Overview

Depart from Athens for Delphi by private luxury car or mini van and enjoy a scenic ride. En route, see Levadia and Arachova, towns known for their “souvlaki” and colored carpets respectively.

Once in Delphi, head to the UNESCO-listed mountainside archaeological site, one of Greece’s most significant. Next, tour the ruins and shed light on the site’s oracle, an ancient priestess who conveyed messages from the god Apollo. Admire the Temple of Apollo and other monuments, and then visit the Archaeological Museum to view its artifacts, including the Charioteer of Delphi and Sphinx of Naxos. As you set for the way back, there is an optional stop at Arachova or Delphi village to have a lunch, grab a coffee or try a traditional homemade sweet.

-Tour the Temple of Apollo and explore Delphi Archaeological Museum and ask the great Oracle for advise.

-Opt in for a fabulous lunch at a great location overlooking the sea and olive groves.

-100% personalized tour. No prearranged fixed tour.

Temple of Apollo

Arrive in Delphi, and visit the famous theatre, where you will enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, and get an insight into the world of the Ancient Greeks. Visit the Temple of Apollo, the center of Ancient Greece, and best-known for its famous oracle. The Oracle of Delphi was ancient Greece's most important religious sanctuary, dedicated to Apollo, where the priestess Pythia delivered cryptic prophecies from the Temple of Apollo on Mount Parnassus, influencing major political and personal decisions across the ancient world for centuries. Regarded as the "omphalos" (navel of the world), its pronouncements, often ambiguous and interpreted by supplicants, guided everything from war to colonization, solidifying Delphi as a center for spiritual and intellectual life until its decline with the rise of Christianity.
