Sacred Island of Delos

After breakfast, you will be transferred to the old port to take a morning excursion to the island of Delos. A short 30-minute boat ride away, Delos is the birthplace of the Gods Apollo and Artemis. In the ancient world, it was an important trading port, a civilisation so advanced they had decorated houses, running water and all of the trappings of modern life. Uninhabited for over 1000 years, this well-preserved island makes for a fascinating few hours as you wander the ruins of Delos town.
