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.
