What you'll do
Your journey to the mythical island of Delos begins with a cruise from either Naxos or Paros, setting the stage for an incredible exploration of one of Greece's most sacred sites.
Upon arrival, your guide will lead you through its ancient wonders, starting with the iconic Terrace of the Lions, the protectors of the island's sacred lake. As you wander, you'll encounter the temple ruins of Apollo and Artemis, sites steeped in myths, as well as the residential quarters of the captains and merchants that called the island home, where you can admire beautiful mosaics that decorate their mansions. You'll then make your way uphill to the third-century stone theater, immersing yourself in the area's history and mythology as your guide engages you with stories and historical anecdotes.
Leaving Delos, you'll cruise to the much larger Mykonos, one of Greece's most beloved destinations. Here, your guide will take you on a stroll of the labyrinthine alleyways of Mykonos Town. You'll discover the Cycladic tradition of whitewashed houses and the vibrant cultural tapestry that makes the island so famous. As you explore, you'll also have the chance to check out the iconic windmills and the romantic waterfront neighborhood of "Little Venice." Before concluding your visit, your guide will share recommendations for the best spots to enjoy lunch and find unique souvenirs, ensuring you make the most of your time.
The adventure ends with your return cruise back to where you started at either Naxos or Paros.
As your day comes to a close, return to the boat and sail back to Naxos.
