Private Delphi Tour from Athens

Delphi is one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece and a UNESCO World Heritage destination. Our «Private Delphi Tour from Athens» is designed as a flexible full-day experience focused on the history, mythology and setting of this remarkable ancient sanctuary.

Your tour starts with pick-up from the agreed location in Athens. The drive towards Delphi usually passes through the region of Boeotia and may include areas such as Thebes, Levadia and Arachova, depending on the final route and timing.

Located on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, Delphi was considered by the ancient Greeks to be the «centre of the world», represented by the Omphalos. The site was dedicated to Apollo and became widely known for the Oracle of Delphi and its influence across the ancient world.

Depending on the agreed programme, the visit may include the main archaeological site of Delphi, with monuments such as the Temple of Apollo, the Treasury of the Athenians, the Theatre and the Stadium. Time at the Archaeological Museum of Delphi may also be included, where important finds such as the Charioteer of Delphi are displayed.

Lunch or a refreshment break can be arranged during the day, according to the final itinerary and your preferences. Meals and drinks are not included unless explicitly stated in the confirmed offer.

If time allows, the programme may also include selected nearby points of interest, such as the area of Athena Pronaia and the Tholos, or a short stop in Arachova on the return route.
