Itinerário
Termópilas é um lugar na Grécia onde existia uma estreita passagem costeira na antiguidade. Deriva seu nome de suas fontes termais de enxofre. Na mitologia grega, o Hot Gates é uma das entradas para o Hades. As Termópilas são o local de uma batalha entre as forças gregas e as forças invasoras persas, comemorada por Simônides de Ceos no famoso epitáfio: "Vá dizer aos espartanos, estrangeiro que passa, Que aqui mentimos obedientes às suas leis". Thermopylae é a única rota terrestre grande o suficiente para suportar qualquer tráfego significativo entre Lokris e Tessália. Ir de norte a sul ao longo da costa leste da península balcânica requer o uso da passagem, e assim as Termópilas foram o local de várias batalhas.
A Batalha das Termópilas foi travada entre uma aliança de cidades-estados da Grécia Antiga, liderada pelo rei Leônidas I de Esparta, e o Império Aquemênida de Xerxes I. Foi travada em 480 aC ao longo de três dias, durante a segunda invasão persa da Grécia. A batalha ocorreu simultaneamente com a batalha naval em Artemisium. Ocorreu na estreita passagem costeira das Termópilas ("Os Portões Quentes") em agosto ou setembro de 480 aC. A invasão persa foi uma resposta tardia à derrota da primeira invasão persa da Grécia, que havia sido encerrada pela vitória ateniense na Batalha de Maratona em 490 aC. Em 480 aC, Xerxes acumulou um enorme exército e marinha e partiu para conquistar toda a Grécia. O político e general ateniense Temístocles havia proposto que os gregos aliados bloqueassem o avanço do exército persa na passagem das Termópilas, ao mesmo tempo em que bloqueavam a marinha persa no Estreito de Artemísio.
Leônidas era um rei da cidade-estado grega de Esparta, e o 17º da linha Agiad, uma dinastia que reivindicava descendência do semideus mitológico Héracles e Cadmus. Leônidas era filho do rei Anaxandridas II. Ele sucedeu seu meio-irmão Rei Cleomenes I ao trono em c. 489 aC. Leônidas teve uma participação notável na Segunda Guerra Persa, onde liderou as forças aliadas gregas a uma última posição na Batalha das Termópilas (480 aC) enquanto tentava defender a passagem do exército persa invasor; ele morreu na batalha e entrou no mito como o líder dos 300 espartanos. Enquanto os gregos perderam esta batalha, eles conseguiram expulsar os invasores persas no ano seguinte.
Ao lado do monumento de Leônidas, nas históricas Termópilas, fica o inovador museu do município de Lamia, dedicado à batalha de 480 aC que mudou o curso da história grega.
Tempo livre para passear em: - santuários de Apolo e Athena Pronaia - antigo estádio e teatro
Uma intrigante maravilha arquitetônica situada no sítio arqueológico de Delfos. Tholos nos oferece uma janela para o mundo antigo e para a rica tapeçaria de crenças e tradições. O Tholos de Atena Pronaia é um edifício circular com um projeto arquitetônico distinto, apresentando um anel de colunas dóricas circundando uma câmara central. Construída no século IV a.C., esta estrutura única serviu como santuário dedicado a Atena Pronaia, uma variante da deusa Atena adorada em Delfos.
Delphi Archaeological Museum é um dos principais museus da Grécia e um dos mais visitados. É operado pelo Ministério da Cultura grego. Fundado em 1903, foi reorganizado várias vezes e abriga as descobertas feitas no santuário pan-helênico de Delfos, que data do período heládico tardio (micênico) até o início da era bizantina. Organizado em quatorze salas em dois níveis, o museu exibe principalmente estátuas, incluindo o famoso Cocheiro de Delfos, elementos arquitetônicos, como o friso do Tesouro Sifniano, e ex-votos dedicados ao santuário de Apolo Pítico, como a Esfinge de Naxos. A área de exposição é superior a 2270m2, enquanto as salas de armazenamento e conservação (mosaicos, cerâmicas e metais) ocupam 558m2.
O Templo de Apolo, deus da música, harmonia, luz, cura e oráculos ocupava a posição mais importante e proeminente no Santuário Delfo Pan-helênico. O edifício com a colunata parcialmente restaurada visível hoje data do século IV aC; é o terceiro templo construído no mesmo local. O famoso oráculo, a Pítia, funcionava dentro do templo, local escolhido, segundo uma tradição, devido a um abismo sagrado sob o local emitindo vapores, que eram inalados pela Pítia. Alguns escritores antigos afirmam que a Pítia então entrou em estado de delírio e emitindo gritos inarticulados, que foram então transformados em oráculos equívocos pelos sacerdotes. Essa interpretação é controversa e foi contestada por estudiosos como Joseph Fontenrose e Lisa Maurizio, que argumentam que as fontes antigas representam uniformemente a Pítia falando de forma inteligível e dando profecias em sua própria voz.
Tempo livre para almoçar em uma taberna tradicional grega com seus amigos e familiares ou fazer compras.
Tempo livre para um café antes de iniciarmos nossa viagem de volta a Atenas.

We used MyAthensTransfers for this tour and for airport pick up and drop off for our group. Each time, our driver was on time and professional. The day tour was informative. Delphi was awesome. The spot we went for lunch was beautiful and great. I will say that Thermopylae was really underwhelming. It consists of two statues. This has nothing to do with the tour, but just a spot that was kinda lost to history.
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback! We’re delighted to hear that our drivers were consistently punctual and professional, and that you enjoyed the Delphi tour and the lunch stop. We also appreciate your honest thoughts about Thermopylae. While the site itself is quite modest today, its historical significance makes it a meaningful stop for many visitors. We’re glad that overall you had a great experience with My Athens Transfers and hope to welcome you back to Greece again in the future!
Our driver was excellent, it was a lot of driving in one day and really great to have someone to drive us in a spacious, clean and comfortable vehicle. For 4 of us, the price was only a little more than going on a coach tour, so this felt very good value for money and our driver arranged a table in a wonderful restaurant with epic views for us. It was a highlight of our holiday and the best food we ate in Greece! We did two private tours and two airport transfers with this company and the service & drivers were exceptional. Highly recommend!!

We truly appreciate you choosing us for your two private tours and airport transfers, and we’re thrilled that our drivers provided exceptional service throughout your stay. Thank you for your kind recommendation — it means a lot to our team! We hope to welcome you back to Athens and Greece again soon.
Wow! What a great day! We have been on a lot of tours but this one was truly memorable. We wanted to see Thermopylae and Delphi while on this trip. But what made the trip was our guide, Notis. This tour requires a long car trip together there. The time passed quickly and enjoyably with us just chatting with Notis. Learning about Greek culture, history and other topics. It was like visiting with friends over coffee. Thermopylae has changed over the years but the museum had a great 3-D 12 minute film that answered most questions. The memorial was touching as the story of bravery and loyalty is a great one. Delphi was different. The museum there has the result of many years of excavation, making the site very real. The actual site requires a lot of uphill walking but many spots were awesome. Real History. To recap, Notis is my new Greek friend. I need to ask where else ha can take us. We will gladly go with him again.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that Thermopylae and Delphi made for such a memorable experience, and even happier to hear that Notis made the journey so special. His passion for sharing Greece’s history, culture, and hospitality is exactly what we hope every guest experiences. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him—he’ll be thrilled to know he has made a new Greek friend! We look forward to welcoming you back and showing you even more of Greece on your next adventure.
Such a great day trip. It is a long day from Athens but worth the drive if interested in the history of the battle and Delphi. Temple of Apollo was the draw. The museum was basically empty and the 3D show was neat. Our driver was amazing and got us there fast and made the trip better. It was hot so be prepared with plenty of water and wear decent shoes up the trek to see the temple, theater and stadium. The Delphi Museum was wonderful and packed with such interesting points but as we were so overheated and tired from the archeological site, we did not take the time the museum deserved. It would have been helpful and more interesting to have a guide inside the archeological site as we did not so just read the various signs.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the trip to Delphi and Thermopylae, and that our driver helped make the long journey comfortable and enjoyable. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to them. We also appreciate your helpful feedback. Delphi is indeed a fascinating archaeological site, and we understand that exploring it in the summer heat can be quite demanding. Your advice about bringing plenty of water and wearing comfortable shoes will certainly be useful for future travelers. We also agree that having a licensed guide inside the archaeological site can greatly enrich the experience by bringing the history and mythology to life. While our standard tour includes transportation with an experienced professional driver, licensed guides are available as an optional upgrade for guests who would like a more in-depth visit. Thank you again for choosing us. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back on another tour of Greece in the future!
We had an amazing trip! Everything was really nice. We have visited Thermopylae and Delphi Museum and Arheological Site. On our way back we stop for a lunch which was amazing. Dimitris Tabone was realy helpful and kind. He was asking always if we are ok, if we need a break, he explain to us some things about Delphi. We strongly recommend this trip and this driver.

We had an amazing time on this tour. Mike (Menelaus) was the best driver/guide. Mike reached out the night before to introduce himself and confirm pick-up time. The day of the tour, we wanted to skip one stop on the itinerary and instead stop at a shop on the way to purchase honey - Mike was very accommodating. He was a wealth of information, easy to chat with, and provided us with many recommendations for restaurants in Athens. He even thought our daughter might like to attend an outdoor movie near where we were staying, and looking up the information for us. If you are lucky enough to have Mike as your driver/guide, you will not be disappointed.

Our driver Panos was excellent, friendly and professional making the long drive enjoyable by keeping us informed about the places we visited. We would highly recommend this trip to Delphi and the Spartan 300 monument and place where the battle took place, not a lot to see there but still interesting. Lovely lunch in Delphi at a beautiful restaurant. Thank you Panos.
