One Day
Best Delphi Tour from Athens... Delphi a day tour at the navel of the world from Athens!
At the foot of Mount Parnassos, is where the Pan-Hellenic sanctuary of Delphi lies. Here, is where the most famous prophet of the entire ancient Greece was located, Pythia.
Delphi is famous as the ancient sanctuary that grew rich as Pythia the oracle sat on the tripod throne and gave her prophesies about important decisions to be made throughout the ancient classical world.
Delphi was regarded as the centre of the world, as represented by the stone monument known as the Omphalos of Delphi, and according to mythology, it is here that the two eagles, sent out by Zeus from the ends of the universe to find the «navel» of the world, met.
Program
Follow us on a travel that goes back in time. Walk around the same stone steps and paths, where kings, politicians and mythical characters have, many centuries ago. As they did, so will you listen to the myths and prophecies of the Oracle of Pythia.
Join our Delphi day tour at the navel of the world from Athens as we drive through the fertile plain of Beotia, passing through the towns of Thebes (this is the place where King Oedipus tragedy's tale unfolds) and Levadia. Our destination is Delphi.
The ancient city of Delphi was considered by the ancient Greeks to be the centre of their World, their universe – “Omphalos of Earth” (Navel of Earth) is how they used to call it. The Oracle's prestige extended far beyond the boundaries of the ancient Hellenic World, as it gained influence across the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East.
This sacred city was built on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, in a landscape of extraordinary majesty. We'll have a whole day to exploit, so we will visit in order the following places: The Treasury of the Athenians, the Temple of Apollo Pythios and the Museum of Delphi.
The museum maintains an astonishing exhibition of masterpieces of Ancient Greek sculpture. Among its valuable exhibits, you will find the bronze Charioteer and the famous athlete Aghias.
When our visit to the archaeological sites ends, we will have lunch at the modern village of Delphi.
Later on, we will drive to Arachova, where we will make a short stop so as to delight its peaceful scenery. It is a discreetly beautiful mountain town and a lively winter destination.
We'll follow the same route on our way back to Athens, where we will arrive late in the afternoon. Our return to the Greek capital city signifies the closure of our Full Day - Delphi Tour From Athens. Do you believe in prophecies now?
