Rejseplan
Afhentning fra Athen og omkring to og en halv times kørsel for at nå vores første stop.
Leonidas var en konge af den græske bystat Sparta og den 17. af Agiad-linjen, et dynasti, der hævdede at stamme fra den mytologiske halvgud Herakles og Cadmus. Leonidas var søn af kong Anaxandridas II. Han efterfulgte sin halvbror kong Cleomenes I på tronen i 489 f.Kr. Leonidas havde en bemærkelsesværdig deltagelse i den anden persiske krig, hvor han førte de allierede græske styrker til et sidste standpunkt i slaget ved Thermopylæ (480 f.Kr.), mens han forsøgte at forsvare passet fra den invaderende persiske hær; han døde i slaget og gik ind i myten som leder af de 300 spartanere. Mens grækerne tabte dette slag, var de i stand til at fordrive de persiske angribere i det følgende år.
Ved siden af Leonidas-monumentet, i det historiske Thermopylae, ligger Lamia-kommunens innovative museum, dedikeret til slaget i 480 f.Kr., der ændrede den græske histories gang.
Slaget ved Thermopylae blev udkæmpet mellem en alliance af oldgræske bystater, ledet af kong Leonidas I af Sparta, og det Achaemenidiske Rige af Xerxes I. Det blev udkæmpet i 480 f.Kr. i løbet af tre dage, under den anden persiske invasion af Grækenland.
Fritid til frokost på en traditionel græsk taverna med dine venner og familie.
Tholos of Delphi er blandt de gamle strukturer i Athena Pronaia-helligdommen i Delphi. Det cirkulære tempel, en tholos, deler det umiddelbare sted med andre gamle fundamenter af Athena Pronaia-templet, alle placeret mindre end en kilometer øst for hovedruinerne i Delphi, i den moderne græske regionale enhed Phocis. Tholos er en del af Delphi UNESCO World Heritage Site.
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.
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 20. århundrede f.Kr., og ifølge gamle beretninger blev der bygget fem forskellige templer gennem historien. 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.
Fri tid til at tage et par billeder inden vi starter vores tur tilbage til Athen.

It was a beautiful and very significant and perfect day for us. The first stop was the Thermopylae, which was very emotional for my husband and me. If one is interested in Greek history, the Thermopylae and the King Leonidas monument are simply a must-see. Unfortunately, the historical significance is often portrayed as less important to the uninformed, which is not the case at all. Therefore, it was all the more important for us that when we traveled to Delphi, the Thermopylae were a must. After that, we went to the museum in Delphi. It was truly indescribable and very, very interesting. It is definitely worth a visit. Following the visit to the museum, one can view the temple ruins. Our driver Chris was very friendly, helpful, and drove us safely and comfortably. We felt completely comfortable and very safe. For that, we extend our heartfelt thanks once again. We can highly recommend everything.

Nikos was a great guide! Safe and efficient driver, gave us lots of great info to learn on the trip. Thermopylae is a short stop- and that’s all it needs to be. Most time spent in Delphi which was so beautiful. Lunch was amazing with incredible food and views of the vista! Loved this day and so glad someone else drove us so we could relax!

Our guide, Christos, was awesome, courteous, knows his history, and even knew the best local spot with the best views for lunch. Worth it many times over, the personal recommendations really made the trip, and the service makes it feel special. I would book again in a heartbeat!

This was an excellent experience to Delphi. George Remoundos was our driver, and he did an excellent job of making us feel safe and welcome. I appreciated the insights given, including recommendations for dinner after our tour concluded. The pace for our tour was perfect, and never felt rushed. The lunch location was beautiful, delicious, and a good value. I traveled with my wife and two teenage boys, and we all had a wonderful time. Would recommend getting out of the city to experience the countryside, and this was a pleasant means of doing so.
