Board a local ferry from the tender pier in Mykonos and cross to the ancient island of Delos.
Delos was the birthplace of Apollo and his twin sister Artemis -- the children of Zeus and Leto. This sacred island is uninhabited now, but its first settlements date to the 3rd millennium BC. The ruins on Delos are numerous and important to Greek history -- the Sanctuary of Apollo complex, the area of the Sacred Lake (which dried up in 1926), the Terrace of Lions, the sanctuaries on Cynthus, the theatre district, and the commercial harbor district. Your guided walking tour will reveal one of the most respected and revered sanctuaries of antiquity.
Please note: Please note: Tour requires a great deal of walking. Wear sturdy non-skid walking shoes. Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, cobblestones, inclines, gravel, grass, and steps. Shade is limited; please dress accordingly. Bring a hat and wear sunscreen. The public ferry ride is 45 minutes each way; the crossing can be rough; guests who suffer from motion sickness should consider this before booking and/or take appropriate medication. Use of an audio headset (included) will enhance your tour experience.
