The Delos and Mykonos cruise from Naxos is a popular day trip, offering visitors the chance to explore two of the most iconic islands in the Cyclades.
Delos: Known for its archaeological significance, Delos is an ancient sacred island and one of the most important historical sites in Greece. The island is car-free, and you can wander among ruins that date back to the 5th century BC. Key highlights include the Temple of Apollo, the Terrace of the Lions, and the ancient theater. The island's history as a religious and trade hub makes it an essential stop for history lovers.
Mykonos: After visiting Delos, the cruise typically takes you to Mykonos, famous for its vibrant nightlife, charming old town, and stunning beaches. You can explore the narrow streets of Mykonos Town (Chora), visit the iconic windmills, or relax by the beach. Mykonos offers a lively atmosphere with plenty of shops, cafes, and restaurants to enjoy.
The cruise generally departs in the morning from Naxos and gives you several hours to explore each island before returning in the afternoon. It’s an excellent way to see two very different sides of the Cyclades—ancient history on Delos and modern island life on Mykonos.
