 The Delos
Island
archaeological sanctuary, birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, is listed by Unesco as one
of mankind's most important cultural and historical sites. Delos was a
sacred island for Ancient Greeks and with
the Delos oracle being
second only to that of Delphi
the island became the holiest place in the Aegean.
As a result there grew a flourishing commercial town &
harbor on Delos with a
large population, temples, and open air
theatre.
The short boat
trip and guided tour to this now uninhabited
island of Delos, will give you some facts and a
remarkable insight of the Hellenistic ruins dating from 300
B.C.
The tour of Delos Island takes approximately 3 hours and your guide
will wander with you among the ancient temples (both Greek and
Roman) including the Temple of Apollo. You'll see the mosaic
floors of once grand villas, the famous Delos Lions, Cleopatra's house, the amphitheatre plus much more. |
