Scenes from Mykonos - Delos
Photo Date 29/8/12 9:07:17 AM Mediterranean Cruise - Mykonos 29 August 2012 Guided tour of the ruins at Delos. The guide was very interesting and had lots of anecdotes to tell us. We saw about 65% of the ruins but missed the section to the east where there is an ampitheatre and other substantial buildings. The ruins of ancient Delos extend north and south along the coast and consist of four main areas: the Maritime Quarter (next to the harbor); Theater District (southeast of the harbor - we did not go there); Sanctuary of Apollo (north of the harbor in the center of the site); and Lion District (north end of the ruins). A small tourist center in the Sanctuary of Apollo includes a pricey restaurant and bar, but no overnight accommodations. Informational signs among the ruins are in Greek and French.
