Description
No trip to Greece is complete until you have explored the beautiful and serene enclave of Delphi. After being picked up from your hotel, you’ll begin the scenic 180 km drive through mountains and valleys, enjoying sensational views of the Greek countryside. Upon arriving in Delphi, you’ll enter the UNESCO World Heritage Site, to explore these stunning ruins. During your day tour, follow in their footsteps and discover for yourself the iconic monuments of antiquity dedicated to the mighty Greek gods and goddesses: the temples of Apollo and Athena Pronea – whose circular structure is the most recognisable of all Delphi’s ruins. Your tour will continue inside the Delphi museum, where you’ll come face to face with the piercing gaze of the famed Charioteer of Delphi, and other archaeological wonders. After stopping for lunch in the picturesque village of Arachova, carved into a hillside along the Saronic coast, your day will finish with a peaceful drive back to Athens.
