Delos is a small, isolated, rocky island in the centre of the Cyclades, near Mykonos, Greece. According to Greek mythology, Delos is the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis and the hub of Aegean culture for over a millennium.
Today Delos is an uninhabited open air museum, boasting the most extensive ruin sites anywhere in the world. The entire island is strewn with sections of walls and marble fragments.
Visitors to Delos are only permitted to explore for four hours before returning by boat to Mykonos.
