- Livadia - Livadeia is a town located in central Greece and serves as the capital of the Boeotia regional district. The surrounding area is predominantly mountainous, with agriculture primarily taking place in the valleys.

- Monastery of Hosios Loukas - As you ascend the slopes of Mt. Parnassos towards the archaeological site of Delphi, you will encounter the villages of Distomo and Styri. Approximately 13 km before reaching the town of Arachova, you will find one of the Mediterranean’s most remarkable monuments: the Monastery of Hosios Loukas. In a timeless landscape, two stunning Byzantine churches stand, adorned with frescoes and mosaics featuring a distinctive golden background from the 10th - 11th century AD. The monastery’s Byzantine grandeur, still operational today, was recently unveiled through a successful restoration project. Established around the mid-10th century AD by the monk Loukas from Styri, the monastery houses his relics in the Katholicon (main church). These relics were taken by the Crusaders in the 13th century AD and kept in the Vatican for centuries before being returned.
- Delphi - The ancient Greeks regarded Delphi as the Navel of the Earth, a spiritual center for all Greeks, featuring numerous sanctuaries and the most esteemed oracle in ancient Greece. Here, Pythia, the high priestess, conveyed the divine guidance of the god Apollo to mortals who traveled from afar seeking prophecy. Besides Greeks, foreign leaders and dignitaries also visited the Oracle, eager to learn Apollo’s will on significant state matters. According to mythology, it was here that the two eagles sent by Zeus from the universe’s ends met to find the world’s navel. The sanctuary of Delphi, set in a breathtaking landscape, was for many centuries the cultural and religious hub and a symbol of unity for the Hellenic world.
- Delphi Archaeological Museum - The Archaeological Museum of Delphi is among the most visited museums in Greece. Established in 1903, it is managed by the Greek Ministry of Culture. The museum showcases significant discoveries, primarily from the sanctuary of Delphi. The exhibits are organized in fourteen rooms in chronological order. The oldest items are displayed in the first two rooms, dating back to the late Geometric and early Archaic periods. Notable exhibits include the Charioteer of Delphi, the frieze of the Siphnian Treasury, the Sphinx of Naxos, chryselephantine sculptures, inscriptions, bronze figurines, and bronze votive offerings.
- Temple of Apollo - The archaic Temple of Apollo was built in 510 B.C. with funds raised by numerous Greek cities under the leadership of the Alcmaeonids of Athens. After an earthquake destroyed this temple in 373 B.C., Greek cities once again pooled resources to construct the existing temple, completed around 330 B.C. It was a Doric peripteral temple with a vestibule and an opisthodomos distyle in antis. Inside the cella was the statue of the god and the omphalos (navel of the earth), while the vestibule bore the Delphic maxims of the seven wise men of Ancient Greece. According to legend, the first Temple of Apollo was a hut made of laurel tree branches, the second of wax and bees’ feathers, the third of bronze, and the fourth (the only one that actually existed) of poros stone. This temple was destroyed around the mid-6th century B.C.
