What to expect
Embark on an unforgettable guided day trip from Athens to Delphi, the navel of the ancient Greek world. Visit the Delphi Archeological Site and museum. See the Temple of Apollo, the Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia, and more. *Please note that the tour does not currently visit Athena Pronaia for safety reasons.
Later, enjoy some free time to explore a scenic village.

Later, visit the Archaeological Museum of Delphi (entry fees paid on site), which hosts globally known pieces of art like the Sphinx of Naxos, the Statue of Antinous, the Siphnian Treasury, and the Charioteer of Delphi.
After visiting Delphi archaeological site, hop back on the bus to visit a traditional Greek taverna (costs not included) on the mountainside. Take some free time to enjoy your lunch or appreciate the beautiful surroundings.
