Delos is one of Greece’s most important archaeological sites and a UNESCO World Heritage Site: an entire island of temples, mosaics and the famous Terrace of the Lions. This trip leaves Naxos in the morning and combines a visit to Delos with a free afternoon in Mykonos.
How the day goes
- Boat crossing from Naxos harbour.
- About three hours on Delos: the sanctuary of Apollo, the theatre quarter, mosaic houses and the museum.
- Free afternoon in Mykonos: Little Venice, the windmills and Chora.
- Return to Naxos around sunset.
Who it is for
History lovers, families and anyone who wants to see Mykonos without staying there. On Delos you walk on uneven ground with little shade.
What to bring
- Comfortable shoes, a hat and plenty of water.
- Sunscreen and sunglasses.
- Cash for the Delos site ticket, paid there unless you add it.
Best time to go
May to October. In high summer, protect yourself well from the sun on Delos. The site may close on Mondays in some seasons and strong wind can cancel the boat; in that case the date is changed or refunded.
