Introduction to Delos: Delos is a small island near Mykonos and the center of the beautiful Cyclades Islands. Delos means "bright and brilliant" in Greek. The sun god Apollo and the moon god Artemis in Greek mythology were born here. Compared with the prosperous Mykonos Island, the many ruins here are very small. It is easy to bring people into the depths of history that are everywhere.
Historically, Delos was once the world's commercial center at its peak. Rich businessmen from Italy, Syria, Egypt and other places came to settle here and created a dazzling prosperity here. The Temple of Apollo built here in the 7th century BC was once a pilgrimage center for the Ionians after many reconstructions. The base of the stone statue of Apollo still exists at the site. Many other temples on the island are also listed in "Homer" According to the guide of the map, tourists can wait among the high and low ruins, look for mosaic murals in ancient dwellings, and linger in the island's museums.
