All inclusive Delos & Rhenia Islands tour up to 12 pax (free transportation)

A sailing day that combines history, scenery, and leisure

When you picture a day in Greece, you might see turquoise waters, ancient ruins, and a gentle breeze. This all-inclusive Delos & Rhenia Islands tour offers just that. Starting from Tourlos Bay, you’ll spend about six hours exploring two islands off the coast of Mykonos, with a maximum group size of 12 guests—making it intimate and relaxed rather than crowded and hectic.

What we love most about this experience is how it balances cultural discovery with leisure. The highlight for many is the chance to walk around Delos, a UNESCO World Heritage site steeped in myth and history—think temples and ruins in the same spot where the myth says Apollo and Artemis were born. Plus, the opportunity to snorkel in Rhenia’s clear waters is a genuine treat, especially with provided gear, so you can enjoy some refreshing dips in unspoiled surroundings.

A small possible drawback is the dependence on weather, which can affect sailing and snorkeling. If it’s windy or rainy, the experience might be less comfortable or even canceled, but the tour’s flexible policy offers full refunds or rescheduling.

This trip suits travelers who love a mix of history, scenic sailing, and good food without the hassle of large crowds. It’s especially recommended if you appreciate knowledgeable guides, authentic Greek cuisine, and the chance to enjoy the water away from Mykonos’ busy beaches.

An in-depth look at the experience

This tour offers an excellent blend of adventure, history, and relaxation—a winning combo for many travelers. Starting from Tourlos Bay, you’ll be picked up in a complimentary shuttle, which takes the hassle out of getting to the boat. This small group, capped at 12 people, ensures you won’t feel lost in the crowd, which many reviews highlight as a major plus.

The ride from Tourlos to Delos takes about an hour, giving you a chance to enjoy the sea breeze and stunning views of Mykonos’ coastline.

Visiting Delos

Disembarking on Delos allows for a self-paced exploration of one of Greece’s top archaeological sites. This UNESCO site features extensive ruins, temples, and sculptures that breathe life into ancient mythology. The reviews repeatedly mention how “amazing” and “fascinating” Delos is, with one traveler describing it as “history itself.”

Guides help provide context, but many travelers enjoy wandering independently, soaking in the ruins’ atmosphere. Since Delos is an active archaeological site, there’s no entrance fee included, but that’s a small price to pay for access to such a storied place.

Cruising to Rhenia

Next, the boat sails to Rhenia, an uninhabited island famous for its pristine waters. Here, the highlight is snorkeling—gear is provided, making it accessible even for beginners. Reviewers describe the water as “crystal clear,” perfect for a quick swim or just floating with the provided equipment. The water’s clarity and peaceful environment make Rhenia a favorite for relaxing and cooling off.

The boat anchors at a calm spot where you can swim, snorkel, or simply lounge on deck. The opportunity to combine water activities with good food makes this stop particularly appealing.

Lunch on board

The Mediterranean buffet lunch is frequently praised—many reviews highlight the “delicious” Greek dishes served, along with unlimited wine, beer, and soft drinks. Ernesto, often mentioned as the cook, apparently serves up a memorable meal that complements the day’s relaxing pace. The onboard Wi-Fi and music add to the celebratory, vacation vibe.

Return journey

After a couple of hours at Rhenia, the boat heads back to Tourlos, with the return trip taking around an hour. The tour concludes with the complimentary shuttle transfers, which can drop you off at your hotel or another chosen spot, making the end of the day effortless.

The boat and crew are described as “professional” and “friendly,” creating a friendly, almost family-like atmosphere.

Snorkeling gets mixed reviews—while many rave about the crystal waters, some mention that equipment could be improved or that conditions weren’t ideal. However, most agree that the water’s beauty more than makes up for minor inconveniences.

The value for money is consistently rated as high, especially given the inclusiveness of lunch, drinks, and transportation, contrasting favorably with larger, more commercial tours.
