Private Delphi Day Trip from Athens with Arachova & Hosios Loukas

Description

Stand where the ancient Greeks came to hear the Oracle of Apollo. This private day trip takes you to Delphi, the "navel of the world", plus two highlights most tours skip: the mountain village of Arachova and the Byzantine Monastery of Hosios Loukas. Your English-speaking driver picks you up from your Athens hotel, apartment or the Piraeus cruise port in an air-conditioned Mercedes with Wi-Fi and bottled water. At Delphi you have about three hours to walk the Sacred Way to the Temple of Apollo, see the Tholos of Athena Pronaia and meet the famous bronze Charioteer in the Delphi Museum. Then enjoy free time in stone-built Arachova on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, and visit Hosios Loukas, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its golden mosaics. Just your group, at your own pace. Drivers don't guide inside the sites. Licensed guides are optional, available upon request for an additional fee, and subject to availability.
