2. At midday, stare in amazement as your coach arrives at the foot of Mt Parnassos where the sanctuary of Delphi lies. The sanctuary, known as the Temple of Apollo, served as the site for the worship of the god Apollo after he was said to have slain a dragon who lived there. As you walk around the UNESCO-listed archaeological site with your guide, pass by Castalia Spring and see famous monuments such as the Athenian Treasury, the theater and the Sacred Way that, in ancient times, was lined with treasuries and statues that were gifted by city states to honor Apollo and to demonstrate their stature and wealth.

3. Next, head inside Delphi Archeological Museum with your guide. This treasure trove consists of 15 rooms that house countless artifacts and awe-inspiring exhibits including the frieze of the Treasury of the Siphnians, the Sphinx of Naxos, the Statue of Antinous and the famous bronze Charioteer of Delphi.

   1 hEntrée incluse

4. After exploring the museum, return to the coach and continue to the scenic mountain village of Arachova. Known for its hand-woven rugs, quilts and carpets, Arachova is also famous for its delicious wine and cheese. Enjoy your time at your leisure, perhaps stopping for a refreshing drink in a cafe or trying out some of the delicious local delicacies at one of the restaurants (own expense).

About Athènes

Athènes dresse l'Acropole au-dessus d'une capitale moderne étendue, où ruines antiques, ruelles en pente et longues soirées en taverne se côtoient.

Le Parthénon couronne l'Acropole, flanqué de l'Érechthéion et de sa tribune des Caryatides, et le musée de l'Acropole, au pied de la colline, présente les sculptures trouvées sur le rocher. Autour, l'Agora antique, le temple de Zeus olympien, l'arc d'Hadrien et le stade panathénaïque en marbre permettent de parcourir facilement la ville classique à pied.
