- Delphi - Begin your day intelligently and enjoy a more relaxed, well-paced experience in a small group from our central meeting point at Platia Karaiskaki. Depart Athens with a friendly trip attendant (archaeologist) by bus from Platia Karaiskaki and arrive at Delphi, nestled between two terraced rocks, the Fedriades. Delphi is regarded as the “navel of the earth” and the center of wisdom in ancient Greek civilization. It was the most sacred site of ancient Greece, hosting the Oracle of Delphi with the priory of the Olympian god Apollo, Pythia, who conveyed the god’s predictions to humans. Explore the Oracle of Delphi and drink from the sacred Castalia spring. If you’re fortunate, perhaps Pythia’s ancient spirit will reveal the future to you! Stroll around the archaeological site with its unique discoveries such as the Treasure of the Athenians, the Dome of Athens Foresight, the Temple of Apollo, the ruins of the Ancient Stadium, and the Theater of Delphi.
- Delphi Archaeological Museum - Next, visit the modern archaeological museum of Delphi. The museum houses archaeological findings from the Archaic to the Roman era, featuring impressive artifacts such as the Iniohos, the Sphinx of the Naxians, and the statue of Antinoos. Delphi is not only about history; it is also renowned for its gastronomy. So, enjoy a culinary break with delicious homemade Greek delicacies.
- Arachova - We depart for Athens around 15:00, making a stop in the charming village of Arachova to capture the captivating landscape. Arachova is situated right at the foothills of Mount Parnassus and is a very popular winter resort for the residents of central Greece.
We return at approximately 17:30 to the Smart-Eco-Pickup of AMMON EXPRESS, the Halandri metro Station.
Join us and feel like you’re with a friend who is eager to show you around like a Greek!

Wonderful Day Trip from Athens - Wonderful full day at Delphi and Arachova. Our guide Chrissa was a wealth of information and an exceptional driver. Delphi was spectacular with its ancient history and exceptional scenery. We were free to meander the grounds at our own pace with a free audio guide provided by Chrissa. Arachova is a sweet little mountain town where we had a tasty lunch and visited some of the local shops. Highly recommend this full day tour.

A lot of walking on... - A lot of walking on uneven terrain but lots of fun. Far away from the city in nature. While there’s not a ton left it’s still worth the trip especially if you enjoy history.

Great excursion from Athens to Delphi at a good price - We were picked up by Apostolis on time and close to our hotel. We were a small group. Tolis is very well educated in Greek history and gave us useful and interesting information on the drive to Delphi.
He took very good care of us, stopping on the way for a coffee/WC. Arriving at Delphi he gave us good information where to visit and acquire tickets etc.
We found the pick up point after the tour easily and had a interesting stop for lunch and shopping in a charming village. I would myself would have preferred a little more time in Delphi and a little less in the village.
Tolis did all the work of the drive home and we had had a relaxing day out. Thank you.

Great time for Independent Travelers - Elia was our tour guide during this trip and she was wonderful. She taught us all about Delphi on the way, and drove wonderfully despite that we had many detours due to strikes.
You do have to purchase your ticket at Delphi, but I enjoyed the independence of touring both that and Arachova on our own rather than having to follow someone around. They do offer an audio guide as well.
