      Last year whilst staying in Mykonos, we decided to do some true historical sightseeing and got on a ferry boat and headed to the archeological island of Delos. To tell you the truth I didn't know what to expect to see, I knew that it wasn't as spectacular as the Acropolis in Athens, but as we stepped of the boat the was pure desolation and quietness - was spectacular. Now you can take a guided tour which will give you way more insight and background into this ancient site, but I'm not a fan of tours and love walking around, exploring in my own time. So that's what I did. There are many information boards located all over the site, which is very helpful and tell you a brief history and what a particular building looked like back then. This island must of been truly magnificent for its time and it's hard to believe that today this island stands totally in ruin and silence forever. To walk where ancient Greeks walked and lived really felt inspiring, I can only imagine what it would of felt like watching something in the huge open amphitheater - in wonderment ! The ferry boat ride there was bearable as I do get slightly seasick, but going back! Oh my word a total nightmare for me, as the sea become very rough and we all had to move down below as the waves kept washing over us. Not a great trip back but still a great experience stepping back in time!

      We only visit Mykonos so have never visit historical place in Greek. There was a guided tour from the port in Mykonos town, so we decided to join. It takes 15mins by boat. I was a bit worried about sea sick, but it was ok since the boat was big. (I think this guided tour use bigger boat.)the guide tour takes about 1.5hours, the woman explained background of the site with Greek history. At the end of the tour, we visit museum and saw some sculptures.We are quite satisfied to feel history of Greek, even stayed in Mykonos.

      We did this as a cruise ship excursion. A local boat took us on a 30-minute scenic ride from Mykonos to the west side of uninhabited Delos Island which led to the entrance of the archeological site and former religious center of the entire Aegean Sea. According to mythology, Delos was the birthplace of Apollo, the god of sun, light, music, harmony, and beauty. According to revelations of 19th century excavations, Delos prospered for centuries due to its strategic position within the trade routes of the Aegean. Today, its archaeological ruins stand as one of the most important historical sites in Greece. Our guide was Antoneta. We enjoyed a guided walk into the heart of the sanctuary where we saw the Temple of Apollo. We continued toward the terrace of the foreign gods. We paused for a moment for an unforgettable view of the Cyclades archipelago. We passed through the theatre and walked into the famous Hellenistic mansions of Delos with their superb mosaics decorating the floors and walls. There were cats everywhere. When we went into a little shop, I saw a big bag of cat food. We looked through a museum, seeing lots of found statues. I mentioned spay/neuter release to Antoneta, and she said they should do that.

      I was so glad I went to Delos while I was in Mykonos. I caught a ferry there, which was a lovely pleasant trip through the Mediterranean waters. When I arrived we grouped around our tour guide who then walked us around the island and all its archaeological sites. There was so much to look at, and the tour was very interesting. I walked around most of the sites with our tour group, including the famous lions - these were replicas as the real ones were in the museum also on the island. After the tour I made my way to the museum - which had so many more artifacts to look at, it was hard to see it all! There was an option to climb up Delos hill - if you get the opportunity make sure you do this! There are a set of stairs leading to the top and the view from up there is spectacular! I was astounded. I then made my way back to the boat, stopping and looking at many other artifacts along the way. If you are interested in history and mythology then this tour is a must see. It is also a must for those wanting to see terrific views of Greece.

      We were hesitant about using up part of our Mykonos cruise port day on this excursion, especially given the number of ruins we had seen already. But this place is so interesting, very extensive yet manageable, and picturesque with the ocean backdrop. As many have mentioned, there is no shade, so bring lots of water and a hat. Don't miss the museum at the back. It has amazing exhibits, including the original lion statues. Plus a rest room!

      This place is magical and unforgettable-- one of the highlights of our trip! Easy boat ride from Mykonos (20 minutes). Spent 4 hours there walking through history -- tons of well preserved ruins and so much to see. Take your time, just wander and explore. There were 5 of us on the island that day --- it was awesome. Wear comfortable shoes and 2 waters per person

      So glad we ended up being able to do this trip. It took up most of the time that we were staying in Mykonos, but it was by far the most interesting thing to do. It's very hot, no shade, so wear a hat, but it's also really informative and interesting. Hire a guide in advance and go on a group tour. Don't show yourself around and don't hire one of the tours on site. Without a tour guide, you will have NO idea what you're looking at.

      Birthplace of twins Apollo and Athena. You can take a ferry ride and tour for 40 euros from Mykonos to Delos Island. Would recommend a tour so that you learn what the area is and what you are looking at on this island. There is time afterwards to wander amongst the ancient ruins. Do take water as there is very little shade and can be hot depending on time of year. Fascinating that this entire island is uninhabited and you are free to explore. There is also museum on the island too. You can spend an entire day if you climb the hill and get a wonderful view of this site, the sea and islands. It is worth the visit especially if you love ancient ruins!

      This island is amazing -- very few modern incursions. It feels like walking into a newly discovered ancient city. Very much worth the effort of getting to this place. Take a climb to the top of the highest hill for a terrific view of the surrounding sea and nearby islands. Great photo spot.
