Itinerary
Delphi Ancient Town
Start your day the smart way — and enjoy a more comfortable, well-paced experience in a small group from our central meeting point at Platia Karaiskaki. Depart Athens with a friendly trip attendant (archaeologist) by bus from the Platia Karaiskaki and reach Delphi that rises between two terraced rocks, the Fedriades. Delphi is considered the “navel of the earth” and the center of the wisdom of ancient Greek civilization. It was the holiest site of ancient Greek hosting the Oracle of Delphi with the priory of Olympian god Apollo, Pythia who transferred the prediction of the god to the humans. Explore the Oracle of Delphi and drink water from the sacred Castalia spring. If you are lucky, who knows maybe Pythia’s ancient spirit reveals you the future! Walk around the archaeological site with the unique findings such as the Treasure of the Athenians, the Dome of Athens Foresight, the Temple of Apollo, the ruins of Ancient Stadium and the Theater of Delphi.
Delphi Archaeological Museum
Then, visit the modern archaeological museum of Delphi. The archaeological findings are kept in the museum from the Archaic to the Roman era, with impressive artifacts such as the Iniohos, the Sphinx of the Naxians and the statue of Antinoos. Delphi is not only history as it is also known for the gastronomy. So enjoy a gastronomy break with delicious homemade greek foodies.
Arachova
We depart to Athens at around 15:00 making a stop in the beautiful village of Arachova to capture the enchanting landscape. Arachova is located right on the foothills of Mount Parnassus and is a very famous winter resort for the habitants of central Greece. We are back at about 17:30 at the Smart-Eco-Pickup of AMMON EXPRESS, the Halandri metro Station. Join us and feel like being with a friend who is excited to show you around like a Greek!

Great experience!
I’m so glad that I chose this tour. Aggelos was a fantastic guide on the ride there and back, and I appreciated that we had the opportunity to explore the site on our own.

Amazing trip to Delphi & Arachova
Alex was an amazing guide! This was a small group of 8 people in an 8 seater mercedes. In terms of value for money this was incredible, and whilst it didnt include entrance fees to the museum or the archaeological site it didnt matter. Both extras are 20 euros each. We were very lucky in that the small group got on well and enjoyed a lunch together after the museum in the village of Arachova. We were picked up at 8am, and returned around 6pm. Thanks again for the wonderful Alex! I thoroughly recommend him.

We had a good time on this day trip. Very nice guide and lots of time at each stop to explore. Nothing negative to say.
S
Excellent!
This was an ideal tour guide experience for us. The guide used the long drive to share history and details of Delphi. Our guide was a history major. We felt informed when we arrived, and then we were left to tour the site at our leisure. Perfect for us! Our guide also made bathroom stops available, recommended good places to eat, and made sure we got appropriate tickets to the site. Highly recommend.
