What you'll see
A whole uninhabited island of ruins half an hour by boat: temples, a theatre, houses with floor mosaics, the row of marble lions, a small museum, and a hill to climb for the view.
A brief history
Ancient Greeks held Delos to be the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis; it later became a free port and one of the busiest markets in the Mediterranean.
