Theatre Quarter & House of Dionysus (Delos)
37° 23.8′ N · 25° 16.1′ E
The marble theatre, rebuilt around 300 BC to seat several thousand, and the surrounding merchants' houses whose floors carry the famous mosaics: Dionysus riding a panther, the Masks and the Dolphins.
Practical
South of the harbour on the main route to Mount Kynthos. Wikipedia dates the House of Dionysus to the 2nd century. Keep to marked paths and don't step on the mosaics. Position is the OSM theatre feature.
