Embark on a fascinating journey into the heart of ancient Greece with our full-day tour to Delphi. Discover the epicenter of classical Greece as you explore the Delphi Museum and its captivating ruins, renowned for their ancient theater and the majestic Temple of Apollo.
Our tour begins from our terminal in Athens, taking you on a scenic route toward Delphi, one of the most famous archaeological sites in Greece. Along the way, you’ll pass through the vast plain of Boeotia, a fertile agricultural region, and the legendary city of Thebes, birthplace of King Oedipus.
The journey continues as you ascend Mount Parnassus, with a short rest stop on the outskirts of Livadia. Upon arrival in Delphi—known in antiquity as the navel of the world—you will visit the Castalian Spring and explore the archaeological site, marveling at landmarks such as the Monument of the Kings of Argos, the Treasury of the Athenians, the Athenian Stoa, the Polygonal Wall, the Monument of Plataea, and of course, the famous Temple of Apollo, celebrated for its oracle and designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
You’ll also have the chance to visit the Delphi Museum, home to spectacular exhibits including the frieze of the Siphnian Treasury, the Sphinx of Naxos, the statue of Antinous, the metopes of the Athenian Treasury, and the famous bronze Charioteer, originally created to commemorate victory in the Pythian Games of 476 BC, along with many other fascinating artifacts.
After Delphi, the tour stops in Arachova, a picturesque village on the southern slope of Mount Parnassus, for approximately 1.5 hours. Following a delightful meal in a cozy, family-run traditional restaurant (lunch not included), we will begin our return journey to Athens.
