Delos Walking Tour
Delos, Greece
Why Walk Delos
Delos was the holiest sanctuary in ancient Greece — the mythical birthplace of the gods Apollo and Artemis. For centuries, no one was permitted to be born or die on the island. The archaeological site covers much of the small island, with temples, theaters, mosaics, and the iconic Terrace of the Lions. Today Delos is uninhabited and accessible only by boat from Mykonos.
