One of my favorite stops on my recent cruise of the Greek isles was Mykonos.  It was absolutely beautiful and granted us easy access to the island of Delos.  Now, if you follow world history you know that Delos literally used to be one of the cultural and economic center of the universe.  Today, it's home to an amazing archeological project that has managed, over the last twenty-two years, to unearth some incredible ruins of temples to Apollo, Dionysus and more.  Check out the pics!
