Private 4.5-Hour Tour to Delos

Your local expert will meet you at the cruise ship pier. Depending on where your ship is docked, you will either transfer or walk to the Diliana Port (old port) to catch the ferry. After a scenic 30-minute boat ride, you will arrive at the sacred island of Delos, which has remained uninhabited for centuries.
Guided by your licensed professional, explore the Sanctuary of Apollo, the temple of Artemis, the ancient theater, the old city, and the celebrated Terrace of the Lions. Walk among ruins that reflect the grandeur of Greek, Hellenistic, and Roman civilizations.
Your visit continues with the Delos Archaeological Museum, where sculptures, vessels, and everyday artifacts reveal how life once thrived on this remarkable island. After some free time to explore at your leisure, return by boat to Mykonos. If time permits, you may stroll through the iconic alleys of Mykonos Chora before rejoining your ship.
