Beskrivning

Explore Delphi and Arachova on a trip from Athens. Walk through the Sanctuary of Apollo, visit the Delphi Archaeological Museum, and enjoy free time in the mountain town of Arachova.
Meet your guide in Athens and travel north as the city gradually gives way to the countryside and mountains. Break the journey in Livadia, where you'll have around 20 minutes to stretch your legs, grab a coffee, and enjoy a short pause before continuing toward Mount Parnassus.

Arrive at Delphi, a place the ancient Greeks believed marked the center of their world. Explore the archaeological site independently, following the ancient route through the sanctuary and discovering monuments that once surrounded one of antiquity's most influential religious centers.

See the Temple of Apollo, where the oracle delivered her prophecies, and encounter landmarks such as the Treasury of the Athenians, the ancient theater, and the stadium as you explore the mountainside sanctuary. Between the ancient stones, look across the slopes of Mount Parnassus and the valley below and see why Delphi feels very different from archaeological sites surrounded by modern cities.

Continue your exploration at the Delphi Archaeological Museum, home to discoveries excavated from the sanctuary. Among its celebrated works are the bronze Charioteer of Delphi, the imposing Sphinx of Naxos, and the statue of Antinous.

After Delphi, make the short journey to Arachova. Built along the slopes of Mount Parnassus, this mountain town offers a completely different atmosphere from the archaeological site you've just explored. You'll have approximately two hours to enjoy Arachova at your own pace.

Choose a traditional restaurant for lunch, wander between stone buildings and small shops, stop for coffee, or simply enjoy the mountain views and village atmosphere. After your time in Arachova, meet your trip attendant again and settle into the coach for the return journey to Athens.
