About this activity

Depart from our terminal for one day trip from Athens, along the way, you will see the plain of Beotia, an agricultural centre and you will also pass by the city of Theva, the birthplace of King Oedipus. Immerse yourself in the myths and monuments of classical Greece on this full-day tour of Delphi from Athens.

As you walk around the evocative ruins with your guide, see famous monuments like the monument of the Argive Kings, the treasury of the Athenians, the Athenian Stoa, the Polygonal Wall, the monument of Platea and the Temple of Apollo famous for its oracle.

The second stop is Delphi museum, with its spectacular exhibits include the frieze of the Treasury of the Sifnians, the Naxian Sphinx, the Statue of Antinoos the metopes of the Athenian treasury, the famous bronze Charioteer, originally created to commemorate a victory during the 476 B.C. Pythian Games, and many other artefacts. Be sure to check out the bronze Charioteer of Delphi and the Sphinx of Naxos.

After the lunch break, visit Athena Pronaia Sanctuary, the most photographed spot in Delphi.
