A full day tour to Delphi begins by driving through the countryside on the way to Thebes with its acres of cotton fields. According to Greek mythology this is where the famous hero Hercules was born.
The next stop on your tour is the spring of Krias in Levadia. Here is where the mysterious oracle, Trophonious performed. We drive on and take a break for a snack - creamy yogurt with honey and homemade tiropita (cheese pie) will hit the spot in Zemeno before we reach Arahova.
The scenic village of Arahova, found on the mountainside, is famous for its handmade carpets and rugs. After Arahova we will arrive in Delphi. Ancient Delphi once was believed to be the very center of the universe. There you will meet ancient Greece by visiting the Sanctuary of Apollo Pythios and the Museum, Castalia Spring and the Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia.
Enjoy a meal at a typical taverna before returning to Athens in the evening.
I am NOT a licensed guide and therefore am not allowed to go into the sites or museums with you. |
