A full-day excursion to the islands of Delos and Mykonos. Enjoy a stroll along the sacred island of Delos and admire one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece. In ancient times, Delos was the sacred island of the god Apollo. According to the mythology, Leto, mother of Apollo, gave birth on this island that suddenly emerged from the sea. Delos was the most important religious center of antiquity; it became a political center and gave its name to the League of Delos, an alliance of ancient cities.
