Day Trip Details
At the designated time, we'll meet at the meeting point you select during the booking process and hop onto a ferry to kick off this day trip to Delos.
After cruising over the Aegean Sea for approximately 30 minutes, we'll disembark on the island of Delos. As soon as we disembark, we'll walk to the most significant historical sites to begin a guided tour of the archaeological site of Delos, which will last 1.5 hours.
Following the explanations of your guide, you'll explore the ancient theatre of Delos and its surroundings, an area that UNESCO has designated a World Heritage Site for its historical value. We'll explore the former houses of Delian, Dionysus, and Cleopatra.
Then we'll climb the hill to see the old Delos theatre. You'll learn about the shows staged in this venue, which dates back to the third century BC, and which once sat up to 5,000 people.
The tour will continue to the Apollo Temple to see the famous Delos lions, a terrace of marble sculptures dedicated to the god Apollo.
The intimidating collection of feline statues was once much larger, but several were stolen by one of the Mediterranean empires over the course of history. Can you guess which? The answer might surprise you... After exploring more of the island's fascinating remains, like the House of the Dolphins and the Doric Temple of Isis. Afterwards, you'll have 50 minutes of free time.
