Κinthos, Ancient summit in Delos, Greece
Mount Cynthus rises 112 meters above the Cycladic island of Delos, featuring ancient stone paths leading to its prominent peak point.
The mountain contains remnants of a sanctuary dedicated to Zeus and Athena, with archaeological evidence indicating habitation dating back to the third millennium BC.
Greek mythology identifies Mount Cynthus as the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, with their mother Leto seeking refuge on the island of Delos.
Visitors can access the summit through two preserved stone staircases, with the northern path providing direct access to the mountain's archaeological remains.
The mountain slope contains the Antron, a granite-roofed shrine structure, along with inscriptions marking the boundary of the goddess Leto's territory.
