How we start our trip!
Our suggestion if possible is to start our tour at 08:00 am.
You will have the added benefit of visiting archaeological sites at different times from the large tour buses and groups of visitors, thus enabling you to experience the wonderful monuments and learn their history at a time of the day when they are not overcrowded.

At Delphi, we will visit Castalia spring, the ancient Sanctuary of Apollo, the Treasury of the Athenians, the ancient Stadium, the ancient Theatre, the unique bronze Charioteer, and the Museum.
Delphi is both an archaeological site and a modern town on the southwestern slope of Mount Parnassus in the valley of Phocis. In Greek mythology, it was the navel of the earth, the site of the Delphic Oracle and a major site for the worship of god Apollo after he slew the Python, a dragon who protected the navel of the earth.Apollo spoke through his oracle.
The priestess of the oracle known as the Pythia had to be an older woman and sat on a tripod seat over an opening in the earth.
Apollo
possessed Pythia and
she prophesied.
People consulted the
Delphic Oracle on
everything from
important matters of
public policy to
personal affairs.
The
Oracle exerted
considerable
influence throughout
the Greek world and
consulted before all
major events.
The ancient Stadium held the Python Games, which were one of the four
Pan-Hellenic Games held every four years.
The duration of the tour is approximately 9-10 hours.
