Where to sail in Mykonos?

It may be known for its thrilling nightlife, but there is so much more to this sun-kissed island than one could imagine. If you spend time exploring Mykonos, you will discover a completely different side to this beautiful island.

• Wander through the labyrinth-like streets of Mykonos Town. Here, you can admire the white-washed architecture, the stunning churches, windmills and lose yourself in one of the many cute boutiques. Over the past years, a plethora of art galleries have also emerged in town and are entirely worth the visit.
• Sail to Delos to see the exquisite ruins. The island is home to one of Greece’s biggest archaeological sites and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
• Take a dip in the crystal-clear waters of Lia Beach. Located in the east of Mykonos, this secluded beach is easy to access with your yacht rental and will make you feel as if you’ve arrived in the Caribbean. The sheltered bay is also one of the best on the island for scuba diving and snorkelling.
• If you fancy exploring Mykonos’ eclectic nightlife, we highly recommend sailing to Paradise Beach. The island earned its iconic reputation thanks to this beach and by spending an evening here, you will understand why.
• Sail to one of the other many Greek islands. Mykonos is located at the centre of the Cyclades, one of Greece’s most beautiful archipelagos, and serves as a fantastic base for island hopping. Whether you fancy strolling through the picturesque village of Oia in Santorini, taking a dip on a pristine beach in Paros or visiting one of the many monasteries in Naxos, your boat hire in Mykonos will guarantee you endless possibilities.
