Ancient Delos & Rhenia Island Cruise from Mykonos

This 6.5-hour cruise departs Mykonos New Port and heads first to Rhenia, an uninhabited island with sandy coves and clear water suited to swimming and snorkeling. After time in the water, lunch is served on board with beverages included. The itinerary then continues to Delos, one of Greece's most significant archaeological sites and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Guests can choose to go ashore and tour the ruins and museum — highlights include the Terrace of the Lions, ancient temples, and mosaics — or stay on board and swim in the surrounding waters. The entrance fee is not included and paid separately on the day. Delos and Rhenia sit close together between Mykonos and the broader Cyclades, a pair sometimes called the "Cycladic Sisters." The waters around both islands are calm and relatively uncrowded compared to Mykonos beaches. The cruise operates with an English-speaking escort throughout. Departures can be affected by the strong winds Mykonos is known for. If conditions make sailing unsafe, the operator may alter or cancel the departure. Transfers to and from the port are not included in the ticket price but can be arranged for an additional fee.
