The archaeological site of Delos is perhaps unique, in that it is located on a small, narrow, barren island 5 km long and 1,300 m wide. The island is devoid of vegetation but resplendent in the sunlight, mainly on account of its rock-formations, that rise a short way above the azure sea. The highest elevation on the island (112 m) is Kynthos, beneath which spreads the sanctuary dedicated to Apollo and his sister Artemis, with the Hellenistic city around it.
