What to Notice among the Ruins of Delos
Delos rewards a slow look at more than its famous lions. Temple remains, market paving, a theatre and house mosaics show how sacred space and everyday commerce occupied the same island.

Start with the sanctuary of Apollo and the Terrace of the Lions, then look for the Agora of the Competaliasts near the former Sacred Harbour. Farther on, the theatre and House of Dionysus turn the ruins from an isolated shrine into a picture of an inhabited town.
What to look for
The Agora of the Competaliasts preserves holes in its paving for market awnings.
The House of Dionysus contains a floor mosaic showing the god on a panther.
The Stoivadeion's pillars and platform belong to a sanctuary of Dionysus.
Useful to know
Group the harbour and sanctuary sights first, then continue toward the theatre and houses.
Give the smaller details time; the market's paving and house floors are easy to pass too quickly.
