You’ll sail from Mykonos with hotel pickup included, relax on a spacious new catamaran, swim or paddleboard near Rhenia or along the southern coast (weather decides), then share a freshly cooked Greek lunch with local wine as you pass ancient Delos. Expect laughter, salt air, and that feeling of wanting to stay just a little longer.
The first thing I noticed was the way the sea looked—almost too blue to be real. We met our driver in Mykonos town (he texted us the night before with all the details, which felt reassuring), and by the time we reached the marina, that salt-in-the-air feeling had already started to work its magic. The catamaran itself was spotless and honestly bigger than I expected. Our guide, Katerina, handed out cold water right away and grinned when she saw my sunhat nearly blow off in the wind. “That’s how you know it’s a good sailing day,” she said.
We set out toward Rhenia island—though Katerina explained sometimes they go south if the wind’s too wild. She kept pointing out little things: white chapels on rocky hillsides, a fisherman waving from his tiny boat (he yelled something in Greek; she just laughed). When we finally anchored, I jumped straight into the water. It was colder than I thought but so clear you could see every ripple of sand below. My partner tried stand-up paddleboarding for maybe two minutes before giving up and flopping onto one of those huge sunbeds at the front. The chef started prepping lunch right there—garlic drifting through the air—and somehow it made me hungrier than swimming ever did.
I still think about that meal: fresh fish, warm bread, tomatoes that actually taste like tomatoes (not like back home). We all sat together at this big table—some folks from Athens shared their wine with us and told stories about summers on these islands as kids. I tried to say “cheers” in Greek (“Yamas!”) but probably butchered it; everyone just laughed anyway. After lunch we drifted past Delos—no stop there but you could see those ancient columns in the distance, half-lost in haze.
On the way back I lay flat on one of those soft cushions and let myself get a little sunburnt (should’ve reapplied sunscreen). There was music playing low somewhere behind me and for a minute everything felt very far away from real life—just sky and sea and that slow rocking motion. Even now if I close my eyes I can almost hear it.
Your day includes hotel pickup and return (if arranged ahead), smooth sailing on a modern catamaran with WiFi onboard, stops for swimming or snorkeling near Rhenia or Mykonos’ south coast depending on weather, use of kayaks and SUPs when possible, bottled water, soft drinks plus wine and beer with your freshly cooked three-course lunch prepared by an onboard chef—all wrapped up before heading back to shore in the afternoon.
