Greece is blessed with one of the most beautiful seas in the world — the Aegean Sea. One of the must activities to include in your holiday itinerary on Mykonos is a day trip to Delos and Rhenia islands with Mykonos on Board. We joined Artemis and Leonidas on a memorable sailing trip and enjoyed a day of fun, sunshine and fantastic Greek hospitality.

The most famous island group in the Aegean Sea comprises some of the most beautiful islands in the world! Gorgeous sandy beaches, architecture in white and blue, traditional lifestyle, folk music, warm, hospitable people and barren landscapes with isolated chapels turn a trip to the Cyclades into a lifetime experience.

Greece’s Central Archaeological Council on Sunday gave the go-ahead to a project to help restore some of the most important monuments on the island of Delos, using a grant donated by the Paul and Alexandra Canellopoulos Foundation.

The mention of Greece brings up images of white arcing beaches and sparkling aqua waters under sun-drenched skies.
