Useful Information
Delphi, Greece
After meeting your guide in Athens, hear tales about the ancient Greeks and their lives in Delphi while traveling to the town by luxury minivan. Pass through the towns of Levadia and Arachova – both famous for their production of brightly colored carpets – and arrive in Delphi around midday.
First stop is a tour of the Delphi archeological site – a UNESCO World Heritage Site and easily one of the most important digs in Europe. As you walk around the evocative ruins with your guide, see famous monuments like the Sanctuary of Athena.
Head inside Delphi Archeological Museum and explore this veritable treasure trove at leisure. Home to countless artifacts and intriguing relics, the museum consists of 15 rooms arranged in chronological order from 15th century BC to 4th century AD. Be sure to check out the bronze Charioteer of Delphi and the Sphinx of Naxos.
After eating lunch at a Delphi hotel (own expense), resume your walking tour back inside the archeological site, visiting the must-see Temple of Apollo and passing by the Castalian Spring on Mount Parnassus—where Roman poets were said to come when seeking inspiration.
Your tour returns to Athens in the late afternoon, stopping in Levadia on the way to stretch your legs or grab a coffee (own expense), and driving through the traditional Greek village of Aachova.

The tour was great. Joy our guide was very informative and we felt we learned a lot. Everything ran on time from the hotel pick-up through to the end of the trip. Our group was small and there was a nice mix of free time and being guided. April is a good time to visit Delphi as the weather is sunny but the temperatures are mild. The museum at Delphi houses the original pieces from Delphi and has some unique treasures. The countryside heading into the mountains and passing through a ski village adds to the trip.
