Why choose this Athens tour ?
A private tour combining Delphi and Arachova blends ancient history, mythological significance, and natural beauty with a rich local culture and traditional Greek charm.
Delphi is one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece and the ancient world. As the home of the Oracle of Apollo, it was once considered the center of the world, where people from all corners of Greece and beyond would come to seek the god’s wisdom. Touring Delphi gives visitors a rare chance to step into a sacred space where ancient rituals, prophecies, and mythical stories come to life.
Key highlights like the Temple of Apollo, the Theatre, the Stadium, and the Ancient Sacred Way showcase Delphi’s significance as a cultural and religious hub.
Arachova, on the other hand, offers a more intimate experience, as it is a living village that has maintained its traditions over the centuries. Its Byzantine and Ottoman influences, along with local legends, provide a deep sense of the area’s historical continuity.
