Livadeia er en by i det centrale Grækenland. Det er hovedstaden i det regionale distrikt Boeotia. Området omkring Livadeia er bjergrigt, med landbrugsaktiviteter hovedsageligt begrænset til dalene. Området har traditionelt været forbundet med produktion og forarbejdning af bomuld og tobak, samt dyrkning af kornafgrøder og husdyropdræt. Byen er også kendt for at have deltaget i Trojakrigen i troskab med Mykene.
Hosios Loukas er et historisk muret kloster beliggende nær byen Distomo i Boeotia, Grækenland. Det er et af de vigtigste monumenter for mellembyzantinsk arkitektur og kunst og er blevet opført på UNESCOs verdensarvsliste sammen med klostrene Nea Moni og Daphnion. Klosteret Hosios Loukas ligger på et naturskønt sted på skråningerne af Mount Helicon. Det blev grundlagt i begyndelsen af det 10. århundrede e.Kr. af eneboeren, ærværdige (græsk: Hosios) Luke af Steiris (græsk: Lukas), hvis relikvier opbevares i klostret den dag i dag. Klostrets hovedhelligdom er St. Lukas grav, som oprindeligt var placeret i hvælvingen, men som senere blev placeret ved krydset mellem de to kirker. Klosteret hentede sin rigdom (inklusive midler, der kræves til byggeriet) fra det faktum, at relikvier fra St. Luke siges at have udstrålet myron, en slags parfumeret olie, der frembragte helbredende mirakler.
Mount Parnassus er et bjerg i det centrale Grækenland, der tårner sig op over Delphi, nord for Korinth-bugten. Mount Parnassus byder på mange fordele for befolkningen i Grækenland. I fred besidder det en naturskøn udsigt over landskabet og byder på olivenlunde og bølgende bakker. Bjerget er også stedet for historisk, arkæologisk og kulturelt vigtige steder af interesse (såsom Delphi). Rekreativt er Parnassus' skråninger et medium til vandreture (i de tre varme årstider) og der bliver stået på ski om vinteren. Dens smeltende sne giver vand til de omkringliggende samfund og rækker ud så langt som til Athen. Bjerget er sammensat af kalksten, og dets klippe indeholder bauxit, malm, der er rig på aluminium. I krig har Parnassus været et center for modstand, hvis det har været nødvendigt, og givet dækning og tilflugt til partisaner.
Arachova er en bjergby og en tidligere kommune i den vestlige del af Boeotien, Grækenland, oprindeligt kaldet Karyai (også stavet Caryae). Dens navn er af sydslavisk oprindelse og betegner et sted med valnøddetræer. Det er et turistmål på grund af dets beliggenhed i bjergene, dets traditioner og dets nærhed til byen Delphi. Arachova har panoramaudsigt, små huse op ad bakke, og de brostensbelagte gader viser en malerisk arkitektur. Byens centrum omfatter en enorm og stejl klippe, Klokketårnet, dækket af tæt vedbend. På toppen af tårnet er der et stort ur på 10 m højde. Arachova er berømt for sin sorte vin, sin "brusque", de farverige tekstiler, tæpper, kunsthåndværk og træsnitkreationer.
Ankomst til det arkæologiske område i Delphi. Fri tid til en gåtur kl. - helligdomme for Apollo og Athena Pronaia - gammelt stadion og teater
Delphi Arkæologiske Museum er et af de vigtigste museer i Grækenland og et af de mest besøgte. Det drives af det græske kulturministerium. Grundlagt i 1903, er det blevet omarrangeret flere gange og huser de opdagelser, der er gjort ved den panhellenske helligdom i Delphi, som stammer fra den sene helladisk (mykensk) periode til den tidlige byzantinske æra. Museet er organiseret i fjorten værelser på to niveauer og viser hovedsageligt statuer, herunder den berømte vognmand fra Delphi, arkitektoniske elementer, såsom frisen fra Siphnian Treasury, og ex-votos dedikeret til helligdommen Pythian Apollo, som Sfinxen fra Naxos. Udstillingsarealet er mere end 2270m2, mens lager- og konserveringsrummene (mosaikker, keramik og metaller) fylder 558m2.
Apollontemplet, gud for musik, harmoni, lys, helbredelse og orakler indtog den vigtigste og mest fremtrædende position i Delphic Panhellenic Sanctuary. Bygningen med den delvist restaurerede søjlegang, der er synlig i dag, dateres til det 4. århundrede f.Kr. det er det tredje tempel bygget samme sted. Det berømte orakel, Pythia, opererede inde i templet, stedet valgt ifølge en tradition på grund af en hellig kløft under stedet, der udsender dampe, som blev indåndet af Pythia. Nogle gamle forfattere udtaler, at Pythia derefter gik ind i en tilstand af delirium og udstødte uartikulerede råb, som derefter blev forvandlet til tvetydige orakler af præsterne. Denne fortolkning er kontroversiel og er blevet udfordret af forskere som Joseph Fontenrose og Lisa Maurizio, der hævder, at de gamle kilder ensartet repræsenterer Pythia, der taler forståeligt og giver profetier i hendes egen stemme.
Fritid til frokost på en traditionel græsk taverna med dine venner og familie eller shopping.
Fri tid til en kop kaffe inden vi starter vores tur tilbage til Athen.

Alex and Nick were great! So accommodating, informative, and they planned our tour with the perfect stops. Alex, our driver, made us feel safe and comfortable in the large suv and we were able to nap on the way back. Because of this we were not exhausted when we got back to Athens :). Alex always had the car turned on and ready to go when we finished with our stop, and on top of that, WIFI in the car, and water bottles readily available. We also decided to add on a private tour guide, and Nick did a fantastic job. Having a guide really brought the history and mythology to life. From the moment we started driving from Athens he was pointing areas of significance for us to check out later and even some food recommendations. He was well spoken, easy to understand, and well versed in the stops we went to and the history of Greece in general. Please don’t hesitate booking this tour. We couldn’t be happier with our decision. 10/10 recommend

We couldn't have enjoyed our trip with Alex more. He was knowledgeable, courteous, and completely flexible to our schedule and interests. Delphi is an extraordinary site and worth the trip to see the monumental bronze Charioteer.

Well paced transport to both the Delphi site and the museum, along with a stop at a beautiful monastery. But you’ll be pressured to have a meal at driver Mike’s lunch spot. The view is appealing and the food is fine, but Mike clearly has a relationship with the place and he was frank about “the way things work“, which we took as a hint that he gets a commission for bringing people there. He’s a good driver, but his personality is a bit of a handful…he will debate even small details with you. And the trip is a bit pricey for what’s provided.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the pacing of the tour, the visit to Delphi and the monastery stop, as well as the scenic lunch location. We would also like to clarify that lunch stops during our tours are always optional, and guests are free to choose whether or not they wish to dine at the suggested restaurant.

We would also like to note that our drivers have no relationship with the restaurants or venues we suggest or visit, and they do not receive any commission for bringing guests there. We appreciate your comments regarding the interaction style and overall value of the experience, as feedback like yours helps us continue improving our services and communication. Thank you again for traveling with us.
Mike Iliadis was our driver. He was very good. He provided a good level of detail about the sites we visited and paced the timing well. He also answered my many questions about Greece — history, economy, traditions, politics — and patiently. He helped us adjust our plans to fit our evening schedule and traffic conditions. He did a great job of getting us a lunch reservation with a beautiful view and authentic Greek cuisine. He also knew all the places with clean bathroom stops. Highly recommend.

Loved St. Lucas monastery. It is a must see. Some of the most beautiful mosaics ever. And Delphi is amazing. Walk all the way to the top! It’s worth it. And we had lunch at the most beautiful location overlooking Corinth Gulf. And Michael was great. It was all so incredible!

Your kind words mean a lot to our team — we always strive to provide professional, friendly service and memorable moments during every tour and transfer.

We really enjoyed this well organized, private, friendly and professional tour. Spiros, our driver and tour guide was very pleasant, knowledgeable and accommodating he gave us tons of information and advice and plenty of time to make our site visits unrushed and at our own pace. Lunch was at a good local restaurant with an amazing view of the gulf of Corinth, and plenty of good local choices, with friendly staff. Delphi and St Lukas monastery are a must see. We highly recommend this private tour.

Our first two tours in our three-week Mediterranean trip was with My Athens Transfers and they were absolutely wonderful! We had many other tours, with other companies, throughout the trip, but these two tours stand out as the very best! Our first trip was the half day tour to Corinth and the Acrocorinth, which had incredible views! Stéphanos was our driver. We really enjoyed his story-telling and his passion for the history of his country. Our second trip, the next day, was to Delphi and the Monastery of Hosios Loukas. Delphi was fascinating, as expected, but the Monastery was beyond expectation. If you’re a lover of early medieval art, you must go! Our driver, Petros, was phenomenal. We learned a lot from him and he also booked us a beautiful table, with stunning views, at a great restaurant in Delphi. Both Stéphanos and Petros were kind, interesting, fun, and accommodating. We enjoyed having two informative drivers and then the chance to explore on our own. We also loved the door to door pick-up and safe return. If I ever have the privilege of returning to Greece, I will exclusively book through this company!

We had a wonderful day trip to Delphi with Petros as our driver. He was very well-organized, punctual, and drove safely throughout the journey. Petros is also a great conversationalist with a deep knowledge of Greek history—his insights really enriched our understanding of the sites we visited. One of the highlights was the lunch he arranged at a local restaurant with beautiful views—it was the perfect break during our trip and a great way to experience local cuisine. Petros is more than just a driver—he’s a true local expert who made our Delphi trip smooth, informative, and memorable. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience! We're truly glad to hear that everything met your expectations. It was our pleasure to assist you, and we hope to welcome you again in the future.
Immersive historical experiences. So glad we saw Delphi and Monastery. It’s worth the trip from Athens if you can devote the day to it.
