Delphi Day Trip
Day Trip Details
At the designated time, we'll pick you up at the Athens meeting point and set off for Delphi, a fascinating UNESCO World Heritage city home to the world-famous Temple of Apollo.
On the way, we'll pass through Boeotia and Thebes without stopping, and make a brief pause in Livadeia, where you can use the facilities or grab a coffee. After approximately 3 hours from Athens, we'll arrive in Delphi, known in antiquity as "the navel of the world."
Once there, we'll spend 2.5 hours visiting the Monument to the Kings of Argos, the Treasury, and the famous Temple of Apollo. We'll then head into the Archaeological Museum to see its masterpieces, including the celebrated Charioteer of Delphi.
Afterwards, you'll have 1.5 hours of free time for lunch. Refreshed and ready, we'll begin the journey back to Athens, arriving at the meeting point 10 hours after pickup.
