Delphi Full Day Trip from Athens with Guide

For the ancient Greeks, Delphi was the centre of the world, the place where heaven and earth met, and visiting today you can still feel that sense of power and mystery. This full-day trip from Athens takes you through the beautiful Greek countryside to the UNESCO World Heritage site perched on the slopes of Mount Parnassus. Your expert guide walks you through the Sacred Way to the Temple of Apollo, where the legendary Oracle of Delphi delivered prophecies that shaped the fate of nations. You will see the perfectly preserved ancient theatre with seating for 5,000 spectators and views that stretch to the olive-filled valley below, the athletic stadium where the Pythian Games were held, and the Treasury of the Athenians. After the ruins, visit the excellent Delphi Archaeological Museum, home to the famous Charioteer of Delphi and intricate golden offerings left by ancient pilgrims. A traditional Greek lunch in the nearby village of Arachova rounds out the day before the scenic drive back to Athens.
