What to expect

Delve into the ancient treasures of Delphi and Thebes on this full-day tour. And both are just a short drive from Athens. You'll visit these well-preserved archaeological sites before an afternoon exploring the charming mountain villages of Levadia and Arachova.

First, we'll journey through the fertile plain of Beotia, crossing the town of Thebes, home of the mythical King Oedipus. Then it's on to Delphi, considered the centre of ancient world. Its prestige extended far beyond the boundaries of Hellenic civilisation. Tour the ruins of the Sanctuary of Apollo Pythios, set beautifully on the slopes of towering Mt Parnassus. There's also an option to include lunch here.

You'll also visit the Treasury of the Athenians and the Temple of Apollo as well as enjoy time in the museum. Here, you'll get to see masterpieces of ancient Greek sculpture such as the bronze Charioteer and the famous athlete Aghias. After lunch in the modern village of Delphi, we'll stop off at the quaint villages of Levadia and Arachova.

    Travelled as a couple


    The lunch never specified what it was, I couldn't find anywhere to contact and the guide didn't know either. Ove got a egg allergy and my partner dairy so we couldn't eat most of the food. The trip itself was good, the guide was helpful but most of the journey is the drive.

    Tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Wouldn’t describe it as a Thebes tour because we only half drove past it on a coach. Experience was slightly ruined because there were people who didn’t read it was a “walking tour” and that meant we had to slow down and therefore didn’t have time to get to the top of the Delphi archaeological site. Maybe needs more emphasis on how unsuitable it is for people with mobility issues so it’s not ruined for other people, I would have loved to get to the top.
