7Delos
Few places in Greece carry the mythological and historical importance of Delos. According to ancient legend, this small island was the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, making it one of the most sacred sites in the ancient Greek world.
Walking through Delos feels like stepping into a living museum. Visitors can explore the remains of temples, marketplaces, mosaicked houses, and theaters that date back over two thousand years. The famous Terrace of the Lions, once guarding a sacred pathway, remains one of the most iconic images of ancient Greece.
Unlike most archaeological sites, Delos is an entire island dedicated to history. It was once a thriving religious and commercial center, drawing people from across the Mediterranean. Today, its quiet ruins tell a powerful story of prosperity, devotion, and decline.
