Mykonos and Delos Day Trip
Description
Embark on an enriching day trip from Naxos to explore Mykonos and Delos, two remarkable islands in the Cyclades. This adventure promises to be a memorable experience in the enchanting Aegean Sea!
Day Trip Overview
Your journey begins at the Small Port of Naxos, where we will board our vessel for a scenic trip to Delos. The crossing takes about 2 hours, leading us to the iconic birthplace of the deities Apollo and Artemis, according to Greek lore.
Upon arrival, you'll enjoy 3 hours to explore Delos at your leisure. A highlight is the ruins of the Temple of Apollo, which also features the renowned Terrace of the Lions, whose original marble remains can be viewed in the Delos Museum.
As you explore, don’t miss the ancient theatre, the House of Dionysus, the House of the Comedians, and the remnants of sanctuaries devoted to the Sun God. Additionally, consider hiking up Mount Cynthus for breathtaking panoramic views of the island.
Next, we will return to the boat for a short sail to the vibrant island of Mykonos. Known as one of Greece’s sought-after destinations, you will have 3.5 hours to enjoy at your own pace.
Start your exploration at the old harbour and venture into the town's intricate streets, adorned with whitewashed buildings, azure shutters, and flourishing bougainvillea.
In the Matogiannia area, indulge in a stroll through upscale boutiques, art galleries, and jewellery stores. For a deeper cultural experience, the Mykonos Archaeological Museum offers fascinating exhibits that delve into the history of the Cyclades, all within a visually striking setting.
If relaxation is what you seek, head to nearby beaches with golden sands and inviting turquoise waters, such as Platis Gialos or Psarou. For those looking to revel in the local nightlife, numerous beach bars await, delivering lively atmospheres and music.
Don’t forget to visit Little Venice, a picturesque district of Mykonos where the charming houses face the sea, perfect for capturing unforgettable moments.
As the day draws to a close, we will commence our journey back to Naxos, returning to the starting point roughly 10 hours later.
