Dilos



Dilos is the smallest island of the Cyclades with 14 residents and 3,5km2 extension. It is located a few kilometers West of Mykonos. The island's highest point is the crown of the hill Cynthus, located in the center of Dilos and has a height of 115 meters. The history of Delos is interwoven with the mythology as it was the birthplace of Apollo, son of Zeus, and Artemis. For this reason Delos was a sacred place in antiquity.
