Spiritual Delphi & Thermopylae Battlefield Private Full Day Tour

Our driver will pick you up from your accommodation and we will drive towards Delphi and Thermopylae. Estimate a 2 hours drive

Stop at the battlefield of Thermopylae, where the Battle of Thermopylae was fought between an alliance of Ancient Greek city-states, led by King Leonidas I of Sparta, and the Achaemenid Empire of Xerxes I. It was fought in 480 BC over the course of three days, during the second Persian invasion of Greece. Marvel the Leonidas monument that was erected in 1955 and created by the sculptor Vasos Falireas. The brass sculpture of the Spartan King with his spear and shield is truly amazing. Next to the monument of Leonidas, lies the information center of Thermopyale battle in which you can watch a very informative video of about 10 minutes.

Once in Delphi, head to the UNESCO-listed mountainside archaeological site, one of Greece’s most significant. Next, tour the ruins and shed light on the site’s oracle, an ancient priestess who conveyed messages from the god Apollo. Admire the Temple of Apollo and other monuments, and then visit the Archaeological Museum to view its artifacts, including the Charioteer of Delphi and Sphinx of Naxos.

Stop at this gorgeous small village and have a great meal. Combine it with local wine and great views of the sea and olive tree groves in the valley.

As we return you can walk and explore this picturesque stone built village and even buy traditional Greek products at the lovely small stores.

Our way back to Athens will last about 2 hours
