Ancient Delphi in a day
The sanctuary of Delphi is set within a spectacular landscape that was for centuries the cultural and religious centre for the Hellenic world. This ancient archaeological site is located on the south-western slope of Mt Parnassus approximately 180km (110 miles) and 2 ½ hours drive from central Athens. Perhaps best known for the Oracle of Delphi or “Pythia” - the high priestess of the Temple of Apollo, who was consulted about important decisions to be made throughout the ancient classical world.
What you will see:
The archaeological site spreads across the southern side of Mt Parnassus which is scattered with monuments and works of art from the ancient world, including:
- * Temple of Apollo
- * Athenian Treasury
- * Athena Pronaia Sanctuary
- * Tholos of Delphi
- * Ancient theatre of Delphi
- * Stadium of Delphi
- * Delphi Archaeological Museum
- * The nearby town of Arachova
The journey to Delphi is as enchanting as the archaeological site itself, passing through the mountainous scenery and cliff-side villages that are reminiscent of Greece. You’ll be travelling in absolute comfort and safety, in a Mercedes air-conditioned vehicle. Your private driver will set an itinerary with lunch and/or refreshment breaks according to your needs, stopping in the picturesque town of Arachova.
