Itinerario
Prelievo da Atene e circa due ore e mezza di auto per raggiungere la nostra prima fermata.
Leonida era un re della città-stato greca di Sparta e il 17° della linea Agiad, una dinastia che rivendicava la discendenza dal semidio mitologico Eracle e Cadmo. Leonida era figlio del re Anaxandridas II. Nel 489 a.C. succedette al suo fratellastro re Cleomene I al trono. Leonida ebbe una notevole partecipazione alla seconda guerra persiana, dove guidò le forze greche alleate all'ultima resistenza nella battaglia delle Termopili (480 aC) mentre tentava di difendere il passo dall'esercito persiano invasore; morì in battaglia ed entrò nel mito come capo dei 300 spartani. Mentre i greci persero questa battaglia, furono in grado di espellere gli invasori persiani l'anno successivo.
Accanto al monumento di Leonida, nelle storiche Termopili, si trova l'innovativo museo del Comune di Lamia, dedicato alla battaglia del 480 a.C. che cambiò il corso della storia greca.
La battaglia delle Termopili fu combattuta tra un'alleanza di città-stato della Grecia antica, guidata dal re Leonida I di Sparta, e l'impero achemenide di Serse I. Fu combattuta nel 480 a.C. nel corso di tre giorni, durante la seconda invasione persiana della Grecia.
Tempo libero per il pranzo in una tradizionale taverna greca con i tuoi amici e la tua famiglia.
La Tholos di Delfi è tra le antiche strutture del Santuario di Atena Pronaia a Delfi. Il tempio circolare, a tholos, condivide il sito immediato con altre antiche fondamenta del Tempio di Atena Pronaia, tutte situate a meno di un miglio a est delle rovine principali di Delfi, nell'unità regionale greca moderna di Focide. La tholos fa parte del patrimonio mondiale dell'UNESCO di Delfi.
Il Museo Archeologico di Delfi è uno dei principali musei della Grecia e uno dei più visitati. È gestito dal Ministero della Cultura greco. Fondato nel 1903, è stato più volte rimaneggiato e ospita le scoperte fatte nel santuario panellenico di Delfi, che risale dal periodo tardo elladico (miceneo) all'inizio dell'era bizantina. Organizzato in quattordici sale su due livelli, il museo espone principalmente statue, tra cui il famoso Auriga di Delfi, elementi architettonici, come il fregio del Tesoro Sifno, ed ex voto dedicati al santuario di Apollo Pitico, come la Sfinge di Naxos.
Il Tempio di Apollo, dio della musica, dell'armonia, della luce, della guarigione e degli oracoli, occupava la posizione più importante e prominente nel Santuario panellenico delfico. L'edificio con il colonnato parzialmente restaurato visibile oggi risale al XX secolo aC e, secondo antichi resoconti, furono costruiti cinque diversi templi nel corso della storia. Il famoso oracolo, la Pizia, operava all'interno del tempio, luogo prescelto, secondo una tradizione, a causa di una sacra voragine sotto il sito che emetteva vapori, che venivano inalati dalla Pizia.
Tempo libero per scattare qualche foto prima di iniziare il nostro viaggio di ritorno ad Atene.

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!
