Il programma nel dettaglio
Legend says that Zeus, father of Gods and men, released two eagles, each heading in the opposite direction, only to meet at the spot of ancient Delphi. On a full day, private tour, experience this ancient world, on the enchanting slopes of Mount Parnassus. In small groups, you'll get an intimate look at Delphi, once considered the centre of the world.
With the day at your disposal, explore what Delphi has to offer. Visit the Sanctuary of Apollo, the most important temple of the archaeological site, constructed to honour Apollo for establishing the oracle of Delphi. Be awed by the surrounding landscapes, as it's one of the most breathtaking in all of Greece. Situated on the slope of the mountain, you'll enjoy the view of the entire valley below stretching all the way to the Gulf of Corinth. Make your way to the modern village of Delphi, a quiet and relaxing environment with traditional buildings and churches, fabulous cafes and taverns. Choose to have some free time to roam the shops or grab a bite to eat in Delphi or nearby Arachova, a picturesque mountain village known for hand-woven carpets, rugs, and quilts and delicious wine and cheese. After a full day of touring, relax and soak in the sights as you head back to Athens.
Delphi, a place where ancient times merge with the present, will captivate you with natural beauty and history, and will leave you with memories of a wonderful day.
