Highlights
  • Archaeological Site of Delos - Our Delos Tour from Mykonos visits the island that is believed to be the birthplace of Apollo and was one of the most sacred places of ancient Greece. The island undoubtedly owed its success to its superb location at the very center of the Aegean, allowing seafarers to meet it in the middle of their journey as they sailed from the major commercial centers.

Only a 45 minute boat ride away from Mykonos Delos was the centre of the Cyclades of the ancient world, the island of light, birthplace of Apollon and Artemis, home to the first multicultural civilization and having been inhabited between 2500 and 69 b.C.

Delos boasts of many treasures remaining from these times like the ancient market place Agora, the famous terrace of the Naxos lions, the holy lake, the ancients living quarters and theatre that give you a lively vision of the daily life then; especially the houses of Dionysos, Kleopatra, the Trident, the Masks, the Dolphins with their mosaics are a fantastic experience of art not to be missed.

Furthermore there are the Temple of Isis, the Egyptian goddess, the Roman water system and cisterns and the wonderful museum with plenty of breathtaking mosaics, statues and many more objects found during the excavations.

Great tour of Delos; some glitches with the tour operator - Delos is a must-see. It is truly awe-inspiring. Our guide on the island was highly knowledgeable. A 3-hour tour is not enough; we plan to come back and spend a full day or two on Delos. The problem with this tour is that the driver did not pick us up in Mykonos Town after the ferry returned from Delos. My texts to the tour operator were not answered until the next day. We took a taxi back to our hotel on the other side of the island. We are currently negotiating with Viator for reimbursement of our taxi fare; they have been easy to communicate with, in contrast to the tour operator. So, while I very highly recommend a tour of Delos, I cannot recommend this particular tour because of the unreliability of the tour operator.

First timers on Mykonos - Difficulty with ticketing provided through operator Kyklomar and Let's Book Travel. Actual tour company would not accept electronic ticket printed on line. Let's Book Travel called several times and did not answer phone. Six hours to correct ticketing missing tour which had to be rescheduled to following day. Calls to Viator to correct situation. On tour the guide was great and knowledgeable but with a large group was very difficult to hear with the wind. Some type of audio enhancement would have made the experience much better.

A DOnot - The tour guide in English had such a bad accent and we had such a large crowd in our group you could hear NOTHING! People dawdled and it is a barren island so no shade as we dawdled. The museum is closed but otherwise there was nothing we could see but a few ruins. Walking tour 1 hour and then on your on for 1.5 hr until the ferry returned. Bookstore didn’t have change for a 20 euro for merchandise I purchased. Bad tour but could have been great.
