What to expect

Delve into the ancient treasures of Delphi and Thebes on this full-day tour. And both are just a short drive from Athens. You'll visit these well-preserved archaeological sites before an afternoon exploring the charming mountain villages of Levadia and Arachova.

First, we'll journey through the fertile plain of Beotia, crossing the town of Thebes, home of the mythical King Oedipus. Then it's on to Delphi, considered the centre of ancient world. Its prestige extended far beyond the boundaries of Hellenic civilisation. Tour the ruins of the Sanctuary of Apollo Pythios, set beautifully on the slopes of towering Mt Parnassus. There's also an option to include lunch here.

You'll also visit the Treasury of the Athenians and the Temple of Apollo as well as enjoy time in the museum. Here, you'll get to see masterpieces of ancient Greek sculpture such as the bronze Charioteer and the famous athlete Aghias. After lunch in the modern village of Delphi, we'll stop off at the quaint villages of Levadia and Arachova.

    The lunch never specified what it was, I couldn't find anywhere to contact and the guide didn't know either. Ove got a egg allergy and my partner dairy so we couldn't eat most of the food. The trip itself was good, the guide was helpful but most of the journey is the drive.

    We hadden een excursie naar Delphi geboekt met een engelstalige gids. Die was er ook , maar er was tegelijkertijd ook een franstalige groep aanwezig en die deed ze er even bij. Hierdoor gingen de gesprekken vlot van het engels over in het frans hetgeen niet de duidelijkheid ten goede kwam. Buiten dit voorval was de excursie geweldig. Het is een lange busrit, maar je krijgt er wel wat moois voor te zien.

    Das Programm war ausgewogen. Unterhaltsame Informationen zur Geschichte und Mythologie während der langen Busfahrt nach Delfi, vor Ort neben dem Tourprogramm viel Zeit für eigene Erkundungen. Mittagspause in angenehmer, freundlicher Athmosphaere, inbegriffenes Mittagessen reichlich und gut. Restaurant war eine gute Wahl. Sehr schöner Ausflugstag (11 Stunden) ohne Stress.

    De gids was zeer kundig en heeft het museum en de archeologische site voor ons tot leven gebracht. De lunch was goed en de korte stop in Arachova was leuk, al liepen wij direct door naar de brug en zicht op het klokkentorentje ipv de winkel binnen te gaan waar we werden afgezet.
