The best day trips from Mykonos
The classic day trip pairs the archaeological island of Delos with a swim stop at neighbouring Rhenia, whose empty beaches feel a world away from the town. Land-based island tours loop the windmills, Ano Mera monastery, panoramic viewpoints and a beach or two, while full-day boat cruises focus on swimming and snorkelling along the south coast.
How to choose
If you have one free day and love history, do Delos plus Rhenia. If you're here to swim and relax, book a full-day boat or catamaran cruise. Families and first-timers often prefer a guided island tour by car or minibus that stitches the highlights together with air-conditioning between stops.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best day trip from Mykonos?
The most popular day trip from Mykonos is the guided Delos archaeological tour, often combined with a swim at Rhenia island. Full-day boat and catamaran cruises along the south coast are the top choice for beach lovers.
Can you do a day trip to Santorini from Mykonos?
Yes, though it's a long day — high-speed ferries link the two islands in around two to three hours each way. Multi-day island-hopping tours are usually a more relaxed way to see both.
