2.Delos and Mykonos Full-Day Boat Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 450 reviews · 10 hours · from $82Best value

Sail from Naxos to sacred Delos for about three hours among Apollo’s ruins, then spend roughly three hours in Mykonos Town. This is mainly a ferry service, not a guided tour. Pay the €20 Delos entry fee on site, and arrange a guide at the island if you want expert context.

“Thoroughly enjoyed this day trip! The conditions were very rocky but the crew were professional and safe. Delos island was the best! So much history and an amazing place to walk around - 3 hours was maybe even just not enough time. Mykonos was cute and expensive with some nice beaches but definitely enjoyed the uniqueness of Delos more.”
