Select your accommodation

Conventional ferries to Delos:

• Restaurants, cafes, bars, WCs, decks are available for any class of accommodation.
• Economy deck seats are spread all over the ship and you can seat wherever you want – the ones inside the ship, near the bar or cafeteria are better since they are more comfortable to sit, like armchairs. The ones outside are like swimming pool plastic chairs and tables – not comfortable for long trips, but fun to stay during the day, watching the beautiful blue sea and having a drink. The economy class stores the luggage in racks spread all over the ship, and sometimes not close to the place where you are sitting.
• Air seats are numbered seats so each passenger is assigned a specific seat. They are large and comfortable and if you intend to take a nap, that’s good enough. The seats are in separate private rooms on the ship. The numbers refer to the location of these “rooms” and that doesn’t make any difference. They are all the same. You enter through a private door to the lounge and at the back you have racks to store your luggage. It’s like a first class wagon on a train.
• Business class or/and VIP is a separate section with larger seats with the most comfortable seating. Both Business and VIP have their own bars, and are restricted to passengers holding tickets for those sections.

Highspeed and Sea Jets catamaran Delos ferries:

• Economy or/and Air seats are all that most people need. They are reserved/ numbered seats and roomier than economy on a jet airliner.
• Business class or/and VIP is a separate section with larger seats on the upper deck with the most comfortable seating. Both Business and VIP have their own bars, and are restricted to passengers holding tickets for those sections.

Although it is a small sunny island (extends over 6 km2) in the center of Aegean Sea, it became the religious and cultural center of antiquity. According to mythology, god of light Apollo was born in this island. Ancient Greeks believed that “Adelos” Asteria (or “Invisible” Starfish - former name of the island) was floating on the sea. After god’s birth “Adelos” became Delos (Visible) and was tied to the bottom of the sea. It was a religious center from 1.000 B.C. and a trade center from 478 B.C. Nowadays the island is uninhabited but you can go there by boat that departs everyday from Mykonos Port (6 nm distance).

Delos has been inhabited since 2500 B.C. First came Kares tribe, then Mycenaeans and from 1100 B.C. Iones. Around 700 B.C. Delos was already a famous sacred Ionic center, where they organized a convention with Pan Hellenic events. Many Ionic cities such as Paros, Naxos, Samos and Athens offered the island several votives.
Persian invaders respected the island’s sacredness. The first Athenian Alliance was established here in 478 B.C. aiming to the protection of Ionic cities. In the 3rd century B.C. Delos was no longer influenced by Athens but by Macedonia. In the middle of the 3rd century many rich businessmen and bankers came here turning Apollo's sacred island into an important trade center. During Roman occupation the island was announced free port and many Roman merchants and ship owners came to live here. 20.000 Romans, Egyptians, Sirius Phoenixes and Jews live in Delos.

In 88 B.C. the island was destroyed by King of Pontos Mithridatis and lost completely its sacred identity. In the first Christian years the island’s population was shrunk and Delos fell into complete decay. Whatever was left from antiquity was pillaged in 727 A.D. by the iconoclast Byzantine emperor Leontas Isavros, in 769 A.D. by Slavs and in 821 A.D. by Saracens.
