Delos was the destination of an annual mission sent by Athens following a vow the Athenians had made when Theseus sailed to Crete to fight the Minotaur. And it is this annual mission that delayed the execution of Socrates, as Plato tells us at Phædo, 58a-c (the trip from Athens to Delos is about 100 miles, but it could take a while depending on the winds).
