Delphi Private Tour With Stops In Levadia And Arachova

The excavation site rests on the southwestern slope of Mount Parnassus. In ancient Greek religion, it was considered the center of the world and the seat of Pythia, the major oracle. The Sacred Way leads visitors up the hill past the remains of the Athenian Treasury to the Temple of Apollo, where the oracle delivered prophecies. Further up the slope lies the ancient theater, which could seat 5000 spectators, and the stadium used for the Pythian Games. Below the main site is the Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia, famous for the Tholos, a circular structure with Doric columns.

Located directly next to the excavation site, the museum houses the artifacts discovered during the Delphi excavations. The permanent exhibition covers the history of the Delphic sanctuary from the 8th century BC to its decline in Late Antiquity. Prominent exhibits include the Charioteer of Delphi, a rare surviving bronze statue from ancient Greece. Other significant artifacts are the Sphinx of Naxos, the twin kouroi statues known as Kleobis and Biton, and parts of the frieze from the Siphnian Treasury.

After visiting the Delphi archaeological site, we will arrive in the town of Arachova. You will have free time to walk through the town, take photographs, drink coffee, and taste the local cuisine. The location provides scenic mountain views.

On the way to Delphi, our private transfer will make a stop in the town of Levadia. You will have the opportunity to visit the famous Krya Springs. During your free time, you can walk along the Erkyna river, view the small waterfalls, old watermills, and stone bridges. This location provides a calm environment to rest and take photographs before continuing the route.
