Located near Mykonos within the Cyclades archipelago, little Delos is the home of what is arguably the most significant collection of ruins in Greece and has been listed by UNESCO as such. Birthplace of Apollo and a sacred place even before that, the island is shrouded in wondrous ancient mystery and folk legend. Once, a spectacular city flourished here, grown first by the Carians in the third millennium BC and then becoming a popular pilgrimage destination. Featuring an amphitheatre, several temples, a Minoan fountain, and much more scattered among the rugged wilderness, this is a truly atmospheric destination. Gain further insight with a visit to the superb Archaeological Museum of Delos.
