Highlights
  • Leonidas Monument - Stop at the battlefield of Thermopylae, where the Battle of Thermopylae was fought between an alliance of Ancient Greek city-states, led by King Leonidas I of Sparta, and the Achaemenid Empire of Xerxes I. It was fought in 480 BC over the course of three days, during the second Persian invasion of Greece. Marvel the Leonidas monument that was erected in 1955 and created by the sculptor Vasos Falireas. The brass sculpture of the Spartan King with his spear and shield is truly amazing. Next to the monument of Leonidas, lies the information center of Thermopyale battle in which you can watch a very informative video of about 10 minutes.

Additional Information

Embark on a journey from Athens in a private high-class vehicle or a mini-van, driving through the lush valley of Boeotia and passing Thebes, a city famous for the tragic tale of King Oedipus. Get to Thermopylae and admire the scene and King Leonidas’ monument. Traverse the scenic towns of Livadeia and Arachova located on the arms of Mount Parnassus.

When you reach Delphi, tour the site called ‘Omphalos’ or the ‘World’s Center’ and be in awe of the remnants of a historical sanctuary that prospered as the home of the oracle. Take a moment to soak in the scene of unmatched grandeur.

Witness the residue of Apollo Pythios’ Sanctuary, and tour the Treasury of the Athenians. Afterwards, your private chauffeur will suggest a top-notch restaurant for a pleasant meal with a view of the sea and the lush valley of olive trees. On your way back, take a break in Arachova to refresh yourself with a cup of coffee, a snack, tea or wine.

Highly highly Recommend - We had an amazing trip to Delphi and Thermopylae. Our driver George was fantastic. Extremely well read, articulate and amusing. My 14 year old was captivated by his stories. Delphi is gorgeous. So much history. Also Thermopylae, while not as visited as Delphi was very interesting. The sulphuric hot springs are a great spot. The trip was easygoing and George was very thoughtful keeping our needs in mind. We’re huge animal lovers and loved that George brought bread with him to feed one of his stray dog friends at Thermopylae. Highly recommend Crispy Local and George. You will not be disappointed.

Oracle of Delphi - My guide for the tour was Mr Yannis. The drive was smooth. Loved the countryside and the views. On the route I was told the story about the Oracle on Delphi and many other historical as well as Greek mythological facts. Even though the tour was booked on a very short notice, everything was arranged perfectly. The pickup was right on time as per the plan. I was left for exploring the archaeological site as per my convenience. There was no time limit for spending time at the sites/museums. The trip ends with lunch at a restaurant curated by the team. Crispylocal is truly recommended for those who love to spend their time at sites as per their own convenience since all the tours are 100% customisable and private.
