The
ancient holy island of Delos
is a vast archaeological site. For many centuries it was the religious
centre of Greece. It was the centre of the circle describing the Cyclades
and the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis.

One
of the most cosmopolitan of all the Greek islands, Mykonos
has an international reputation and quite justifiably attracts a large
number of tourists from all over the world. Amongst them many intellectuals
andwell-known artists prefer Mykonos for their vacation.
Next to Dilos (the financial center of ancient Greece) and 88 nautical miles from Piraeus lies the island with its beautiful white houses, narrow paths, many churches and wonderful beaches. |
| Gray-green
rocks girt with prickly pear bushes and plains covered in wild flowers,
the occasional white-washed plaster of a rural house, a little church or
a windmill are characteristic features of the Myconian countryside.
Here
thehigh mountains encountered in most of the Cycladic islands give way
to smallrocky hills which combine with beautiful beaches to make up the
landscapeof the island. And this balance reflects best in the words of
a local businessman.
