About this activity
Spend a full day exploring ancient Delphi's archaeological wonders and its world-class museum, then experience the charm of mountain village Arachova with its traditional taverna lunch overlooking the Itea valley. This private tour from Athens combines mythological significance—home to the Oracle of Apollo and the Navel of the Earth—with intimate access to treasures like the bronze Charioteer statue and Naxian Sphinx.
Visit the breathtaking sites in Delphi and learn the rich history of Castalia Spring, the archaeological site and the Theatre, the Athenian Treasury, the Temple of Apollo famous for its oracle Pythia, the Navel of the Earth.
Explore the Museum of Delphi, with its spectacular collection of artifacts, including the Naxian Sphinx, the unique bronze Charioteer and the Statue of Antinoos.
Enjoy your traditional “village style” lunch on the magnificent Caldera at Delphi, overlooking fabulous Itea.

Insider tips
- ★Arrive early at the archaeological site to beat crowds and enjoy better light for photos of the Temple of Apollo and Theatre
- ★The Museum merits 45+ minutes—the Charioteer and Sphinx are highlights, but the entire collection reflects Greece's Classical zenith
- ★Arachova's winding stone streets hide family-run tavernas; ask your guide for recommendations beyond the main square
- ★Wear comfortable walking shoes; the site involves substantial uphill paths and uneven ancient stonework
