Highlights
  • Delphi Archaeological Museum - Delphi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site!

Welcome to the grandeur of Delphi, where nature and ancient ruins blend in an extraordinary way, enhancing the beauty of one another against a setting of mountains, terraces and trees. Located on the slopes of Mount Parnassos, hundreds of feet above the sea, it is easy to see why Delphi was once believed to be the center of the earth.

Before you reach the archaeological site of Delphi and its Museum, a short stop at the traditional picturesque village of Arachova is a must!

Take your chance to lay back and listen to your driver as he ,on the way to your destination, he tells you the fascinating history of the Sanctuary of Apollo, the paved Sacred Way, and the Doric temple of Apollo. Admire the Theatre and the Stadium, used for the main events of the Pythian Festival, located on terraces above the Temple. To the right of the entrance to the Sanctuary is the Kastalian Fountain, where Pythia washed before speaking her prophecies. Across and below the road from the Spring you will find the Marmaria or Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia, with the conspicuous building of Tholos.

Before our departure to Athens a lunch can be a good option to complete this unique authentic experience to the countryside of Greece.

Great personal experience with knowledgeable tour guide - Excellent tour. The driver was prompt. The tour guide was wonderfully knowledgeable & accommodating. Lunch was at a lovely family restaurant. And there was still time to do some of the best shopping i did in Greece.

Great trip. - It appears that we went at the best time as all of the locals were on vacation so traffic was almost nonexistent. The Temple of Apollo was magnificent, although quite a hike, and the scenery was beautiful. After visiting the Temple we went to the museum and then lunch. The restaurant was great and the view was spectacular. I had the lamb chops and they were very tasty. A great trip.
