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.
