2.Delos and Mykonos Full-Day Boat Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 340 reviews · 9.5 hours · from $82

Spend a full day traveling from Paros to Delos and Mykonos. You get about three hours on each island, with transport, hotel pickup, and drop-off included. Delos is self-guided unless you arrange a guide and entrance ticket, while Mykonos gives you time for Little Venice, the windmills, shopping, food, or a quick swim.

“I wasn't interested in spending much time in Mykonos (a taste was enough) but I really wanted to see Delos. It was very easy to navigate on/off the boat. It was busy as I think it services both Naxos and Paros. The crew was great and very good at communicating times to return to the boat. The sites on Delos are pretty spread out and I had to really hustle through the last part of it to make it to the boat in time. If you really like this sort of thing and want to see it all you could probably spend more time then this activity provides. Mykonos is…”

Crew members such as Angel, Georgina, Giotis, and Panagiotis are praised for warm service and local insight.

“10/10. My wife and I booked this catamaran day trip as a part of our honeymoon stop in Paros. Professional and accommodating from the very beginning; we received a text a day in advance confirming our hotel pickup in Naousa and transport to the dock in Parikia in a luxury van. The catamaran was large and comfortable with many seating areas. The staff was amazing - Georgina is a 5-star chef and made one of the most incredible lunch spreads we’ve had in Greece, the Captain Angel was very knowledgeable and friendly, and first mate Panagiotis was an absolute vibe. We loved our time on this cruise and would recommend…”

Johanna’s warm welcome and helpful attitude set the tone for our day on the water. Alisandro was exceptional in guiding us through our first boat rental. His safety instructions were thorough and easy to follow, making us feel safe and confident as we embarked on our adventure. The map they provided was also very helpful, highlighting recommended beaches and activities. It added a whole new dimension to our day and ensured we made the most of our time on the water.

11.Delos & Mykonos Full-Day Trip by Catamaran

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 51 reviews · from $79

Spend nine hours at sea and ashore, cruising from Paros aboard an air-conditioned catamaran to Delos and Mykonos. You get three hours for the archaeological site and three and a half hours in Mykonos Town. Delos entry, food, drinks, and any guide cost extra. Hotel pickup may be available.

“The trip with Alexander Cruises has been great. They have been extremely punctual throughout which was good. Delos is absolutely worth it but I recommend getting a separate guided tour - it will greatly enhance your experience. You cannot get a tour in the island, so make sure you book it beforehand (we used Delos Tours and was great). Mykonos was also special. The only recommendation I have is to check the weather and particularly the wind conditions before going, especially if you are not used to travel by boat. The boat is medium sized so if the sea is rough, you will feel it. The sea was really choppy…”

12.Full-Day Small Boat Rental with Self-Driving

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 42 reviews · 8 hours

You’ll take the controls of a modern motorboat for up to six people, after a short port briefing from The Sailor’s Ride. Spend eight hours visiting Paros beaches, caves, sheltered bays, and the archaeological site of Despotiko. Snorkeling gear is included, but you’ll pay for fuel used and manage the boat without a crew.

“Overall this was a very fun activity - it was great to have the freedom and flexibility to go anywhere we wanted on our own schedule. For first-time boat drivers, it was slightly challenging and the wind made it more difficult to navigate in the marina. Secondly, we did not have internet service and did not get a map so we just winged it on the locations to stop at. If you're going on this tour, I recommend you have internet so that you can access Google maps, and just be prepared to be 100% on and focused when driving the boat. If you're looking to relax and not worry,…”
