Sunset Sail to Rhenia Island and Mykonos Beach Safari

Your sailing cruise experience starts when you meet us directly at the sailing yacht where one of our cruise representative will greet you and give you an overview of the cruise itinerary along with important safety information (Note: Pick-up and drop-off shuttle service is optional and please contact the activity provider after booking, if required).

We lift the anchors and set the sails to Mykonos southern coastline where a slew of gorgeous beaches are located and protected from the “Meltemi”, north strong winds, where Mykonos takes the name from - the “Island of Winds”. 

Enjoy a beach safari where you can soak up the spectacular views passing the famous beaches of Ornos, Psarou, Platis Gialos, Paraga and Paradise. 

We set the sails for 1 hour approximately to reach the uninhabited islet of Rhenia, known also as “Big Delos “. Rhenia is accessible only via yacht, making it a small secluded paradise compared to the crowded beaches of Mykonos. 

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.

On board early-dinner is ready with a variety of traditional Greek flavours served with Mediterranean style buffet and a selection of complimentary wine, beers and soft drinks. 

After approximately 2 hours spent in the untouched islet of Rhenia, we sail back to Mykonos by watching the breathtaking landscape of yellow, orange and red colours while the sun goes down in the very blue Aegean Sea.

Good to know:

Mykonos is nicknamed “Island of Winds”. The Cyclades - the complex of islands where Mykonos belongs to - have been geographically shaped from the phenomenon of wind called “Meltemi”. Every summer the low barometric pressure from the Balkans clashes with the higher hot blasts from Africa and in this way the north wind of “Meltemi” is formed. Thus, the wind in Mykonos is completely normal and part of the lifestyle of both locals and visitors. It will ultimately leave its mark on your own Mykonos holiday album. According to the weather during the cruise, the selected beaches for swimming are the most protected ones and less windy. After all, this is also the experience of being on a sailing yacht, setting the sails to the wind needed as it is the primary engine power. Occasionally during the season there might not be enough wind or the convenient wind direction to set sails and only in such cases, the sailing route will be motorized.
