Departing from Athens, we’ll pass through Levadia and Arachova, which are famous for its bright multi-coloured carpets, on the route to Delphi.
The tour then continues on to the impressive archaeological site of Delphi which is situated at the foot of the mountain Parnasos. Delphi, the sanctuary of Apollo, offers the most amazing views of the olive groves of Amphissa, the Corinthian Gulf, and the Pelopennese mountains. The Sanctuary of Apollo was once considered the most important sacred site in the Greek world.
Next up is a visit to the DELPHI MUSEUM which houses the famous bronze statue Charioteer and the statue of Antinoos. From there you will take the sacred way to the Athenian treasury followed by a chance to visit the unforgettable Temple of Apollo, where the masses flocked to consult the oracle. This ancient site, backed by the imposing Mount Parnassus, is situated in one of the most beautiful natural settings in Greece.
After the visit in the ancient site travellers will taste local dishes in a traditional Greek restaurant in Delphi, with amazing view, to Corinthian Golf.
As soon as you finish lunch, last stop on our way to Athens will be Hosios Loukas Monastery. This amazing rocky monastery is a unique UNECSO monument and a masterpiece of the Middle-byzantine times, that everybody should see!!!
