You step onto the catamaran at Agios Ioannis, sea-salt on the breeze and the captain calling a quick safety brief as the hull slips into sapphire water. The Aegean pulls you away from Mykonos’ white-washed roofs, the wind pushing the sails and the rhythm of the boat setting the day's pace.

You step onto the catamaran at Agios Ioannis, sea-salt on the breeze and the captain calling a quick safety brief as the hull slips into sapphire water. The Aegean pulls you away from Mykonos’ white-washed roofs, the wind pushing the sails and the rhythm of the boat setting the day's pace.
From the water the profile of Delos reads like a page of history: low limestone ridges, ancient terraces, and the island that the Greeks long held sacred as Apollo and Artemis’ birthplace. Geologically the Cyclades are folded schist and marble, exposed by millennia of sea and wind; Delos’ unfinished quarries and scattered ruins tell that story. Rhenia, by contrast, is all sand, low scrub and clear shallows—an island shaped by waves rather than stone where the sea dares you to dive in.
Culturally, the route traces layers of Aegean life: prehistoric settlements, Hellenistic sanctuaries and modern island fishing communities. The crew serves a simple Mediterranean BBQ and local wine—food that reflects the sea and island harvests.
Practical guidance: meet 15 minutes early at Agios Ioannis Dock; expect 5 hours aboard with swim stops and snorkeling (equipment provided). Watch the weather—summer meltemi winds can change route to sheltered southern bays. Bring reef‑safe sunscreen, a hat, and a light wind layer for the return. If you suffer from seasickness, plan accordingly; the group size (max 10) keeps the boat stable and service personal. This trip is an accessible, scenic way to feel the Cyclades beneath your feet and the Aegean urging you onward.
No—this itinerary views Delos from the sea and the captain provides historical commentary; archaeological access to Delos requires a separate visit and permits.
Yes; masks and snorkels are provided, though you may prefer to bring your own for fit and comfort.
A Mediterranean BBQ (including chicken skewers), local wine, beer and soft drinks are included as described in the itinerary.
The catamaran is stable and group size is small, but if you are prone to seasickness take preventative medication or wristbands before boarding and choose a central seat on deck.
