Delphi Private Daytrip Tour
A Date with Destiny: The Oracle of Delphi!
Delphi, the mythical oracle of ancient Greece and UNESCO World Heritage site, is set amidst a formidable mountain landscape, where old rural traditions and forgotten crafts are still alive!
Delphi was not one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. But when it came to status and importance, few sites were as powerful as Delphi, an easy two and a half hour road trip from Athens. For a thousand years, people rich and poor, kings and peasants from across the Mediterranean and Asia Minor, visited and venerated the sanctuary of Apollo. Its oracle was the spiritual centre of their world.
After that, Arachova we be waiting for us. This rustic village, famed for its upscale boutiques and cheese shops, is a popular alpine escape for fashionable Athenians, with ski lifts and lodges nearby. Hikers wanting to explore the trails on this majestic mountain also use Arachova as their base.

Delphi Ancient Town
The ancient Greeks considered Delphi the centre of the world. According to mythological tradition, Zeus released four eagles from the four corners of the Earth, which was believed to be flat, and they met at Delphi, which was henceforth known as the navel of the world, or omphalos. Delphi was an ancient religious sanctuary dedicated to the Greek god Apollo. Developed in the 8th century B.C., the sanctuary was home to the Oracle of Delphiand the priestess Pythia, who was famed throughout the ancient world for divining the future and was consulted before all major undertakings.
