About this experience

Travel with us to the famous Archaeological site of Delphi, which was characterized as the "Navel" not only of ancient Greece but also of the entire world. It is rightly designated by UNESCO as a "World Heritage Site".
An archaeological site that over the centuries, cultures and events have left their mark unchanged. Follow us on the route of the impressive landscape of Delphi, passing through the silvery-green olive grove of the capital of Phocis, Amfissa, to arrive at the seaside town of Itea for relaxation, in the wonderful area of the Miami Lounge beach bar, until our return to Athens. Here you can have lunch, drink and swim in the crystal clear waters of the Gulf of Corinth.

Detailed itinerary

On our route to Delphi which lasts about 3 hours, we will see the picturesque village of Arachova. The village is built in an amphitheatric way and it spreads magnificently to the south hillsides of Parnassus, at an altitude of 960 meters. The wild beauty combined with the unaltered traditional character place it rightfully at the top of Greek destinations.

Our first stop will be at the archaeological site of Delphi, the so-called “Omphalos” of the Earth, that is the navel or the center of the world, where the most important museum of antiquity is located, is one of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites.

Stop 3

In the archaeological museum of Delphi, you will among other things see the frieze of the Sifnian Treasury, the Naxian Sphinx, the Statue of Antinous, and the famous bronze Statue of Heniochus which are prominently displayed.

Our final destination is the excellent seaside town of Itea. We will visit the premises of the beach bar Miami, for food or drink and anyone who wishes can swim on the sandy beach that stretches in front of the beach bar. We will stay for 2 hours and depart for Athens which we will reach in about 3 hours.
This destination will be provided for the entire period when the weather allows swimming (until the end of October).
