Central Greece Tours

Tour Description

Journey into the heart of ancient Greece with a visit to the oracle of Delphi, once considered the very navel of the world. Nestled on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, this UNESCO World Heritage Site offers a powerful blend of natural beauty and mythological richness.

In antiquity, pilgrims from across the Greek world traveled here to seek guidance from Apollo, god of music and poetry, who was believed to channel prophetic words through the high priestess Pythia. Even today, the site retains its aura of mystery and spiritual significance.

As you explore the archaeological site, you’ll encounter iconic landmarks such as the Athenian Treasury, the Temple of Apollo, the ancient theater, the Roman stadium, the polygonal wall, the Portico of the Athenians, and the Temple of Athena Pronaia. The tour continues at the Delphi Archaeological Museum, which houses an extraordinary collection of artifacts unearthed from the site. Highlights include the renowned bronze Charioteer of Delphi—a masterpiece of classical sculpture—and the exquisite gold and ivory statues of Apollo and his sister Artemis.

Following the visit, enjoy a leisurely lunch in the picturesque village of Delphi, where traditional Greek flavors and mountain views create a memorable dining experience. On the way back, we’ll make a short stop in the charming village of Arachova—famous for its stone-built houses and colorful textiles—perfect for a few photos and a taste of local life.

Whether you’re drawn by history, mythology, or the sheer beauty of the setting, a visit to Delphi promises an unforgettable encounter with the soul of classical Greece.
