The Greek island of Delos is considered an open-air
archaeological museum. This island is also home to the temple of
Apollo, considered the god of art and light in ancient Greek
mythology, Azernews reports.
The historical place has suffered as a result of climate change.

Heritage List in 1990. Among the 13 sites most threatened by
climate change, the list includes historical monuments on the
