I've cruised around eight Greek islands - this ancient gem stands out

A favorite stop on Greek island cruises isn’t the usual crowd magnet—it’s Delos, an uninhabited archaeological island in the Cyclades. The article describes sailing through the Cyclades on two cruises with Star Clippers and Royal Caribbean, visiting eight islands, but says Delos is the one that stood out. Delos is a UNESCO World Heritage site and has no permanent residents, with only occasional excavation workers housed in small buildings. Ferries from Mykonos run four times daily between April and November, and the writer notes minimal on-island traffic even when multiple cruise ships were docked. The piece adds practical details about the lack of facilities and the island’s history.
