Delphi tour

Información

For sheer grandeur of natural beauty combined with ancient ruins, there is probably no other spot on earth that rivals Delphi. In antiquity, it was one of the world's most important religious centers -the Sanctuary of Apollo attracted a host of pilgrims who came to consult the oracle. Even now an aura of mystery surrounds the ruins of Delphi, exposed on a rocky slope.

See the ancient sanctuary, where the celebrated oracle Pythia dwelt. Her ambiguous prophecies were known and respected all over the ancient world. Visit the Temple of Apollo, the Treasury of Athenians, the Sacred Way, the theater with its excellent acoustics and pass by the Castalian spring, where in ancient days the pilgrims had to wash before they were allowed to consult the oracle.

In the Delphi Museum, you will see such treasures as the Omphalos, which marked the center of the world, and the magnificent bronze Charioteer, one of the finest pieces surviving from the 5th century BC. Then we suggest you to enjoy a typical Greek luncheon at a nearby village before start your return journey back.
