Delos is to be found a few miles off the cosmopolitan island of Mykonos.                                                                                                                                 
According to mythology it is the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, which is the reason that even in ancient times it was considered a religious centre for all Greeks.

Today, though it is no longer inhabited, it is an attraction for thousands of tourists that visit from all over the world to browse around the impressive archeological site which covers the entire island and which UNESCO has listed as a world heritage cultural monument.
