Overview of your Athens tour:

During this unique tour, you'll visit two of the most important sites of Greece. DELPHI, dive into the myths and legends of the site, which for the ancients was the center of the world, the so-called Navel of the Earth. The location where God Apollo prophesized. At the Museum, you will admire -among other exhibits-the bronze statues of "Charioteer" and the chryselephantine head of Apollo. At the site, you walk the Sacred Path on the way up to the Temple Of Apollo. The path is lined with countless votive statues and "Treasures" from Greek cities. To the northwest, the Theatre is located, and from there a path climbs up to the Stadium of Delphi, the best preserved in Greece. Next destination is OLYMPIA the cradle of OLYMPIC GAMES, the sanctuary of God Zeus. At this idyllic location, the Olympic Games were held in his honor. There, several monuments can be seen, such as the Temple of Zeus, which housed one the Seven Wonders, the Stadium, and the work shop of Pheidias. A visit to the Museum is also included.
