TOURLOS GUIDED TOUR FIELD GUIDE

A guided, 6‑hour private catamaran cruise that pairs a guided visit to ancient Delos with swimming, snorkeling and beach time on uninhabited Rhenia.
Sailing Between Two Sacred Islands: A Six‑Hour Catamaran to Delos and Rhenia from Tourlos.
From the sheltered slips of Tourlos, the day unfolds on a private sailing yacht across the Aegean: a morning approach to Big Delos for a guided archaeological visit, followed by an afternoon anchored in one of Rhenia’s secluded coves for swimming, snorkeling and beach time — all within a six‑hour circumnavigation of blue water and wind.

Outing Highlights
Guided visit to Delos — birthplace of Apollo and Artemis
The cruise includes a stop at Big Delos with an English‑speaking guide and entrance to the archaeological site, letting you walk through layered antiquity on a single morning stop.
Swim and snorkel in crystal Aegean bays
After Delos the yacht anchors off Rhenia’s sheltered beaches for easy shore access, snorkeling with provided equipment, and optional SUP when conditions allow.
Secluded Rhenia beaches and raw island solitude
Rhenia is uninhabited and ringed with quiet coves; the trip gives time to sunbathe on a white beach, explore a short island walk, or simply relax aboard with a light lunch and drinks.
What the day feels like
What the day feels like
The rhythm is sailing‑forward: a morning departure in the summer breeze, a shore visit steeped in history, then a languid afternoon anchored in emerald and turquoise water. Guests can help trim sails if they like, eat a light lunch on deck, and move between beach, snorkel and sun in a private small‑group setting.
