Distomo - Arachova - Delphi

Livadia - Livadia is home to approximately 30,000 residents. It is situated at an elevation of 200 meters, at the edge of the Kopaida plain, with the small river Erkyna flowing through it. The city is encircled by mountains; Parnassos lies to the north and Elikonas to the south. The ancient town of Livadia (Mideia) was established at the base of the latter. It is a quintessential Greek city, rich in history and mythology, which has inspired poets, painters, and sculptors throughout the ages.

Mount Parnassus - Mount Parnassus is a limestone mountain in central Greece, towering over Delphi, north of the Gulf of Corinth, offering stunning views of the surrounding olive groves and countryside. In Greek mythology, this mountain was sacred to Dionysus and the Dionysian mysteries, as well as to Apollo and the Corycian nymphs, and it was the home of the Muses. The Dorians also held it in high regard. The name is believed to derive from “parnassas,” the possessive form of the Luwian word “parna,” meaning house or temple, thus translating to “the mountain of the house of the god.”

Monastery of Hosios Loukas - The first stop will be the Monastery of Hosios Loukas, which exemplifies the second golden age of Byzantine art (11th - 12th century), particularly noted for its golden mosaic decorations and exquisite architecture.

Corinth Canal - The journey includes a drive to the Corinth Canal, offering views of some Greek seaside villages and the island of Salamis, the site of the historic naval battle between the Athenians and Persians in 480 BCE. Opened in 1892, the Corinth Canal separates the Peloponnese peninsula from the rest of Greece, connecting the Saronic Gulf to the Corinthian Sea. Visitors will have the opportunity to walk across a pedestrian bridge to admire the canal up close, and on certain days, bungee jumping is available for the adventurous.

Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - Ancient Corinth, located at the base of the hill, includes the Roman Agora of Corinth, the Temple of Apollo, and a small museum. Beyond its archaeological and historical significance, the site is also a prominent religious destination in Greece. It is here that the Apostle Paul preached Christianity, was judged by the tribunal in the Agora, and established the best-organized Christian church of that era.

Temple of Apollo - The Temple of Apollo at Corinth is one of the earliest Doric temples in the Peloponnese and the Greek mainland. Constructed around 560 B.C.E. from local monolithic limestone atop a prominent rocky hill north of Acrocorinth, the Archaic temple symbolized the growth and prosperity of the Greek city of Corinth.
