Discover Delos’ ancient ruins and Mykonos’ iconic landmarks. Explore temples, theaters, windmills, and more on this immersive Greek history tour.
- Delos - We first visit the Theater district, to see ancient houses, shops, workshops, the theater, and the huge public water cistern; we admire the almost perfect sanitary system of the town, as well as some nice mosaic floors.

Delos - Next, we proceed to the area of the temples to discover the ruins of Apollo’s temple, and marvel at the remains of his gigantic statue.
From there we walk to the slave market (Delos became super rich thanks to the slave trade!)
We’ll check the Sacred Lake, the exact spot where according to the mythology Apollo was born, and the adjacent Terrace of the Lions, a series of marble lions, supposed to be the guardians of Apollo’s birth place.
We also see the Stoa of Philip V, the Propylaea, the ruins of Leto’s temple (the mother of Apollo). - Mykonos Town - We return to Mykonos, to visit its monuments and landmarks: the Windmills, Little Venice, the iconic Paraportiani church, the Town Hall, the fish market, the monument of Lady Mando (the local heroine), the private chapel of Saint George, the shopping area, and more.

We journey to Delos, the isle revered as the birthplace of the deity Apollo in Greek lore. Presently, Delos is christened as ‘the Hellenic Pompeii’ following its devastation by pirates in 69 BCE which led to its enduring desertion. We explore residencies, marketplaces, art studios, holy places, temples, the amphitheatre, the slave mart, the Lions’ Terrace and more.
We undertake an all-encompassing exploration of Mykonos’ Old town, admiring its historic sights and landmarks: the wind-powered mills, the quaint Little Venice, the renowned Paraportiani ecclesiastical structure, the Municipal Building, the seafood market, Mando plaza, the secluded chapel of St. Nicolas, the retail sector and so forth.
