GR - CYCLADES: Sanctuary of Dionysos on the Sacred Island of Delos
Roman Period was the most prosperous and wealthy period for Delos which turn into an important port. But, in 88 BC, the King of Pontos who was in war against the Roman completely destroyed Delos and Mykonos. The history of Delos appeared to have stopped after this period for no historical information have been kept or discovered. The excavations of the rich archaeological finds of Delos started in 1873 and continue to be carried out by the French School of Archaeology. The island of Delos became part of the World’s Cultural Heritage and is protected by UNESCO. It is reachable by taxi-boat from the island of Mykonos.
