Itinerary

Day 1

As we leave from Athens for our two days Delphi tour, and start heading north towards Delphi, we drive through the fertile plain of Viotia, crossing the towns of Thebes, Levadia and Arachova.

Arrive in Delphi, the center of the Ancient World. On the slopes of Mount Parnassus, in a landscape of unparalleled beauty and majesty, lie the ruins of the Sanctuary of Apollo Pythios.

Visit the Archeological site of Delphi and start climbing to reach the level of the Agora, before you enter the sacred way to the Athenian treasury, the stoa of Athens, the rock of Sybil and the temple of Apollo, where the Oracle was. Recently an amazing recreation of the bronze base of the tripod the Greeks had dedicated to the sanctuary after they won the battle of Plataea was placed back to its original position.

We also visit the Delpgi Archeological Museum containing such masterpieces of Ancient Greek sculpture such as the unique bronze Charioteer statue, the sphinx of Naxos, the friezes of remarkable treasury houses as well as remainings of the gold and ivory statues of Apollo and Artemis.

Afternoon free.
Dinner and overnight in Delphi.

Day 2

The whole morning is free for you to see more of the ragged grandeur of Delphi and take photographs to remind you of its beauty.

We recommend a visit to the ancient sacred Kastalia spring, where all visitors would get purified, before entering the Oracle. Nearby lies the ancient gymnasium, the palaestra and the site of Athena Pronaia, the view of which you will be having from many parts of the site of Apollo and your guide will provide you with information about its history as well.

As our Two Days Delphi Tour comes to an end, we return to Athens by the same route.

The operator for this tour is very insensitive. They do not care about the person they just care about your money. I was not able to go on the tour because I became very ill and I was not given a refund even after I provide proof of hospital documentation. They do not offer any other alternatives in case one is not able to attend and had virtually no future dates that they could offer me to reschedule. While some websites will grant you credit to use for future trips
