Itinerary
Our tour will begin from the port of Mykonos
The 5.8 m high columns of the atrium of the House of Dionysos, Delos. 3rd-2nd century BCE. The famous mosaic depicting Dionysos riding a tiger was discovered here.
Delos is a Greek island and archaeological site in the Aegean Sea's Cyclades archipelago, near Mykonos. The mythological birthplace of Apollo, it was a major religious center and port during the 1st millennium B.C. The island's ruins encompass Doric temples, markets, an amphitheater, houses with mosaics and the iconic Terrace of the Lions statues. The Archaeological Museum displays statues excavated from the site.
Up the hill, behind the cafe and museum you can see the Temple of Isis. It takes about 10 minutes to walk up the hill to get here but it is totally worth it. Not everyone that on the island goes here so there is a little peace and quiet and the views are amazing!

About Mykonos
Whitewashed lanes, windmills and golden beaches make sun-bleached Mykonos a Cycladic favourite, famous for its glamour and lively nights.
Mykonos Town, or Chora, is a maze of narrow lanes, blue doors, tiny churches and bougainvillea, said to have been laid out to confuse pirates. Little Venice, where balconied houses hang over the sea, is the classic place for sunset, with a row of windmills on the hill above. The Paraportiani Church, a whitewashed cluster of chapels, is the island's most photographed building.
Top-ranked sights in Mykonos: Mykonos Town (Chora Mykonos), Little Venice, Mykonos Windmills (Kato Mili).
