―Kassandra^[src]

Sanctuary of Apollo was the main settlement within the region the Birthplace of Apollo on the island of Delos, Greece.

Considered sacred, shrines and temples to various deities were built in and around the town, but the grandest of them was dedicated to the Greek god Apollo. Another was the Hestiatorion.^[1] Being sacred also made the town a favorite location for pilgrimages, festivals, and games.^[2]
