It is a spectacular island of Greece that is regarded as the birthplace of Apollo as per the Greek mythology. There are a large number of statues, temples, mosaics, and theatres over here from different periods of history that can be worth visiting. 

Hence, the complete island has been accorded a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the place is sparsely populated by locals. In fact, it is not possible to make a stay on the island and for visiting it one has to travel by boat from the neighbouring island of Mykonos and it is also known as the best Greek Islands to be visited. 

Some of the best landmarks of the island include The Minoan Fountain from the 6th century BC, The Temple of the Delians, The Terrace of the Lions, the Stoivadeion, The Temple of Hira, and The House of the Dolphins among many others. The stone huts found on the island suggest that the place has been inhabited since the third century BC.

The island is very close to Delos and still replicates the glamour of its ancient past when it was a favorite spot among the elites of the country. The slender cobble-stoned streets in the center of the island are the most happening places at night for all party animals as the clubs and bars situated here attract them like bees to a flower! During the daytime, they can be buzzing with energy from shoppers who head here for making all types of purchase. Little Venice and the windmill over here are a must-visit for any tourist as they ooze an eye-catching charm of the place. 

To get a taste of the local side of the island, visiting its farms, and the secret beaches can be highly enjoyable. A guided tour of its small villages can help in exploring the culture of the place. A visit during the high-season can also be a memorable experience for any tourist as one can see the Meltemi winds and the behavior of the rough sea at the time.
