Meet Your Guide
Hi, my name is Nicolas, and I would be very happy to show you the place I live, this beautiful island,,... more
Visit the exciting ancient town of Delos (the "Greek Pompeii"), and then stroll in the Old town of Mykonos
I love this tour, and you will love it too, as it combines mythology, history, archaeology, as well as unspoiled natural beauty.
We'll visit an ancient town destroyed by pirates in 69 BCE and ever since left abandoned. But most importantly, Delos was, according to the mythology, the birthplace of god Apollo, the sun-god!
We start by visiting a residential area (one of the five discovered so far) and we walk among ancient houses, shops and workshops. And after visiting the theater we proceed to the area of the temples. We see what remains from Apollo's temple and of his gigantic statue, while further down we come across the infamous Slave Market (Delos became super rich thanks to the slave trade).
Finally, we reach the famous Terrace of the Lions.
We get the boat back to Mykonos, and we start a walking tour to see its landmarks, the Windmills, Little Venice, Paraportiani church, and more.
*Not recommended for people with walking difficulties, or people on a wheelchair.
Itinerary
We pick you up from the hotel (or cruise terminal), and after reaching Mykonos town we proceed to the port. The Delos boat sails at 10:00, getting there in about 35 minutes.
In the Theater district we visit a few houses, the theater, the huge public water cistern, and we notice the almost perfect suage system of the town.
Next, we get into the area of the temples (temple of Apollo, etc. )

Finally, we reach the Sacred Lake (where god Apollo was born), and the Terrace of the Lions, the guardians of the lake.

Read More Reviews For This TourProfessor Nikoloas was a fountain of information with this most enlightening tour from ancient history to modern day life in Mykonos and Delos. Nikoloas was on time, friendly and able to circumvent all the long lines. I give my highest recommendation to Nikoloas and know that all would enjoy joining him on this tour.
