Delos

Today we visited Delos, an island about an hour ferry ride away from where I live. It's basically an archeological site, the whole island is full of a city of ruins. Nobody lives there now, tourists visit and archeologists explore it. When Delos was a running city thousands of years of ago, people could not be born and could not die on the island, they had to go elsewhere to do so. The reason for this was so the island didn't belong to anyone, it had no ownership I guess. Most of the city that remained was literally rocks. There wasn't one structure that was even remotely a full building. In the museum they had on the island there were a lot of full sculptures and paintings. They were quite beautiful, I was surprised that most of the sculptures were so in tact. The paintings were really interesting to look at, as well. Most of them actually looked like Native American paintings rather than Greek ones. The island was pretty decent, but it was mostly full of old English tourists with weggies and wearing bucket hats. haha
