Delphi dagtour met gids vanuit Athene (UNESCO-site)
Beschrijving
Bezoek een van de belangrijkste archeologische vindplaatsen van Griekenland tijdens een dagtour met gids vanuit Athene, ontworpen om een comfortabele en probleemloze manier te bieden om Delphi te verkennen. Reis door de schilderachtige landschappen van Centraal-Griekenland in een voertuig met airconditioning, zonder dat u vervoer hoeft te regelen of met openbare bussen hoeft te navigeren, waardoor dit een gemakkelijke en efficiënte dagtrip vanuit Athene is. Verken de archeologische site van Delphi en de tempel van Apollo met de inzichten van een professionele gediplomeerde Gids, die u helpt de historische en culturele betekenis van het oude heiligdom te begrijpen. Deze ervaring is ideaal voor reizigers die Delphi in één dag willen ontdekken, een combinatie van begeleide bezoeken, vrije tijd en een goed begaanbare route die u in staat stelt om het meeste uit uw tijd buiten Athene te halen.
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Begin je Delphi Rondleiding vanuit Athene, vaak aangeduid als de “navel van de wereld”. Reis door de vruchtbare vlakte van Boeotië, passeer de historische stad Thebe en ga verder richting Levadia, waar onderweg een korte ruststop wordt gemaakt. Dit is een dagvullende ervaring waarbij u onder andere door centraal Griekenland rijdt, met ongeveer twee uur reizen voordat u de regio Delphi bereikt, met onderweg een korte stop voor rust.
Vervolg uw reis naar Delphi, de heilige plaats gebouwd op de hellingen van de berg Parnassus, gelegen in een landschap van opmerkelijke natuurlijke schoonheid. Bij aankomst begint uw begeleide bezoek aan de Schatkamer van de Atheners, een van de belangrijkste monumenten van het heiligdom. Reistijd van Levadia naar het Delphi gebied is ongeveer 1 uur. Begeleid bezoek aan de Schatkamer van de Atheners duurt ongeveer 1 uur.
Volgens de mythologie versloeg Apollo Python, de draak die het orakel bewaakte, waardoor Delphi een heilig heiligdom werd. De god werd hier aanbeden naast zijn moeder Leto en zijn zus Artemis. In het hart van de site staat de Tempel van Apollo, het belangrijkste monument van het heiligdom en het centrum van het religieuze leven in het oude Delphi. In de tempel bracht het beroemde orakel Pythia haar profetieën, waarvan wordt aangenomen dat ze geïnspireerd waren door dampen die opstegen uit een heilige kloof onder de site.
Je bezoek gaat verder in het Archeologisch Museum van Delphi, waar een indrukwekkende collectie meesterwerken uit de oude Griekse kunst te vinden is. Tot de belangrijkste tentoonstellingen behoren de bronzen Wagenmenner van Delphi en het standbeeld van de atleet Aghias.
Geniet van vrije tijd om het dorp Delphi te verkennen of lunch in een lokaal restaurant. Reistijd van Delphi naar Arachova is ongeveer 20 minuten.
Ga verder naar het bergdorp Arachova, waar u met een korte stop kunt genieten van de schilderachtige omgeving en het traditionele karakter. Bekend als een populaire winterbestemming, biedt Arachova een glimp van het lokale leven in de bergen van Centraal-Griekenland. Na uw bezoek keert u terug naar Athene via dezelfde route, met aankomst in de late namiddag. Reistijd van Arachova naar Athene is ongeveer 2 uur en 30 minuten.

I enjoyed myself. Maybe a little more time at the Delphi site would be nice to climb the path but I enjoyed the guide. Not everyone made it to the top of the path but again it's probably hard to figure out how much time to give a group with something like that.

We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the tour—this means a lot to us. We completely understand your desire for more time at the Delphi archaeological site.

DO NOT RECOMMEND. Paid $120+ for tour and was left behind because tour director didn’t know about performing a head count. After several communications, company unwilling to give a refund in spite of knowing I was not given the opportunity to see the museum. They finally did apologize.
Dear Laramie Driscoll, Thank you for taking the time to post a review for the «Full-Day Delphi Tour from Athens», since this is the only way to improve our services and understand any possible issues. All reviews are well accepted, whether they are positive or constructive. This is a wonderful tour which includes an archaeological site belonging to Unesco world heritage and we are not happy at all that you had such an experience. We apologize for any inconvenience caused during your visit, but it is a case that we never had before. As a travel agency we either organize tours from our side, either are organized by other agencies that we cooperate with. In this specific tour you participated, it was held by a partner of ours. We understand, accept and acknowledge your point of view and your testimony, BUT on the other hand, after thoroughly reviewing the situation with our tour partner, they had a different version of the events. According to their report, the tour operator informed you to enter the museum since the other members already did so, however you stated that you do not wish to enter. In fact, they noted that you mentioned the stairs of the museum are problematic to you, thus not entering the museum. Furthermore we also noticed that there was some initial confusion regarding the meeting point at the start of your tour in between us. That same morning, despite receiving clear details for the pick-up location(exact address/postal code, photo of the location on google maps) you went to a different meeting point. To conclude there was no possibility for you to be left behind the tour simply for the two following reasons : • By completing the reservation this means that you automatically are on the name list of the day and you have been accounted for at the start of the tour by the responsible staff. • Throughout the day, our team maintained communication to provide support and help clarify any questions you had. Considering all the above, we think this review is not a justified representation of our team. We hope to welcome you on another tour soon in our country with a different experience !

Our tour guide was so informative. Our driver so nice. This was a wonderful experience where you didn't feel rushed and got to see all on the site. Lunch was amazing with wonderful service. Would do this again!

I would have given this experience an average rating except for the final stage of my trip. I was dropped off from the bus at the end of the day a block from my hotel. This was not the spot where I was picked up that morning. To me, this is a foreign country, and I was left where I was unfamiliar how to get home. This decision to leave me short from my hotel was probably due to the bus in traffic crunch. Nevertheless, I was lost. Totally unwarranted stress. My other discomfort was the guide. His accent was a bit heavy and difficult to understand. He also seemed to not welcome questions. This tour guide needs to learn some people skills or find a new field of work.
Dear Virginia, Thank you for taking the time to post a review for the « Full-Day Delphi Tour from Athens », since this is the only way to improve our services and understand any possible issues. All reviews are well accepted, whether they are positive or constructive. The pick up procedure is a complicated one - especially in cities such as Athens where the historical center of the city is an area where big coaches have no access. The roads around the historical center are always traffic jammed and during the pickup or drop off the operation requires extremely brief stops. As you stated the bus left you one block away from the block you embarked (means less than 100m meters), so considering all the above factors this is something which might happen. Regarding the accent of the guide, please note that Greeks are not native speakers of the English language. So speaking a foreign language, the accent might vary from person to person. We hope to welcome you on another tour soon in our country! Stamatis Filippis (Owner/Manager)
