Description:

Spend a day exploring some of the most important archaeological sites of Greek history in Delphi. Hear famous myths and legends from your guide, see where the Oracle spoke in the Temple of Apollo, and visit the sacred waters of the Castalian Spring.

Begin your day with convenient hotel pickup and head toward Delphi. On your way, pause at the Castalian Spring. Castalia was a nymph transformed by Apollo into a fountain, according to ancient mythology, and those who drank of her waters could be inspired to create divine poetry.

Continue to the center of the ancient Greek world, the imposing site of Delphi. Admire the monument of the Argive kings, the Stoa of the Athenians, the Polygonal Wall, and the Temple of Apollo—famous for the Oracle as well as its renowned theater.

Then head to the Delphi Archaeological Museum. Follow your guide and explore the many ancient artifacts found within. You can even pause to admire relics from the ancient Oracle which represent the centerpiece of this extraordinary museum.

Travel to your next stop, the picturesque village on a mountain, Arachova. This stunning village is perched on the southern slopes of Parnassus. Stroll through the town and marvel at its attractive hand-woven carpets, rugs, and quilts. Stop for lunch and perhaps try their famous local wine and cheese.
