A full day tour to Delphi begins by going north, driving through the countryside on the way to Thebes with its acres of cotton fields. According to Greek mythology this is where the famous mythological hero Hercules was born. The next stop of our tour is the spring of Krias in Levadia.
Here is where the
mysterious oracle, Trophonious performed.
We drive on and take a
break for a snack………traditional yogurt with honey and homemade tiropita
(cheese pie) will hit the spot in Zemeno before we reach Arahova. The
scenic village of Arahova, nestled on the mountainside, is famous
for it's handmade carpets and rugs. Lately it has become an ideal destination for winter vacationers
who enjoy snow skiing.

After
Arahova we will arrive in Delphi. Ancient Delphi once was believed to be
the center of the universe. There you will meet ancient Greece by visiting
the Sanctuary of Apollo Pythios and the Museum, Castalia Spring and the
Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia. Delphi is not our last stop. On our way back
home, we will enjoy a great meal at a typical taverna. Return to
Athens in the evening. |
