Why go
This day connects Mykonos Town with the nearby ancient island. Start with a short look at the layered exterior of Panagia Paraportiani, then follow the Little Venice Waterfront. Keep these town stops concise so you have time to reach the old port and board a boat to Delos. The Delos Archaeological Site is the main visit, with paths through the island's ruins. The Delos Synagogue is an optional extension because its separate access is uncertain; ask on site before heading over. Confirm the outward and return boat times before setting out, and leave enough time to reach the Delos departure point for the boat back to Mykonos. Wind can disrupt the crossing.
