Embark on a sunset sailing cruise from Mykonos to the island's southern beaches, and Rhenia Island!
Mykonos is a Greek island in the Cyclades group in the Aegean Sea. It is known for its vibrant culture, picturesque towns, and beautiful beaches. On this boat tour from Mykonos, you'll discover its nearby gems!
The adventure begins at the embarkment point in Mykonos, where you will board the luxury sailing yacht and meet the experienced crew (pick-up from your accommodation is available at an additional charge upon request). After a quick safety and itinerary briefing, the skipper will set sail along Mykonos' southern coastline, home to a range of stunning beaches. These beaches are secluded and protected from the Meltemi wind that blows over the island.
As you sail, you'll pass the spectacular beaches of Ornos, Psarou, Platis Gialos, Paraga and Paradise Beach. After approximately 1 hour of sailing, you'll reach the uninhabited islet of Rhenia, also known as 'Big Delos.' The islet is only accessible by yacht, making it a small secluded paradise compared to the busier beaches of Mykonos. Rhenia boasts unspoiled beaches with crystal-clear waters, ideal for swimming and snorkelling. The refreshing turquoise salty waters will invite you for a relaxing swim entering the clear sea by the yacht swimming ladder (pier facilities or tendering ashore are not available). Snorkelling gear is available on board for free use at your convenience.
Then, a delicious Mediterranean-style buffet lunch consisting of traditional Greek flavours and a selection of complimentary wine, beers and soft drinks will be served on board. After approximately 2 hours spent in the untouched islet of Rhenia, you'll continue the sailing cruise in Mykonos by watching the breathtaking landscape of yellow, orange and red colours while the sun goes down in the very blue Aegean Sea. A farewell shot will be toasted to say goodbye after your memorable sailing cruise in Mykonos! Upon arrival back at the pier, you'll be transferred to your original pick-up point (if selected).
Don't miss this full-day sailing cruise from Mykonos to explore the southern side of the island and visit the iconic island of Rhenia!
