Battlefield of Thermopylae
The Battlefield of Thermopylae is a site of great historical significance, located in central Greece. It is where the famous Battle of Thermopylae took place in 480 BC, in which a small force of Greek soldiers held off a much larger Persian army for three days. The battlefield is now a popular tourist destination and offers a chance to explore the ruins of the ancient battle and learn about the heroic efforts of the Greek soldiers.
Delphi Archaeological Museum
The pan-Hellenic sanctuary of Delphi, where the oracle of Apollo spoke, was the site of the omphalos, the 'navel of the world'. Blending harmoniously with the superb landscape and charged with sacred meaning, Delphi in the 6th century B.C. was indeed the religious center and symbol of unity of the ancient Greek world.
Arachova
Arachova village is a picturesque mountain town located on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, just a short drive from Delphi. Known for its traditional stone houses, cobbled streets, and stunning views of the surrounding mountains, Arachova is a popular destination for winter sports enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. The village is also known for its production of handmade textiles and rugs, as well as its delicious local cuisine and wine.
