Day Trip to Archaeological Site at Delphi from Athens
Athens, Greece
On this tour we visit Delphi, considered the religious center of the ancient Greek world and the seat of Pythia, the greatest oracle. Located on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, the ruins of the Sanctuary of Apollo overlook the timeless beauty of the ancient landscape. People from all over Greece would travel to ask advice from Pythia, the oracle of Apollo. In fact, in some of the most important moments in history, her words had a massive effect on the course of events and, as such, is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
The Temple of Apollo is the center of an extensive archaeological site that includes the Treasuries of the Siphnians and the Athenians, a theater, and a stadium. You can also visit the museum, which houses the famous Delphic Charioteer and the statue of Antinous, the lover of Hadrian. We stop in the picturesque mountain resort of Arachova. There we will relax, enjoy the beautiful views, or have a coffee at one of the many cafés.
