We start our tour in the morning from Athens. The travel time to reach our destinations is about 2.5 hours.

Mount Parnassus is a mountain range located in central Greece, near the Gulf of Corinth. It is known for its natural beauty and for its association with Greek mythology, particularly the god Apollo and the Muses. The mountain is home to the Delphi Sanctuary, an important religious and cultural center in ancient Greece, where the Oracle of Delphi was located, which was considered to be the center of the world. The slopes of Mount Parnassus were also home to several ancient Greek cities, including Delphi, Krisa and Kirra.

The Temple of Apollo at Delphi was an important religious site in ancient Greece, dedicated to the god Apollo. The temple was considered to be the center of the world and was visited by people from all over the ancient Greek world to consult the Oracle of Delphi. The original temple was built in the 7th century BCE, but was destroyed by fire and rebuilt several times over the centuries. The temple complex included the temple itself, as well as other structures such as the Treasury of the Athenians and the Stoa of the Athenians. The temple was destroyed by the Romans in the 4th century CE, but many of its ruins remain and can still be seen at the Delphi archaeological site today.

The Delphi Archaeological Museum is located in Delphi and houses a collection of artifacts from the ancient city of Delphi, which was an important religious and cultural center in ancient Greece.
