Board your tour boat and enjoy a short cruise across the strait to Delos, a vital location for the research of ancient Greek history and mythology. Admire the results of the extensive excavation work on this island as you visit the ruins of the ancient theater. Stroll along the colonnades of Sacred Way and take time to admire the marble lions on guard at Sacred Lake, the birthplace of the divine twins Artemis and Apollo.
Marvel at the luxurious houses and creative mosaics still visible among the ruins. Hear from your knowledgeable guide how the island was once a thriving port, venerable cultural center, and sanctuary to the gods; it now stands uninhabited in homage to its incredible history.
