Description |
"The characteristic feature of the archaeology of Delos is that the great sanctuary of Apollo, the panhellenic Ionian religious center, existed alongside a large settlement with imposing houses, which were created by the development of the harbor of Delos into the largest commercial center in the Aegean."
