Delos is an uninhabited island full of ancient ruins of temples, market, theater, houses, etc. It is considered as a sacred place and it is one of the sunniest areas in the world. Due to the increased sunshine it is a place of high concentration of cosmic energy. No wonder it was considered sacred by the ancients and it still gives you this kind of feeling.

Delos has been active from the prehistoric years and according to mythology it is the birthplace of Artemis and Apollo. Delos has served as the center and the Treasury of the Athenian Alliance during the 5th and the 4th century BC. It served as a strong commercial and religious center recognised even by the Romans. Later it was abandoned by its inhabitants and the ruins where constantly looted by pirates. The archeological interest about Delos started around the end of the 19th century when excavations started by the French Archaeological School of Athens. These excavations are still in progress and have revealed a large series of monuments and artifacts.

There is no accomodation available on the island.
