    Sponsored by the DELIAN LEAGUE we will sail from the port of Piraeus to the Sacred Island of Delos.

    This is an ancient 18th century BC festival of the Ionians. It was first celebrated at cyber/Delos in 2005. It continues to be celebrated annualy as it was in the golden age of Greece.

    It is also called the Apollonia for it celebrates the birthday of the god Apollo [the sun] and his sister Artemis [the moon].

    It involved athletic and musical contests. The Athenian hero Theseus is said to have established it after his victory of the slaying of the Minotaur in Crete.
