What To Expect
Your sailing cruise experience starts when you meet us directly at the sailing yacht (Note: Pick-up and drop-off shuttle service is optional and please contact the cruise operator after booking, if required). After about one hour of sailing, drop anchor in an unspoiled bay at the island of Rhenia for a swimming and snorkeling break off a golden sand beach. 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. When you've had your fill of the water, enjoy a delicious lunch right on board featuring either Italian pasta with Greek flavored dressing and Greek Salad or a local Mediterranean style buffet and fresh local fruits, and a selection of complimentary house wine, beers and soft drinks.
Archaeological Site of Delos
After about two hours in Rhenia Island, go ashore at Delos, the birthplace of the Apollo according to Greek mythology, for a guided tour of the UNESCO-listed ruins of an ancient Greek trading and pilgrimage city (admission own expense). Explore the remnants of temples and marketplaces, see sacred artifacts in the museum, and hike up Mt. Kythnos for spectacular views of the island and surrounding sea. Climb back aboard the yacht in the afternoon and start the return voyage to Mykonos, where the day tour concludes by saying goodbye—in Greek style—with a farewell shot drink toast.

Perfect Boat Tour with History, Swimming, and Food

5.00Friendly staff, great experience, delicious food on board. Relaxed and fun. There were a dozen of us on board and we were all American. Swimming was refreshing. The tour of Delos was underwhelming but it was greatly appreciated that we could go off on our own. Spiros and the Captain were a great team on board!
Steps from the Port!

5.00This was one of our favorite excursions from our cruise. The 0830 meeting point was at the marina a short walk from the cruise dock. Our small 12 person group arrived at Delos Island before the larger tour groups and enjoyed the guided tour. Then we sailed to Rhenia to drop anchor near the shore. There were other tour boats parked nearby. A few brave people swam in the cold May sea, while the rest of us relaxed on the deck in the sun. The meal was delicious and drinks generous. Highly recommend!
Best part of my vacation!

5.00100% worth it and would absolutely do again. If you want an intimate small group tour this is the one for you. Connection with the other travelers was really simple and easy. The leaders of the tour were very knowledgeable and experienced in what they were doing. if you come to Mykonos, you absolutely have to do this.
Great way to sail the...

5.00Great way to sail the Aegean Sea and explore Delos with a guide. It was a nice small group of nine people which is a more intimate experience. We spent approximately 90 minutes on Delos and were the first tour group there by one hour. After we sailed over to Rehina and dropped anchor to swim and have lunch. Lunch & beverages. Crew was professional and attentive to visitors.
Sailing day + visiting ancient ruins! what else can you ask for??

5.00We had a great experience with our sailing crew (Chris Stailos & Spiros) and our Dilos tour guide (Anastasia). We first started with the guided tour ar Dilos, where Anastasia explained is everything about the island, answered our questions and encouraged participation from the group. Then we headed to Rineia where we did snorkeling (gear provided by the crew) and had fun in the water. After lunch we headed back to the port. Throughout the whole trip the bar was open for you to enjoy wine, beer or soft drinks. Another thing to highlight is that the ride is super smooth, so nobody got sick or anything like that. My wife and I had a great time. We totally recommend this experience.
So fun!!

Amazing Experience!

5.00This was easily one of the best parts of our entire trip to Greece! The whole Sunfos Alessia Yachting team was super friendly, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone had an amazing time! The boat itself is a very nice and well maintained sailboat. We saw dolphins almost immediately after leaving port, we had a great tour of Delos, lunch was simple, but delicious (and wine was provided), we got to swim in beautiful water, and we got to sail (we had to motor out to Delos due to lack of wind that day, but on the way back after swimming the wind had picked up, so the motor was turned off and we got the true sailing experience the whole way back - and yes, they will let you steer if you ask)! Did I mention everyone was super nice and that seeing Greece from a boat is definitely a worthwhile experience you won't regret?
Great tour

5.00Amazing. The island of Delos is such a cool ancient site and it’s crazy to believe that it was such a developed and important part of the region. So much to see and learn. My guide was also amazing
Sailing Bliss in Mykonos

5.00The cruise was easily the highlight of our trip. We had just enough time to wander around Delos, take a lot of photos and learn so many fascinating historical insights from our guide without feeling rushed. Even though it was late October, the day was gorgeous and the water around Rhenia was clear and surprisingly warm. Lunch on board was delicious and the crew checked on us often to make sure everyone felt comfortable and happy. The sailing itself was truly impressive. The captain and his mate made it look like the easiest job in the world even though we all know it definitely isn’t! I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone who wants to spend an unforgettable, well-spent day in Mykonos.
