Mount Kythnos

Mount Kythnos

Mount Kythnos is the highest point of the Greek holy island of Delos, part of the Cyclades.

Greek mythology states that Zeus observed the birth of his son Apollo (with Leto) from this vantage point. As the centre of the circular Aegaean islands ("Cyclades"), Mount Kythnos offers superb views of the innermost islands: Mykonos, Naxos, Paros, Syros, and Rhenia.
