Overview

We visit Delos, the island where according to the mythology god Apollo was born. Delos is today known as "the Greek Pompeii", as it was destroyed by pirates in 69 BCE and ever since left abandoned. We see houses, shops, workshops, shrines, temples, the theater, the slave market, the Terrace of the Lions, and more. We do a complete tour of the Old town of Mykonos, to see its monuments and landmarks: the windmills, Little Venice, the iconic Paraportiani church, the Town Hall, the fish market, Mando square, the private chapel of St. Nicolas, the shopping district, etc.

What To Expect

1. Delos We first visit the Theater district, to see ancient houses, shops, workshops, the theater, and the huge public water cistern; we admire the almost perfect sanitary system of the town, as well as some nice mosaic floors. 1 hour

2. Delos Next, we proceed to the area of the temples to discover the ruins of Apollo's temple, and marvel at the remains of his gigantic statue. From there we walk to the slave market (Delos became super rich thanks to the slave trade!) We'll check the Sacred Lake, the exact spot where according to the mythology Apollo was born, and the adjacent Terrace of the Lions, a series of marble lions, supposed to be the guardians of Apollo's birth place. We also see the Stoa of Philip V, the Propylaea, the ruins of Leto's temple (the mother of Apollo). 1 hour

3. Mykonos Town We return to Mykonos, to visit its monuments and landmarks: the Windmills, Little Venice, the iconic Paraportiani church, the Town Hall, the fish market, the monument of Lady Mando (the local heroine), the private chapel of Saint George, the shopping area, and more. 2 hours

Amazing tour

Published on Jun, 2024

We couldn’t have chosen a better tour to Delos Island, Nicolás was very professional and knowledgeable, he gave us the needed information and at the end of the tour sent us his book about Delos Island, while in the tour not only he explained everything but also took us to some very important spots that no other guide went to, could really appreciate that, I would recommend this tour to anyone interested about the Delos Island history.

Very educational and informative. Perfect for history lovers!

Such a fantastic tour and guide! A driver picked us up at the port and delivered us directly to Mykonos town and our guide. He took us on a nice stroll through the town and headed to the Delos boat where he already had our tickets. Once we got to Delos we walked the whole thing! Our guide was rich with knowledge and knew everything about the buildings, the society, and more! Every question we had was answered. If you have any interest in history or ancient architecture this is for you. It sat right at the level of Pompeii and the Acropolis for our group! The walk through Mykonos was super informative and we left feeling like we understood the town very well. 100% recommend!
