According to [[Greek mythology]], [[Apollo]] was born on this tiny [[island]] in the Cyclades archipelago. Apollo's sanctuary attracted pilgrims from all over [[Greece]] and '''Delos''' was a prosperous trading port. The island bears traces of the succeeding [[civilization]]s in the [[Aegean Sea|Aegean world]], from the 3rd millennium B.C. to the palaeochristian era. The archaeological site is exceptionally extensive and rich and conveys the image of a great cosmopolitan Mediterranean port.
