The first point of interest of the tour is the Delphi archaeological site – a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important digs in Europe. Skip the lines and walk around the evocative ruins with your guide, admire monuments like the Argive Kings, the Athenian Stoa, the Polygonal Wall, and the Temple of Apollo famous for its oracle. Next stop is Delphi museum, where you will see the Treasury of the Sifnians, the Naxian Sphinx, the Statue of Antinoos the metopes of the Athenian treasury, and the famous bronze Charioteer.
Following your exploration of Delphi, head to the charming village of Arachova, beautifully situated on the slopes of Mount Parnassus. Spend some time wandering its delightful streets, admiring the traditional stone houses and breathtaking views. Enjoy a relaxing lunch at a local taverna, and take the opportunity to explore the quaint shops offering handmade textiles, local cheeses, and other authentic regional products before making your way back to Athens.
