Visit ancient Delos on this beautiful 'UNESCO 'world heritage tour.

Meet your guide at the Mykonos port and take a 35-minute boat ride to the UNESCO World Heritage site on the ancient island of Delos. UNESCO sites are selected and approved based on their value as the best examples of human creative genius. Delos, the birthplace of the immortals, doesn't disappoint.

Once on the island, your English-speaking guide will take you on a 2-hour 15-minute tour through the entire ancient city with its marketplaces, the public squares, the Temple of Apollo, the sanctuary of Artemis, the old town, and the amphitheater, and will walk you down the celebrated Lion Street.

You will also visit the museum of Delos and admire the Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman Sculptures, and a collection of vessels from all the periods. Ancient stones found on the grounds indicate that Delos has been inhabited since the 3rd millennium BC.

At the end of your tour and before you board the boat to return to Mykonos, you have some free time to take photos on the site before departing. Please consider your comfort while on Delos; bring a hat, water, comfortable walking shoes, and sunscreen.

Please note: The entrance fee to Delos Island is not included, and can be paid directly to the tour operator on the day of the tour for 20 EUR per adult and 10 EUR per child (4 to 12 years old). There is also a fee of 5 EUR per person (not included) for the wireless tour guide system, also known as WHISPERS, which must be paid to the operator on the day of the tour.
