Since all the tours we offer are private we have the flexibility to discuss with you any changes you wish to make in the itinerary.
During summer time because of the hot climate conditions in Greece we always suggest you to wear light clothes, bring with you a hat and sunscreen and make sure to wear non-slipper comfortable shoes due to the slippery terrain in the archaeological sites.
Also we always provide child seats or boosters whenever is needed with no extra cost. In case there are children between the passengers and you need a child seat we can provide it with no extra cost.

Our Delphi and Hosios Loukas Monastery tour starts by driving north on the national highway. We will exit the national highway and we will pass by the village of Leivadia. After 30min driving up to Mt. Parnassus we will have our first stop right outside of Arachova to capture a wonderful panoramic view of the village. After passing through the picturesque small streets of Arachova (famous for the carpets) we will arrive in Delphi.

We will first stop at the Temple of Athena Pronea and the Castalian Spring. Right after you will visit the archaeological site of Delphi and you will admire the Royal Thrones, the Athenian Treasury, the Roman Agora, the Theater, the Stadium and the Temple of Apollo where the priestess Pythia was giving her prophesies.

You will also visit the archaeological museum of Delphi and later you will relax and enjoy your lunch in a traditional Greek restaurant with an amazing view.

Continuing our Delphi and Hosios Loukas Monastery tour we will make a quick stop in Distomo where you will see the memorial that commemorates the massacre that took place there in 1944 by the Nazis.

Our final stop will be the Hosios Loukas Monastery which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is located in a very peaceful location. Our tour ends by driving you back to Athens and to the place we picked you up.
