A magical trip back in time – an unforgettable half-day trip to Delos! - A magical journey back in time – an unforgettable half-day trip to Delos! I can’t recommend this half-day trip to Delos enough – it was nothing less than fantastic! From the moment we set sail from Mykonos, the adventure began. The sun shone, the sea glittered, and you could almost feel the wings of history already on the boat out there. But what really made the experience unforgettable was the guide – a true star! With a perfect balance between deep historical knowledge and vivid narrative, she made the ancient ruins come to life. She told with so much passion and enthusiasm that we felt like explorers in a lost world – not as tourists, but as time travelers! Delos itself is a treasure chest of history. Walking through the old streets, past shrines, temples and mosaic-decorated houses, was like blasting in a living history book. The view from the hill over the whole island and the azure blue sea was simply stunning. The trip was perfectly organized: enough time to explore, ask questions and just enjoy the silence and atmosphere of this incredibly beautiful, mythologically charged island. Everything was well organized, from the transportation to the guide’s little extra tip on keeping up with the wind in specific places. If you are in Mykonos, then you MUST take this trip. It’s not just sightseeing – it’s a soul-rich experience where the past meets the present in the most magical landscape you can imagine. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

Amazing time in Delos - Cilia is amazing tour guide. She is very passionate in explaining the history behind this gem of archeological site. We liked Delphi but Delos blew past Delphi. When Cilia explained the details you can actually imagine and relate the site and the history. I usually dont leave reviews but felt this definitely need input from us. We are family of 4 traveling with another friend and their family of 5. Even the kids liked the tour. Great job Delos Tour and amazing job Cilia.

A fascinating insight into Greek History. - We really enjoyed this tour of the archaeological site at Delos. Our guide, Celia was not only a tour guide but she is also a trained archaeologist. This made our tour just that bit more authentic. Celia shared her wealth of knowledge with us and ensured that we were able see all the hidden treasures that Delos has to offer.

Plan ahead - The tour of Delos was fascinating with an archaeologist for the tour guide! She was very good! However, the hotel transfers drops you off at the other side of the bay so it’s a mad dash to walk from the old port/bus station area to walk all the way around to basically Little Venice where the Delos stand actually is near Jackie Qs bar. Be aware the physical boats that take you across to Delos island felt over filled with a lack of seating. Also, it’s cash only for water and snacks on board! The physical boat transfers with the vast numbers of people, plus the hotel drop off on the other side of Mykonos was stressful! Plan ahead early !
