Delos, Cyclades, Greece

Sitting pretty at only a little over one square mile and largely uninhabited, Delos was considered “the most sacred of all islands” in ancient Greek culture. Legend has it that this is the location where Apollo, god of daylight, and his twin sister Artemis, goddess of night light, were born. The UNESCO World Heritage site is by far one of the most important archaeological and historical sites in Greece. Indeed, its location at the center of the Cyclades gives rise to the theory that the name of the Cyclades group of islands comes from the word “circle,” or kyklos, that form around the isle of Delos. Most day visitors access this storied port by ferry; SeaDream will anchor offshore for maximum exploration.
