A Mykonos sightseeing tour would never be complete without a trip to Delos Island, which is located opposite the western coast of Mykonos. In reality, Delos Island is an open-air museum and one of the finest archaeological sites in Greece. According to mythology, Delos was the birthplace of the Olympian gods Apollo and Artemis. Ancient Delos was a very important religious center in the Aegean Sea region. On Delos, visitors have the unique opportunity to admire the breathtaking monuments that have been preserved through the ages. The whole island is heavily guarded, overnight stays are forbidden and only licensed tour boats are permitted to transport visitors to Delos. Apart from the outdoor sites, you can visit the Archaeological Museum of Delos, which has a magnificent collection of pottery, friezes, statues, mosaics, figurines, jewellery and other small artefacts, which were found on the island, some of which date back to Prehistoric Times.
