Highlights

Centre of the ancient world

Terrace of the Lions
7th century BC · Naxian marble

Marble lions crouching on their haunches, guarding the Sacred Lake for 2,600 years. Weathered smooth by Aegean wind, their open-mouthed roar faces the rising sun.

House of Dionysus
2nd century BC · Mosaic floors

A spectacular floor mosaic showing Dionysus riding a panther in vivid colour. One of the finest examples of Hellenistic domestic art surviving anywhere in the Mediterranean.

Sacred Lake
Mythological · Now dry

The mythical birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. The goddess Leto clung to a palm tree here while giving birth. Now dry and fenced, with a single palm marking the spot.

Mount Kynthos Summit
Sacred since Bronze Age · 113m

From the summit, every island in the Cyclades is visible — the circle of islands that gave the group its name, with Delos at the centre.

House of the Masks
2nd century BC · Theatre mosaics

Multiple mosaic floors featuring theatrical masks and Dionysus on a panther. Among the finest surviving Hellenistic floor art in the world.

Ancient Theatre
3rd century BC · 5,500 seats

A theatre carved into the hillside with a massive cistern beneath — an engineering solution to the island's chronic water shortage. Sea views from the upper tiers.
