a trip back in time to Ancient Greece!
Join us on this sailing adventure holiday in the Cyclades.
Travel to Delos with “Lafri” Sailing boat, slow down for a few days and let yourself go with the wind on a three-day sailing trip starting from Andros.
With our main destination being the holy island, the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, and depending on the weather we will visit the islands of Tinos and Syros, while at the same time we will have time to dive not only in the deep blue waters of Rhinia but also where you may rarely swim…
Delos, an ark of history for the Greek Ancient culture, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the island that “christened” the Cyclades as an island cluster that grows in a circle around it, is located just a few miles away from Andros.
It is an opportunity for a unique tour in the most ideal way by sailing.
During our trip and depending always on the weather we will have the opportunity to explore the coastline of Tinos, taste the local cuisine, and visit and explore the elegant capital of the Cyclades, Syros.

Day 1: ANDROS – TINOS
Meeting in the evening with your group leader at the marina of Batsi to meet the skipper, and the boat, and to be informed about issues to keep in mind during your trip. We sail to Tinos
We anchor in Tinos where the weather permits and we take care of our dinner accordingly. If this is the port of Tinos, we will visit Chora, and wander through its alleys before dinner.
Overnight on the boat, anchored in Tinos
Day 2: Delos – Rhneia-Syros
In the morning we set sail for Delos.
The tour of the entire archaeological site, i.e. almost the entire island, is truly a unique and imposing experience. The estimated duration of the visit is about 3.5 hours including the short climb to the top of Kynthos (112m) which is undoubtedly worth it, as the view of the island, but also of the Aegean and the surrounding Cycladic islands, is captivating!!!
After visiting Delos, and just a few minutes away, we will cool off in the deep blue waters of Rineia. The beaches of Reneia are characteristic because of the crystal clear water and their pale blue colour.
Light lunch on board and later in the afternoon and depending on the weather we head either towards Syros or Tinos.
If this is Syros, we will have time to see Ermoupoli, which no one can get enough of walking around! Marble paved streets, imposing neoclassical buildings, the Town Hall in the central square a work of Chiller, the Apollo Theatre, the Hellas Club, and much more.
Free dinner in Ermoupolis.
Overnight on the boat, anchored in Syros.
