The dry and rugged island of Mykonos is one of the smallest of the Cycladic group. An ancient myth tells that rocks strewn across its barren landscape are the solidified remains of the giant slain by Hercules. Mykanos has become one of the most popular of the Aegean Islands.
Excursion- Delos Apollo Sanctuary
Delos is an island sanctuary. It was revered as the birthplace of Apollo and his twin sister Artemis. Its vast archaeological site has revealed grand temples, and the most complete residential quarter surviving from ancient Greece. Situated at the center of Cyclades, Delos was not only the spiritual focus of the ancient Greeks' ethnic identity, but also a highly prosperous grain port and slave market. At its height, the latter had a "turnover" of 10,000 slaves a day.
