Sail Delos, The Garden of the Gods, on a luxury yacht

Mykonos may be one of the most cosmopolitan destinations in the world today, however historically it was overshadowed by a tiny island to its southwest, Delos. Known as The Garden of the Gods, Delos was a beacon of religion, trade, culture and multiculturalism in Ancient Greece. Today, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its ‘outstanding universal value’. Pilgrims from all over the world would flock to holy sanctuary Delos, the birthplace of Apollo – god of music, truth and light – and his sister, Artemis – the goddess of the hunt.

Eager to share this bright chapter of history with the world, the Myconian Collection has curated a luxurious experience to introduce guests to the glory of Delos. Setting sail from Mykonos on a private yacht, guests are able to marvel at fantastic statues, ancient houses and temples with local insights provided an experienced tour guide.

Capture the dream with underwater photography

In the age of social media, we are all becoming a bit immune to typical holiday photographs: stunning sunsets, emblematic landmarks, carefree shots on sandy beaches. However, it’s less typical to find holiday shots taken underwater.

As part of its unique experiences package, Myconian Collection presents a chance to take part in a curated experience of underwater photography. Alongside an expert team, guests can take a boat to the perfect spot for a photography session – where they can dive into the crystal-clear waters of the Agean to let the bottom of the sea reveal its kaleidoscope of colours and magnificence. Guests can take an exclusive peek at the wondrous aquatic world, obtain pictures of themselves in a brand-new light and make memories for everyone to see – under the sea!
