TRAVEL THE WORLD - DELOS, GREECE
In1998 we spent the day on Delos, an island that has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1990. Delos was considered by the ancient Greeks to have been the birthplace of the gods Artemis and Apollo and as such, was for them a holy sanctuary. The excavations here are very interesting and extensive.
