   10 min

2. DELPHI ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE Inset on wide terraces along the hillside we are fortunate that the landslides of previous centuries preserved much of the ancient remains for us, including the Castilian spring of Mythology, Ancient theater, treasury buildings, temples of Athena and Gymnasium where athletes gathered before the Pythian games to bathe in the sacred waters. During your visit to Delphi, you can still see the physical structures associated with this incredibly long history including the 4th century BC temple of Apollo, the epicenter of the mystical ceremony from where the Oracle spoke her prophecies.

DELPHI ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM A beautiful addition to the site is the modern museum which displays finds stretching back in time to at least 1500 BC, including many of the sculptures & other unique pieces that adorned the temples & streets of the ancient city at its peak around the 4th century BC.

The ancient city of Crissa hosted the visitors of the oracle and following the footsteps of ancient pilgrims, we continue our tour in the heart of the famous Crisaean olive grove. We will enjoy the unique scenery, οbserve the silver-green foliage of the olive trees changing colors depending on the time of the day and admire the naturally carved trunks of impressive centennial trees. We will savor a delicious olive snack in the shade of an old chapel and learn how olives are cultivated and why the olive tree is a worldwide symbol of immortality, wisdom and abundance.

French Archeologists have called the valley “La Mer des Oliviers”, “The Sea of Olive Trees” with many over 1000 years old and a History of Cultivation stretching much further back in time. The valley is nowadays protected and listed as a worldwide unique landscape by UNESCO. Meet our Local Guide who will explain all about olive culture and the transformation process to edible olives & olive oil.

About Atenas

Atenas ergue a Acrópole sobre uma moderna capital extensa, onde ruínas antigas, ruelas nas encostas e longas noites de taberna convivem lado a lado.

O Pártenon coroa a Acrópole, ladeado pelo Erecteion e pelo seu pórtico das cariátides, e o Museu da Acrópole, ao sopé da colina, expõe as esculturas encontradas no rochedo. Em redor, a Ágora antiga, o Templo de Zeus Olímpico, o Arco de Adriano e o estádio Panatenaico de mármore tornam fácil percorrer a pé a cidade clássica.
