- Delphi Archaeological Museum - The Archaeological Museum of Delphi is one of Greece’s most significant museums, showcasing the history of the renowned Delphic sanctuary and the ancient Greek world’s most famous oracle. Its extensive collections primarily feature architectural sculptures, statues, and micro-artworks, as well as dedications from the faithful to the sanctuary. These items reflect the sanctuary’s religious, political, and artistic activities throughout its history, from the establishment of the Apollonian temple in the 8th century BC to its decline in late antiquity.
- Temple of Apollo - The visible ruins of the Temple of Apollo date back to the fourth century BC and are of a peripteral Doric structure. It was constructed by Spintharus, Xenodoros, and Agathon on the remnants of an earlier temple from the sixth century BC, which itself was built on the site of a seventh-century BC structure attributed in legend to architects Trophonios and Agamedes.
- Ancient Theatre - The ancient theatre at Delphi is situated further up the hill from the Temple of Apollo, offering spectators a view of the entire sanctuary and the valley below. Originally constructed in the fourth century BC, it underwent several renovations, notably in 160/159 BC funded by King Eumenes II of Pergamon, and in 67 AD during Emperor Nero’s visit.
- The Tholos of Delphi - The tholos at the sanctuary of Athena Pronaea is a circular structure built between 380 and 360 BC. It features 20 Doric columns with an exterior diameter of 14.76 meters and 10 Corinthian columns inside. Located about half a mile from the main ruins at Delphi, three of the Doric columns have been restored, making it a popular spot for tourists to take photographs.
- Ancient Stadium of Delphi - The Stadium of Delphi is situated at the highest point of the Archaeological Site of Delphi. It overlooks the sanctuary of Apollo and offers views of the Delphic landscape. Constructed either in the latter half of the 4th century BC or after the Galatian attacks, it measures 178 meters in length and has undergone several refurbishments. The Stadium of Delphi is the best-preserved ancient stadium in Greece.
- Arachova - Arachova is a picturesque mountainous village nestled at the foot of Mt. Parnassos in Viotia, Southern Greece. It is the most cosmopolitan winter destination in Greece, favored by ski enthusiasts, celebrities, and first-time visitors seeking relaxation in a dreamy mountainous setting with modern tourism facilities. Its modern ski resort, proximity to Athens, and stunning mountainous landscape are its main attractions. Besides mountain activities, Arachova is also renowned for its vibrant nightlife and is a favorite mountain resort for Athenians.
- Delphi - At the foot of Parnassos, in the evocative natural landscape between two mysterious rocks, the Phaedriades, lies the pan-Hellenic sanctuary of Delphi and the most famous oracle of ancient Greece. Delphi was considered the navel of the earth, where, according to mythology, the two eagles sent by Zeus from the ends of the universe met to find the world’s center. For many centuries, it was the spiritual and religious center and symbol of unity for ancient Hellenism. In 1987, Delphi was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today, Delphi is a municipality in Greece and a modern town adjacent to the ancient precinct. The modern town was established after relocating buildings from the sacred precinct to allow for excavation. Visitors can explore the town and enjoy a meal.
- Monastery of Hosios Loukas - Hosios Loukas is a historic walled monastery near the town of Distomo in Boeotia, Greece. Founded in the mid-10th century, it is one of the most important monuments of Middle Byzantine architecture and art and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1990, along with the monasteries of Nea Moni and Daphnion. The monastery is located in a scenic area on the slopes of Mount Helicon and was founded in the early 10th century AD by the hermit Venerable Luke of Steiris, whose relics are still housed there.
- Livadia - Livadia is situated on the western edge of the Kopaida valley and is traversed by the river Erkyna. Its charming neighborhoods and old houses are captivating, as are the stone bridges at the Krya springs, offering a beautiful natural landscape with evergreen plane trees, natural waterfalls, and windmills. Visitors can explore the Byzantine Castle, the Oracle (an underground stone building), the stone Theatre, and the Clock. They can also enjoy a quick meal, savor the town’s famous traditional souvlaki, or relax with a coffee while exploring the town.
