- Delphi - Travel through Levadia and Arachova, known for its vibrant, colorful carpets, to reach Delphi. Here, explore one of the most significant archaeological sites in Greek history. Nestled at the base of Mount Parnassos, between the twin rocks of the Phaedriades, lies the Pan-Hellenic sanctuary of Delphi, home to the most renowned Oracle of ancient Greece. Delphi was considered the center of the world. Mythology tells us that Zeus sent two eagles from the universe’s ends to find the world’s navel, and they met here. The sanctuary of Delphi, set in a breathtaking landscape, served for many centuries as the cultural and religious hub and symbol of unity for the Hellenic world. It was also the venue for the Pythian Games, the second most significant games in Greece after the Olympics, held every four years.
- Temple of Apollo - Situated at the archaeological site of Delphi. Between the sixth and fourth centuries BC, the Delphic Oracle, considered the most reliable, was at its zenith. Delivered by the Pythia, the priestess, and interpreted by Apollo’s priests, the oracle was consulted by cities, rulers, and individuals, who showed their gratitude with lavish gifts, spreading its fame globally. The oracle was believed to have existed since time immemorial, accurately predicting events like the Deukalion cataclysm, the Argonauts’ expedition, and the Trojan War.
- Delphi Archaeological Museum - Explore the archaeological site and the Museum, where visitors can admire various archaeological treasures, including the unique bronze statue of the Charioteer. This statue was dedicated to Apollo by Polyzalos, the tyrant of Gela, in 478 B.C. after winning the chariot race at the Pythian Games. This exceptional statue exemplifies the “severe” Attic style and is undoubtedly the work of a master artist.
- Arachova - Enjoy a photo stop in Arachova on the return journey to Athens.

My spectacular journey to Delphi - My very first day in Greece could not have gone any better. After a very long flight I was apprehensive about starting on a group journey to Delphi. It was a spectacular success from the comforts of the transport coach and its experienced driver to the enthusiastic explanations of our guide. The vistas are smashingly beautiful. I am glad I chose the complete package to include lunch with tickets to the site visits.
The company did make unexpected schedule changes a few days before the original plan. So it would be wise to take this into consideration to perhaps allow for some flexibility in the overall trip plans. In my case the change didn’t detract from the experience.

Delphi-A Scenic Wonder - This was a fabulous tour through a mountainous region to Delphi. Spectacular views. Our guide, Jordan, was extremely knowledgeable and was gracious in answering many questions.
He was as good through the ruins as in the museum.
The ruins, were a look back in time we can only imagine . There was alot of steep climbing, but with the right shoes (good runners), it was no problem. I'm 70, and I could keep up with the rest. I had been doing alot of walking, to prepare for these climbs....a huge help, and a huge recommendation.
Well worth the money.
Lunch was amazing!

Nice tour! - The tour is super organized and the tour is great!
Delphi is a very mystical place if you get involved.
The museum was also oke and our guide explained everything wonderfully.
The restaurant for lunch was ok. However, every person who did not eat out (portions were very large!!) was questioned and insulted by the owner. That was less great.

Strongly recommended - Very enjoyable day in Delphi. Nancy was a great guide full of information expressed both on site & on the long drive. Loved listening to her. Delphi is a place that needs to visited more than once. She perfectly provided what we needed on our first trip. Strongly recommend the tour. FYI Amalia restaurant was excellent.

Underwhelming - We’d heard that Delphi was a must-see for our trip to Athens, but thought the area was underwhelming, especially compared to our guided tour of the Acropolis. The drive was lovely, through interesting mountains and countryside, and the guide did her best when she didn’t have any technology (all the other tours used a headset and receiver to be able to hear the guide’s voice) to speak to us as we were walking through the ruins and museum, but most of us couldn’t hear what she was saying.
