2. Delphi was the cultural and religious heart of the Hellenic world. Set in a stunning landscape, once considered the center of the world, where, according to mythology, two eagles sent by Zeus to find the navel of the world, met. The site, once sacred to Mother Earth and guarded by the serpent Python, later became Apollo’s sanctuary, built by Cretans arriving at Kirrha (the port of Delphi) accompanied by the god in the form of a dolphin. Such myths were celebrated in the Delphic festivals, like the Pythia and the Delphinia, with music and athletic competitions. Explore unique monuments such as the Treasury of the Athenians, the Temple of Apollo, the Athenian Stoa, and the Polygonal Wall with our expert guide, ensuring you don’t miss a thing.

• 5We enjoyed this trip to...

  We enjoyed this trip to Delphi. It was a hot day, but we were able to walk from place to place up the side of the hill and stopped in the shade. Our guide was knowledgeable and told us all the history of Delphi and the town of Arachova. We enjoyed the lunch that was included with the package we purchased. Good food with large portions.

• 3Great visit to Delphi, but a bit to rushed

  Delphi is great, the views are amazing and rhe site is full of history. The museum is nice as well. And the town of Arachova is nice to visit. Also the bus ride was very confortable and the host was good in terms of knowledge and a a sense of humour. But in total the whole trip is quite unbalanced. Time on the Delphi site is way to short and feels very rushed. The time in the museum was longer than at the site.

• 5Great Delphi tour

  This tour to Delphi was fabulous. Our guide Angela was very informative and engaging. The museum and site are very good. The stories/legends are entertaining and the location of the site up in the mountains makes it specular. It is a long day, but worth it.

• 5Highly recommended, great day out

  I absolutely loved this experience. It was my first day in Greece and was picked up in a great bus with aircon. We stopped at a station were there was a great cafe and gift shop then continued to the museum and ruins which was just spectacular, followed by optional lunch which was also fantastic. I would do this tour again! Long full day but absolutely worth it!

About Athens

Athens sets the Acropolis above a sprawling modern capital, where ancient ruins, hillside lanes and long taverna evenings sit side by side.

The Parthenon crowns the Acropolis, flanked by the Erechtheion and its porch of caryatids, and the Acropolis Museum at the foot of the hill displays sculpture found on the rock. Around it, the Ancient Agora, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hadrian's Arch and the marble Panathenaic Stadium make the classical city easy to walk through.
