Delos

Birthplace of Apollo & Artemis

Delos-Lions of Delos 1

If you’re wanting to escape from the crowds of Mykonos, Delos is the perfect day trip for you. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage island 2 miles from the port of Mykonos and only a 40 minute ferry ride away.

History

According to Greek mythology, Delos was the birthplace of Artemis and Apollo, the twin offspring that Zeus fathered to Leto.

When Leto was discovered to be pregnant, Zeus' jealous wife Hera banished her from earth, but the god Poseidon took pity on Leto and provided Delos as a place for her to give birth in peace.
