Delphi Tour – Explore the Navel of the Ancient World
Step Into Myth and History at Delphi
Perched on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, overlooking the valley of Phocis, Delphi was once considered the center of the world. Ancient Greeks came here to seek wisdom from the Oracle of Apollo — and today, travelers come for the same reason: to feel the power of a place that shaped Western civilization.
A Delphi Tour with Greece Athens Transfers combines world-class history, breathtaking landscapes, and total comfort. Whether you’re a mythology enthusiast, a photographer, or simply a traveler craving authentic Greece, this tour connects you directly with the country’s soul — one myth and mountain view at a time.
What You’ll See on a Delphi Tour
1. The Sanctuary of Apollo
At the heart of Delphi lies the Temple of Apollo, where the Pythia delivered prophecies that shaped kings and empires. The temple’s columns and foundations still stand proudly against the mountain backdrop, reminding visitors of its divine significance.
2. The Ancient Theatre and Stadium
Higher up the slope, you’ll find the Theatre of Delphi, offering sweeping views of the valley below. Continue a bit further and you’ll reach the Stadium, where the ancient Pythian Games — second only to the Olympics — once took place.
3. The Delphi Archaeological Museum
One of Greece’s finest museums, it houses treasures like the Charioteer of Delphi, the Sphinx of Naxos, and delicate offerings left at Apollo’s altar. Each artifact tells part of the story of how faith, art, and politics intertwined in the ancient world.
4. The Tholos of Athena Pronaia
Located just before the main sanctuary, the Tholos is one of Greece’s most photographed ruins — a perfectly circular temple framed by olive groves and cliffs. It’s a symbol of harmony and mystery that still captivates visitors.
5. Arachova Village
Your Delphi private tour often includes a stop at Arachova, a charming mountain town known for its stone houses, local cheeses, and cozy tavernas. It’s a favorite winter destination for Athenians — and the ideal lunch stop after exploring the ruins.
