Description

Discover Ancient Delos and its legends. Come on board the traditional boats and take a tour through the Agora, the Sacred way and the Temple of Apollo. Admire the house of Dionysus, the house of Cleopatra, and other notable homes.
Benefit from pick-up at your hotel or the cruise ship port in Mykonos at 09:15, and then travel by minibus to the new port of Mykonos Town. Meet your guide, and sail to the island of Delos, revered in Greek mythology as the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis.

Now considered one of the most important ancient archaeological sites in the Eastern Mediterranean, Delos was once a prosperous place of thriving trade and a center of culture and religion in the 8th to 1st century BCE.

Upon arrival on the island, follow your guide through the entire ancient city. Encounter the old market places and public squares, along with the Temple of Apollo and Sanctuary of Artemis.

Enjoy a refreshment at the café next to the museum before boarding the ferry back to Mykonos.
