This trip will set off from Athens and through  passing basin of Boeotia will take you to Delphi, one of the most compelling and sensational sites on this planet. The evocative sceneries, the remote wilderness and the divine spirit of the Delphian landscape attest that Delphi deserves to be on your bucket list. The genuine colors and the perfect harmony of culture and nature lift in the fantasy world of the Olympian Gods.

The Delphic landscape is of an extraordinary natural beauty. The imposing mountain massifs, rising like castles observe the silver-colored olive groves of Amfissa. Just a glimpse away, over the olive groves, the blue hues of the Corinthian Gulf will stimulate your sensations. In Delphi Greek Mythology comes alive. You might even feel overwhelmed by hearing the echoing whispers of Pythias’s prophesy. Let yourselves enter mystical and divine ambience of the navel of the earth.

After visiting the museum you can have lunch either in the quaint and traditional village of Arahova, or in the town of Delphi, tasting some local dishes. After resting for a while we will commence our trip back to the city of Athens.
