Pass by Castalia Spring, visit the archaeological site, the Temple of Apollo, Athenian Treasure and the Museum of Delphi with its spectacular finds, including the unique bronze Charioteer, the Naxian Sphinx and the statue of Antinous. After a lunch break, visit Athena Pronaia Sanctuary, the most photographed spot in Delphi. Finally, you will have a short photo stop at Arachova before returning to Athens.

Delphi is the second-most important archaeological site in Greece and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Sanctuary of Delphi, set within a most spectacular landscape, was for many centuries the most trusted oracle in the ancient world from which the spirit of Apollo gave advice on everything from domestic matters to wars. To the northwest of the sanctuary of Athena Pronaia lay the gymnasium, a place that was used for exercise and learning, the palaestra and the baths. The central, most important part of the site is the sanctuary of Apollo. The stadium of Delphi is one of the best-preserved monuments of its kind. It is situated in the highest part of the ancient city. The Museum of Delphi also has some amazing findings from the area, the most famous being the Omphalos, the statue "The Charioteer" and the two sculptures of Cleobis and Biton.

Expect mostly warm weather in Greece during the day and cooler at night. For day trips, comfortable walking shoes, sunglasses, hat and loose fitted clothing are strongly recommended. The site of Delphi is perched on the side of a hill. All visitors are rewarded with a beautiful view over the site and the valley beyond.
