A trip to Mykonos is not complete without a quick side trip to the island of Delos, which can take as little as half a day. You may have come to Mykonos for the sun and fun, but don't forget that Greece is about majestic ruins as well. Inhabited for more than 5,000 years, Delos was once the major trade and spiritual center in Greece. In fact, it was one of the most sacred centers in all of ancient Greece, and it's the legendary birthplace of the sun god Apollo and his twin sister Artemis, the goddess of the moon. You can explore many fine ruins of houses and temples on a guided tour, which comes with the price of a ferry ride to the island, bookable through any travel agent on Mykonos.
