Livadeia es una ciudad en el centro de Grecia. Es la capital del distrito regional de Beocia. El área alrededor de Livadeia es montañosa y las actividades agrícolas se limitan principalmente a los valles. La zona se ha asociado tradicionalmente con la producción y procesamiento de algodón y tabaco, así como con el cultivo de cereales y la cría de ganado. La ciudad también es conocida por haber participado en la Guerra de Troya en alianza con Micenas.
Hosios Loukas es un histórico monasterio amurallado situado cerca de la ciudad de Distomo, en Beocia, Grecia. Es uno de los monumentos más importantes de la arquitectura y el arte bizantino medio y ha sido incluido en los sitios del Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO, junto con los monasterios de Nea Moni y Daphnion. El monasterio de Hosios Loukas está situado en un lugar pintoresco en las laderas del monte Helicón. Fue fundada a principios del siglo X d.C. por el ermitaño Venerable (griego: Hosios) Lucas de Steiris (griego: Lukas), cuyas reliquias se conservan en el monasterio hasta el día de hoy. El santuario principal del monasterio es la tumba de San Lucas, originalmente situada en la bóveda, pero luego colocada en la unión de las dos iglesias. El monasterio derivó su riqueza (incluidos los fondos necesarios para la construcción) del hecho de que se decía que las reliquias de San Lucas exudaban mirón, una especie de aceite perfumado que producía milagros curativos.
El monte Parnaso es una montaña en el centro de Grecia que se eleva sobre Delfos, al norte del golfo de Corinto. El monte Parnaso ofrece muchas ventajas a la población de Grecia. En paz, posee vistas panorámicas del campo y cuenta con olivares y colinas. La montaña es también la ubicación de lugares de interés de importancia histórica, arqueológica y cultural (como Delfos). Recreativamente, las laderas del Parnassus proporcionan un medio para el senderismo (en las tres estaciones cálidas) y se esquían en invierno. Sus nieves derretidas proporcionan agua a las comunidades circundantes, llegando hasta Atenas. La montaña está compuesta de piedra caliza y su roca contiene bauxita, mineral rico en aluminio. En la guerra, Parnassus ha sido un centro de resistencia si es necesario, proporcionando cobertura y refugio a los partisanos.
Arachova es una ciudad de montaña y un antiguo municipio en la parte occidental de Beocia, Grecia, originalmente llamado Karyai (también deletreado Caryae). Su nombre es de origen eslavo del sur y denota un lugar con nogales. Es un destino turístico debido a su ubicación en las montañas, sus tradiciones y su proximidad a la ciudad de Delfos. Arachova tiene una vista panorámica, pequeñas casas cuesta arriba y las calles adoquinadas muestran una arquitectura pintoresca. El centro de la ciudad incluye un enorme y escarpado acantilado, el Campanario, cubierto de densa hiedra. En la parte superior de la torre hay un gran reloj de 10 m de altura. Arachova es famosa por su vino negro, su "brusquedad", los coloridos textiles, alfombras y tapetes, artesanías y creaciones en madera.
Llegada al sitio arqueológico de Delfos. Tiempo libre para pasear en: - santuarios de Apolo y Atenea Pronaia - antiguo estadio y teatro
El Museo Arqueológico de Delfos es uno de los principales museos de Grecia y uno de los más visitados. Es operado por el Ministerio de Cultura griego. Fundado en 1903, se ha reorganizado varias veces y alberga los descubrimientos realizados en el santuario panhelénico de Delfos, que data del período heládico tardío (micénico) hasta principios de la era bizantina. Organizado en catorce salas en dos niveles, el museo exhibe principalmente estatuas, incluido el famoso Auriga de Delfos, elementos arquitectónicos, como el friso del Tesoro de Siphnian, y exvotos dedicados al santuario del Pitio Apolo, como la Esfinge de Naxos. La superficie de exposición es de más de 2270m2, mientras que las salas de almacenamiento y conservación (mosaicos, cerámicas y metales) ocupan 558m2.
El Templo de Apolo, dios de la música, la armonía, la luz, la curación y los oráculos ocupaba la posición más importante y prominente del Santuario Panhelénico de Delfos. El edificio con la columnata parcialmente restaurada visible hoy en día data del siglo IV aC; es el tercer templo construido en el mismo lugar. El famoso oráculo, Pythia, operaba dentro del templo, el lugar elegido, según una tradición, debido a un abismo sagrado debajo del sitio que emitía vapores, que eran inhalados por Pythia. Algunos escritores antiguos afirman que Pitia entró en un estado de delirio y lanzó gritos inarticulados, que luego los sacerdotes convirtieron en oráculos equívocos. Esta interpretación es controvertida y ha sido cuestionada por eruditos como Joseph Fontenrose y Lisa Maurizio, quienes argumentan que las fuentes antiguas representan uniformemente a la Pitia hablando de manera inteligible y dando profecías con su propia voz.
Tiempo libre para almorzar en una taberna tradicional griega con sus amigos y familiares o de compras.
Tiempo libre para tomar un café antes de emprender nuestro viaje de regreso a Atenas.

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 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!

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.
