Details of the Day Trip
We'll begin our journey at the designated meeting point in Athens, departing for Delphi, a captivating UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for the illustrious Temple of Apollo.
During our trip, we'll travel through Boeotia and Thebes without making any stops, except for a short break in Livadeia, where you'll have the option to refresh yourself or enjoy a coffee. After about 3 hours on the road, we will reach Delphi, often referred to in ancient times as "the navel of the world."
Upon arrival, a guided exploration of 2.5 hours awaits you, including the Monument to the Kings of Argos, the Treasury, and the iconic Temple of Apollo. Our visit will also include an excursion to the Archaeological Museum, featuring its remarkable artifacts like the famous Charioteer of Delphi.
After this enriching experience, you'll have 1.5 hours of free time for lunch. Once rejuvenated, we will return to Athens, arriving back at the meeting point approximately 10 hours after departure.
