• 3) Delos, for those interested in the unique archeological sites and findings around the area, including guided visits on the island of Delos and its museum, and the neighbouring Rhenia islet.

Vintage sailing

It was an old merchant ship, a traditional Aegean Sea hull built in 1948, which had gone through many hardships and rough seas. Fifty years after its maiden voyage, Phoebus (www.phoebus.gr) went back out into the sea again. It had taken artist and decorator Zannis Koukas 6 whole years to restore it, maintaining its original beauty and charm and highlighting its unique identity.

The 21,6m long, 15m high beamed, open deck contemporary Phoebus is a luxury cruise ship fully equipped with two open bars, a dining and a lounging deck, catering for any special circumstance. This traditional wooden caique-turned-motorsail can take you to small ports, deserted beaches, nearby islands (Delos, Tinos, Paros, Rhenia) and is ideal for beach-hopping or wed-partying in style.
