Myth, Marble & Memory
Delos Island
Where Myth Begins and Time Stands Still
Walk. Wonder. Remember.
Before Mykonos became the playground of the world, it was the humble neighbor of Delos — the island of Apollo and Artemis, where mythology and history converge under an eternal Aegean sun.
Step onto the soil that inspired Homer, seduced Onassis, enchanted Dior and captivated generations of seekers.
Delos is not just an archaeological wonder — it’s a timeless realm of energy, elegance and echoes.
Whether you're a history lover, spiritual wanderer, or simply curious traveler — this half-day escape to Delos will awaken your imagination and deepen your connection to the Cyclades.
Guardians of the
Island of Light
We are more than a tour company — we are a part of Delos' living story.
Delos Tours is a family-run legacy, founded in the 1920s, when our grandfather Constantis Xydakis (“Rouhos”) first sailed visitors across the strait in wooden caiques. Our boats brought the first archaeologists, dignitaries, and islanders to Delos — long before Mykonos became the icon it is today.
Today, we are the leading provider of Delos tours, operating daily excursions with seven vessels and a team of expert certified guides, offering services in five languages from March to November.
This isn’t just a tour — it’s our family’s passion, passed down through generations.
A family legacy built on salt, marble and myth
— from our first wooden caiques to today’s unforgettable journeys.
Delos gave us the myths.
We carry the memory.

Step Into Living Myth
Walk the Sacred Way, where pilgrims once gathered. Stand before the House of Cleopatra. Explore an entire city lost to time — temples, markets, homes, statues, even an ancient synagogue — preserved in the island’s dry air and golden silence.
“You don’t just see Delos — you feel it.”
Enter the Energy
Whether you believe in ley lines or simply love peace and beauty, Delos radiates a powerful calm. It’s no coincidence so many visitors speak of feeling uplifted, inspired or mysteriously moved.
