Description
The film begins at the Taurus Monument and continues at the Stoa of Philip V. The filmmaker's friend reads the tourist guide as she is sitting in the ruins that remain from 3rd century BC. The tour of the Stoa of Philip continues by walking on the Iera Odos and passing by the agora of Delos that leads to the sanctuary of Apollo. The lens stands for a while on a podium, then we watch a monumental entrance and the ruins of destroyed houses.

We are watching views of Terrace of the Lions that stand in a row facing eastwards and then of the House of Hermes (2nd century BC). Details of the mosaic and colonnades that stand proud.

Afterwards views from the facade of the Temple of Isis with the statue standing intact on its stone pedestal, and then as we go down the stone path we see views of a farmer, a ship that is tied in the dock and a ship that is leaving the port.

The tour continues to the House of the Dolphins, the House of the Trident and the House of the Masks, where we watch details of the mosaic decoration. The lens wanders into the ruins of houses and gives us views of the ancient theater and details of a mosaic.

The film closes with a visit to the house of Dionysus giving us views of the floor mosaic and the house of Cleopatra with the last view at the statues of Cleopatra and Dioscurides.
