Description:

Step into Greek mythology and hear the tales about Delphi, once considered the center of the world. Admire Apollo’s temple and its famous Oracle, visit the archaeological museum, and take in the magnificent mountainous landscape of Arachova—a picturesque village set at the foot of Mt. Parnassus.

Moving away from Athens, sit back and gaze at the colorful landscape of Beotia and Theva—birthplace of King Oedipus. According to Greek mythology, Delphi is the place where Zeus’ eagles clashed after flying from the end of the universe in search of the “navel of the world,” and so Delphi was built. The site is dotted with world-famous ruins, temples, and museums. Listen to your guide as they narrate myths and legends from the Greek gods, and immerse yourself in the history and culture of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Pass by the Castalia Spring, and admire the many unique archaeological finds at Delphi’s museum. See the Temple of Apollo, famous for its Oracle, and the monument of the Argive Kings, the treasury of the Athenians. As you return to Athens, stop in Arachova, located on the southern slopes of Parnassus, a ski lover’s destination also known for its hand-woven carpets, quilts, wine, and cheese.
