Begin your day at the pier in Mykonos and board one of the local kaiki (ferries) to the spectacular island of Delos and its most sacred and historic sites. Located at the center of the Cyclades island group, Delos was once a hub of trade activity and an important site of religious significance. According to Greek Mythology, Delos is the birthplace of Apollo, god of music, beauty and light. In the early 19th century, a dramatic excavation uncovered beautiful artifacts, mosaics, statues and buildings - and a walking tour reveals their former splendor. Upon return to Mykonos, board your motorcoach for a scenic drive to the tiny village of Ano Mera in the center of the island, home to the lovely Panagia Tourliani Monastery. Originally built in 1542 and dedicated to the Virgin Mary, its impressive architecture, whitewashed exterior and colored dome have charmed visitors from around the world. A welcome respite in your day is a stop at Kalafatis Beach, for a short stroll in the sunshine. Return to Mykonos for a walking tour of the picturesque town with a labyrinth-like maze of tiny streets; your guide will introduces you to some of the areas most treasured landmarks including the windmills, Little Venice and the spectacular Paraportiani Church. At the completion of your tour, you may continue to sightseeing on your own.
