About

Journey to the centre of the ancient world

The ancient Greeks believed Delphi was the centre of the world, the place where two eagles sent by Zeus met. For centuries, pilgrims travelled here to consult the Oracle, seeking guidance on everything from personal decisions to matters of war. This full-day tour takes you from Athens into the mountains to explore one of Greece's most important archaeological sites.

The journey to Delphi

The drive from Athens to Delphi takes you through changing Greek landscapes. You leave the coastal plains behind and climb into the mountains, passing through olive groves and traditional villages. The journey is part of the experience, with your guide sharing context about the regions you pass through.

Exploring the sanctuary

At Delphi, you walk the Sacred Way that ancient pilgrims once climbed. Your guide explains each monument: the treasuries built by Greek city-states to house their offerings, the Temple of Apollo where the Oracle delivered prophecies, and the ancient theatre with its stunning mountain views. The site is dramatic, set on the slopes of Mount Parnassus with valleys falling away below.

The Delphi Museum

The archaeological museum houses the treasures found at the site, including the famous Charioteer of Delphi, one of the finest surviving Greek bronzes. Your guide connects the artefacts to what you saw at the site, bringing the ancient sanctuary to life.

Lunch in Arachova

The tour includes a stop in Arachova, a mountain village known for its traditional character and local products. You have free time for lunch and to explore the stone streets.
