Delos Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

A short ferry ride but a world away from the crowds in Mykonos is the marvelous archaeological site of Delos. What was once among the most important religious centers of Ancient Greece is now one of the best preserved archaeological sites in all of Greece. The entire island is set aside as an archaeological park and is largely free to explore. Frequent guided tours are also a very good value if you want to dig deeper into the history of this amazing island. #lifeatexpedia

The small rocky islet of Delos is part of the Cyclades and is located a few miles south-west of Mykonos Greece. According to mythology, Delos is the birthplace of Apollo, god of music, of true and light, and his twin sister Artemis, goddess of hunting.
Amazing ancient architecture surrounded by crystal clear waters
Delos was once the commercial and sacred heart of the Cyclades, with tens of thousands of people. Now it is an unpopulated ruin and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's a quick ferry ride from Mykonos. Here is its theatre from its summit. http://timeanddestination.com/exploring-ruins-delos-greece/
