Delos (Greece) - Island Cafe

5/18/2012
There was a nice cafe next to the museum and there was enough time to stop and have some Greek coffee and a snack.


The view from the patio.
 They had good coffee and a very nice setting.
 The cats that hung around were very friendly and of course responded to this cute little girl.
This was a fun island and I would like to come and wander around when there was more time to explore.
The cafe is at the spot of the RED arrow.
And many thanks go to the informative and entertaining tour guide.  He is telling a story in this photo, not sending a kiss!
According to Greek mythology, Apollo was born on this tiny island in the Cyclades archipelago. Apollo's sanctuary attracted pilgrims from all over Greece and Delos was a prosperous trading port. The island bears traces of the succeeding civilizations in the Aegean world, from the 3rd millennium B.C. to the palaeochristian era. The archaeological site is exceptionally extensive and rich and conveys the image of a great cosmopolitan Mediterranean port. See more details on the UNESCO website.
