Visit Delos
The island of Delos near Mykonos, at the center of the Cyclades archipelago, is one of the most important mythological, historical and archaeological sites in Greece. Accessible on a daily basis by boat from Mykonos, this small island is not only an archaeological site but a lifetime experience.
It’s often called “the sacred island” and “the island of light” because, in Greek mythology, it was the birthplace of Apollo, the god of light, and Artemis, the goddess of night light.
According to the Delos page on Visit Greece, “nowhere else in the Globe is there a natural insular archaeological site of this size and importance. No other island on Earth hosts so many monumental antiquities from the Archaic, the Classical, and the Hellenistic periods, i.e. the centuries of the great Greek art, on a territory used exclusively as an archaeological site.”
