A brief boat ride from the thrumming nightclubs of Mykonos lies the UNESCO heritage site of Delos, one of the most important sanctuaries of the ancient Greek and Roman world.
“Delos is condemned to disappear in around 50 years,” said Veronique Chankowski, head of the French archaeological school of Athens , which has been excavating the site for the past 150 years under license from the Greek state. “Water enters the stores in winter. It eats away at the base of the walls,” noted Jean-Charles Moretti, the French mission’s director on Delos and a researcher at the French state institute for the research of ancient architecture .
A study by Aristotelio University in Thessaloniki last year found that increasing temperatures combined with high levels of humidity can significantly affect the chemical composition of certain materials used in cultural heritage monuments.
