Description
Description of the shared bus tour to Delphi
You will travel through the fertile plain of Beotia, crossing important towns of ancient and modern Greece such as Thebes, known as a military city-state of the past, or through the tragic plays of King Oedipus and Antigone.
We will also cross Levadia and Arachova before we will arrive at Delphi, the sanctuary of God Apollo and the occult center of the Ancient World, or the Navel of the Earth, as it was known in ancient times.
During your visit and sightseeing tour in Delphi, you will visit the Archaeological Museum of Delphi, containing significant masterpieces of ancient Greek sculpture, such as the famous bronze Charioteer, the statue of athlete Aghias, the Naxian Sphynx, and the twin Brothers.
Feel the mystic aura of the area in the Temple of Apollo, where Oracle Pythia was giving out her predictions of the future to the people flocking to Delphi from every part of the – then – known world.
Experience and see the Castalia spring with the two monumental fountains receiving water from the spring for the last 3000 years, and share the secret of eternal youth hidden in the freshness of its waters.
Arachova
After lunch, we will visit the traditional Greek village of Arachova, known for its famous handmade carpets and quilts.
Arachova is one of the most picturesque mountain villages in Greece; set at the feet of Mt Parnassus it is the center of attention in the winter months, due to the ski center. It is also known due to the local products, cheese, pasta, and wood products, which you can buy and bring home with you.
After a short stop here, we will continue the tour passing through the towns of Levadia and Thebes, arriving in Athens in the afternoon.
N.B. Clients staying at the coast will depart for their hotels from our terminal around 19.30 hrs.
