Sail from Mykonos to the archaeological island of Delos and the swimming coves of Rhenia on a private catamaran. Expect ruins, clear-water swims, snorkelling, and a relaxed six-hour day on the Aegean.
The cut of the catamaran parts the Aegean like a pen on a map: white hull, wind in the sails, the island silhouettes of Mykonos sliding astern. You step aboard in the harbor as fishermen finish their morning chores, and within half an hour the sea broadens, the light turns cobalt, and Delos appears as a low, rocky island crowned by ruins that have watched the Cyclades for millennia.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

The cut of the catamaran parts the Aegean like a pen on a map: white hull, wind in the sails, the island silhouettes of Mykonos sliding astern. You step aboard in the harbor as fishermen finish their morning chores, and within half an hour the sea broadens, the light turns cobalt, and Delos appears as a low, rocky island crowned by ruins that have watched the Cyclades for millennia.
Delos is one of Greece’s most important archaeological sites—revered in antiquity as the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis and quarried for marble by successive civilizations. Nearby Rhenia, a quieter sister isle, offers sheltered coves and clear bays where the sea encourages you to swim and snorkel. Geologically these isles are limestone outcrops shaped by wind and wave; on calm days you can pick out Posidonia seagrass beds below the surface and gulls that circle like punctuation marks.
Expect a balanced day: archaeological viewing, beach swims, and relaxed sailing. Local culture surfaces in small ways—skippers who navigate by weathered charts, lunches built around fresh salads and grilled fish, and the slow Greek cadence of midday rest.
Practicalities: the cruise runs about six hours, includes lunch, snorkel gear and drinks, and often offers SUP if conditions allow. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, stability-minded footwear for boarding, and a light wind layer. Seas can be choppy in Meltemi months; if you’re prone to motion sickness consider medication beforehand. Arrive 15 minutes early with a mobile ticket and be ready to trade an ordinary day for one where the sea keeps its own time.
The cruise lasts about six hours and typically includes lunch, snorkel equipment, drinks, a skipper and assistant, and fuel charges.
