Mykonos
After breakfast you will be transferred to the port for your organized tour to Delos. Sail to the small island of Delos on a caique (a small Mediterranean sailing boat). The island may be small but it is home to numerous impressive monuments and is heralded as the birthplace of the Greek gods Apollo and Artemis. Due to its religious significance a decision was made to purify the island and all remains of the dead were removed from it. It was also decided that from then on no one should be born or die on the island so that no one tried to claim it as an inheritance. As a result of this the island had no indigenous community and ended up uninhabited unlike the other important Cycladic islands. Return from your excursion to Delos back to the hotel on Mykonos.
