the definitive way to experience the Aegean. In a single day, you will explore the islands of Delos and Rhenia —two of Greece's most sacred and historic sites— making it the undisputed highlight of any vacation itinerary. You’ll be picked up by complimentary shuttle transport to the embarkation point. A cruise representative will welcome you and provide an overview of the itinerary, followed by important safety information on board. At 03:00pm we lift the anchors and set the sails for 1 hour approximately to reach the uninhabited islet of Rhenia, known also as “Big Delos”. Rhenia is accessible only via yacht, making it a small, secluded paradise compared to the crowded beaches of Mykonos.
Swim & Earli Dinner in Rhenia Island
After approximately 1 hour sailing, we reach Rhenia, which is accessible only via yacht, making it a small secluded paradise compared to the crowded beaches of Mykonos. 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. On board early-dinner is ready. It is either a specially made Italian pasta with Greek flavored dressing instantly cooked on board & Greek salad or a Mediterranean style buffet and juicy seasonal fruits. A selection of complimentary house wine, beers and soft drinks are also offered.
3D Virtual Self-Guided Tour of Delos Archaeological site
After spending approximately 2 hours in the untouched islet of Rhenia, the next stop is the UNESCO-listed Island of Delos, one of the most important and sacred archaeological sites in Greek history. Immerse yourself on a self-guided Virtual Tour with the 3D Web App in your own device, crafted by archaeologists and available in 9 audio languages (English, French, Spanish, German, Greek, Italian, Polish, Russian, Portuguese).
Delos island was a major commercial and religious center of the Mediterranean with about 30.000 inhabitants between 2.500 and 69 BC. At disposal about 1 hour to explore leisurely - with the 3D Web App at your preferred language - the main remarkable monuments and impressive mosaics of Delos as they were in antiquity, such as the Terrace of the Lions, the House of Dionysus and Trident, the Ancient Theatre and the Sanctuary of Apollo.
Mykonos in Sunset hues!
We set sail back to Mykonos at 7:00 pm, taking in a stunning sunset of yellow, orange, and red over the deep blue Aegean Sea. We say farewell the Greek way—with a toast of a traditional shot, sending you home full of joy after sharing with you a piece of Greece, where sailing is truly the best way to experience it.

Note about Passports:
• All passengers must provide their valid passport details (full name, passport number, nationality and date of birth) upon reservation as requested by Mykonos Port Authorities. If not received the booking will not be considered confirmed and passengers will not be allowed to embark.
• All passengers are required to present a valid passport or ID card (original, copy or image) upon embarkation.
Special Notes:
Good to know:
Mykonos, known as the “Island of Winds,” is shaped by the summer Meltemi wind—formed when cool air from the Balkans meets hot African air. Wind is a natural part of life here and adds charm to your holiday experience.
Swimming stops are always chosen based on the most sheltered, less windy beaches. Sailing depends on wind conditions—when possible, sails are used as the main power. If winds are too weak or unfavorable, the route will be motorized.

Pick-up and drop-off shuttle service is included on all regular sailing programs and is either from/to the hotel or a designated meeting point depending on the location of your accommodation.
