[World Heritage Site] A must-visit at least once in your life! Delos Island, where the entire island is a World Heritage Site🏛️🇬🇷

Delos, a World Heritage Site in Greece✨It's an island that can be reached by ferry in about 30 minutes from Mykonos! Delos is an uninhabited island that can only be visited during the day! There are only two ferry trips a day😳 If you go, it's recommended to take the 10:00 ferry and return on the 13:30 ferry! In fact, this is pretty much your only option😂 And of course, there are no places to rest (benches, etc.), so during your stay, you'll be walking around in places with almost no shade...! 🌟What is Delos? ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ According to Greek mythology, it is the birthplace of Apollo, the sun god, and Artemis, the moon goddess, who were the children of Zeus and Leto! It is also known as the place where the Greek city-states centered on Athens formed the Delian League in the 5th century BC. It was already inhabited around 2000 BC, and prospered as a political and economic center. After that, the island went through a history of wars and plundering, became a den of pirates, and the whole island was abandoned. It was forgotten until excavations began in 1873. Delos is a valuable place with many ancient ruins, centered around the Temple of Apollo, and excavations are still being conducted today. It was registered as a World Heritage Site in 1990! 👀What you can see on Delos┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ︎︎︎︎☑︎ Delos' symbol lion statue🦁Dedicated in the 7th century BC. There were originally nine of them, but due to theft and other reasons, there are now only five! The ones outside are replicas, and the real ones are kept in the museum. ︎︎︎︎ ☑︎ Residential ruins and theater ruins🏠The houses of wealthy merchants remain. The House of Dionysus, the House of Cleopatra, the House of the Dolphin, etc. ︎︎︎︎ ☑︎ Ancient Theater🎩 A large theater that can accommodate 5,500 spectators! Currently, only the seats stacked in a semicircle remain︎︎︎︎ ☑︎ Mount Kinthos⛰ A mountain with an altitude of 110m. At the top of the mountain is the Sanctuary of Zeus. There are also many other interesting spots such as the Temple of Isis! 🚨⚡Things to note when going around Delos┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ⚠️Hats, sunglasses, comfortable shoes, water, and sunscreen are essential!!! (I was wearing a UNIQLO UV hoodie)︎︎︎︎⚠️The island is relatively untouched, so it is hardly maintained😳︎︎︎︎⚠️You will be walking a lot, so it is best to carry less luggage! ︎︎︎︎⚠️If you are concerned about the overgrown plants and snakes, we recommend that you wear clothes that are not too revealing⚠️There is only one museum and cafe on the island of Delos, and no vending machines or convenience stores! ⚠️There are no buildings that provide shade, so sun protection is a must! ⚠️There are only a few ferries, so be sure to check the times! ⚠️If you get seasick, bring medicine with you⚠️The only toilet is at the entrance gate to the island. Be sure to use it before going around the island 💬Comments┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ A world heritage site that feels an incredible history...! It's really amazing that so many things from before the Common Era remain! It's worth visiting at least once in your life✨ Ancient residential areas and theater ruins remain. The mosaic with a dolphin motif is a must-see🐬It is recommended to input knowledge in advance, such as which ruins are what! Just like other cities in Greece, there are lots of cats 🐈 I went in May, but the sun was still strong, so if you go in the middle of summer, you must take precautions! Make sure to bring sun protection such as a hat and sunglasses, and water! ...
