    Everything was great, even though the farmers' strike made the journey a little longer. Simon was fantastic, especially his good humor and explanations. Both he and the driver did their best to make the whole experience enjoyable. The place is incredible. You do need to dress warmly, though. We didn't get to see the Temple of Athena, but it's closed to visitors due to a landslide.

Delphi Day Trip

At the designated time, we'll meet at Athanasiou Diakounumber 26, to head to Delphi, a fascinating town declared a UNESCO World Heritage site and home to the world-famous Temple of Apollo.

On the way, we'll drive past the hilly region of Boeotia and the city of Thebes, a major site in Greek mythology, without stopping. The tour also includes a brief stop at Livadeia for a quick break to get a coffee or go to the toilet.

After a journey from Athens of about 3 hours, we'll arrive in Delphi, known in antiquity as the center of the world. Once here, we’ll spend 2.5 hours visiting the Monument to the Argos Kings, the Athenian Treasury and the famous Temple of Apollo. Next, we'll marvel at the masterpieces housed in the Delphi Archaeological Museum, including the impressive Charioteer of Delphi.

Then, you'll have 1.5 hours of free time to eat a delicious traditional Greek lunch at a family-run restaurant (optional). Afterwards, we'll return to Athens.

We'll conclude this day trip by returning to the meeting point, where we'll arrive 10 hours after pickup.
