Yacht Charters in Delos-Phinia Islands
The sacred island of Delos was, in the myths, the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. Today the island is uninhabited: it is a vast archaeological site whose superb monuments draw thousands of visitors in pilgrimage. The archaeological site covers almost the entire island where the sacred harbour was. From the harbour, a majestic sacred way led to the Sanctuary of Apollo, where there were temples, buildings. There are ruins of four temples to Apollo, one of them known as the Temple of the Athenians. Officially it is still forbidden for yachts to anchor off the coast of Delos.
But there have been several yachts spending the night anchored in the channel between Delos and Rinia (south of the Remmatia Islet). Furthermore, several visitors have said that yachts are condoned, even permitted, to visit Delos till 15:00 hours when the exhibitions are close. Consensus is that the Fourni Bay, 500 m further south, is the best anchorage, and for spending the night the nearby south bay on Rinia will provide good shelter from the Meltemi.
