Delos

Just 25-minutes from Mykonos, the island of Delos once was the commerce capital of the Greek Empire as well as the birth place of Apollo and Artemis. The city that developed puts many of the other archeological sites of Greece to sham. However, like many of these ancient sites, they have been pilaged by former power hungry kings and queens along with pirates. If you ever have the opportunity to go to Delos, take the time and marvel in the ruins of the once thriving city.
