Delos
Unnamed Road, Mykonos 846 00, Greece
Just a few miles from buzzy Mykonos sits a quiet refuge, the uninhabited island of Delos. Considered an important archeological, mythological and historical place, UNESCO made Delos a World Heritage Site in 1990. The island's first inhabitants date back to the 3rd millennium BC, and it claims to be the birthplace of twin mythical gods, Apollo and Artemis. Don’t miss the on-site museum and Temple of Isis overlooking the harbor.
Tip: Go early in the morning on a non-windy day, bring water and be back by lunch to avoid the heat. There are ferries daily from the port.
