Visit Delphi the famous oracle! Explore the mysteries of the ancient world!

Starting from Athens we will be travelling through Sterea Ellada till we reach Delphi. The Region of Central Greece till we reach Delphi. The Region of Central Greece colloquially known as Ρούμελη (Roúmeli)) is one of the thirteen administrative regions of Greece. The region occupies the eastern half of the traditional region of Central Greece, including the island of Euboea. To the south it borders the regions of Attica and the Peloponnese, to the west the region of West Greece and to the north the regions of Thessaly and Epirus. Its capital city is Lamia. It is divided geographically into the East and West, with the natural border between them the southern part of the Pindos mountain range. We will pass by Theves, Livadia, and Arachova. Arrive at Delphi and visit the archaeological site!

Karakolithos - Mnimio Pesonton

It happened on April 25, 1944. The partisans of ELAS (Greek People's Liberation Army), the largest Resistance organization in Greece, had managed to capture 17 German officers on this very road that connects Livadia with the village of Distomo, the site of one of the most heinous Nazi crimes in the country, which was to take place a month and a half later. The ELAS men wrote a letter to the German headquarters in Livadia demanding the release of 32 Greek prisoners. The Nazi response turned to bite them back: within a few hours, the Nazis transported 136 Greek prisoners (the vast majority of them were at the age of their 20s) to Karakolithos and executed them on the spot. This monument was erected for the remembrance of the unjustly executed Greek patriots of that day, in the area of Karakolithos (Black Stone, in Greek). In the monument’s lower section, the metal bodies of the male figures, pierced by bullets, symbolize the foundation on which the Greek Resistance stepped and grew.
