The sacred isle of the ancient
world, Delos is still impressive to even those with little
interest in archeology. The ruins cover a swathe of the island
starting at the coast and climbing to its highest peak. One
can see that in the ancient city, every known religion was
represented and temples to different Gods stood one beside
the other. It is a great pity that contemporary religions
are not so progressive. The cyclades are so named because
they surround Delos. Even today, if you climb the ancient
steps to the islands summit, you feel that you are at the
center of the world and nothing matters.
