Day 4. Delos & Paros

The next morning you will visit the magnificent ruins of the island of Delos. Delos was the most important political and religious centre of ancient Greece, the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. The oracle of Delos was second in fame only to Delphi, and consulted before making major decisions. The ruins and the museum are a must. Lunch, relaxation and swimming can be enjoyed in the emerald-coloured bay of Rhinia, a nearby island. In the evening, you will anchor in the Bay of Naoussa on the north side of Paros, with its beautiful sandy beaches. Naoussa is a quiet fishing village by day, with good restaurants and one of Greece’s best red wines. Nightlife in Naoussa lasts until dawn with a flood of music from its many outdoor bars and clubs.
