Description - What to expect

Your full-day Delphi day trip from Athens starts with a pick-up from your hotel or other designated point in the Athens area and a drive on the motorway towards Lamia. Your first stop is at the historic battlefield of Thermopylae and the actual place where Leonidas from Sparta with his 300 brave warriors fought the invading Persians. Visit the impressive statue of Leonidas and Thermopylae's museum where you can see the reenactment of the battle of Thermopylae in 3D.

At the foot of Mount Parnassos, lies the Pan-Hellenic sanctuary of Delphi, the most famous oracle of ancient Greece. Delphi was regarded as the "navel" of the world. According to mythology, it is here that the two eagles sent out by Zeus to find the navel of the world met. Delphi was for many centuries the cultural and religious center of the Hellenic world and the seat of the Pythian Games, the second most important games in Greece after the Olympics, which were held every four years.

Admire the Castalia Spring, visit the archaeological site and see the Theatre, the Athenian Treasury, the Temple of Apollo famous for its oracle Pythia, and the Navel of the Earth. You will have time to visit the Museum of Delphi with its spectacular collection of artifacts, including the Naxian Sphinx, the unique bronze Charioteer, and the Statue of Antinoos.

Before you start your journey back to Athens visit the picturesque town of Arahova to admire its traditional mansions and enjoy a delicious lunch at a local family-run taverna serving authentic Greek food.
