Delos Archaeological Island
Delos is a small Cycladic island dominated by ancient ruins. Go for the close connection between Apollo's sanctuary and the remains of a trading town, with exposed ground between its main sights.

Keep exploring Greek Islands with our travel partners.
The sanctuary, Terrace of the Lions and houses with mosaics show different sides of the same island: a place of worship that also became a busy commercial centre. Walking between them makes the scale of ancient Delos easier to grasp than viewing a single monument in isolation.
What to look for
The Terrace of the Lions marks a processional approach to Apollo's sanctuary.
The House of Dionysus takes its name from a mosaic of Dionysus riding a panther.
Market squares and a theatre reveal the island beyond its sacred centre.
Useful to know
Allow time to move between the sanctuary, the lions and the residential quarter on foot.
Expect an open archaeological landscape; plan the walk around heat and wind.
