While staying in Mykonos, we will visit the island of Delos, a 30 minute boat ride from Mykonos. Step into a realm of ancient wonder on the sacred island of Delos, a place steeped in myth and history. Nestled in the heart of the Aegean Sea, Delos was once the revered birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, making it a center of spiritual significance in antiquity. Wander through the remnants of the Sanctuary of Apollo, where the monumental Terrace of Lions guards the path to the majestic Temple of Apollo, a marvel of Doric architecture that once held precious offerings and echoed with prayers.
As you explore further, you'll encounter the stunning Temple of the Delians, dedicated to Apollo and Artemis. The Temple of Isis, a testament to the island's cosmopolitan character, reflects the influence of Egyptian culture and beliefs, harmoniously merging with the Hellenic surroundings.
Delos and its temples formed the most important spiritual centre of Ancient Greece, and we will explore very curious information around it.
We will return to our hotel in Mykonos that evening.
