Review & FAQ:

Surrounded by the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea, just a few miles away from cosmopolitan Mykonos, the tiny, uninhabited Delos is one of the most important archeological sites in Greece and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Ionians arrived in 1,000 BC, and by 700 BC, Delos was a major religious center and later became a thriving commercial port, particularly in the third and second centuries BC. The ark of history is now an open-air archaeological museum with mosaics and marble ruins covered in blooming wildflowers in spring, offering visitors the chance to walk around the revival of the glory of the Greek civilization.
