Delphi is one of Greece’s most enchanting archaeological sites, perched on the slopes of Mount Parnassus with sweeping views over olive-filled valleys and the Gulf of Itea. Known in antiquity as the “Center of the World,” it was home to the famous Oracle, where pilgrims sought guidance from Apollo. Walking along the Sacred Way, you encounter the Temple of Apollo, the ancient theatre, the impressive stadium, and treasuries once filled with offerings from powerful city-states. The nearby museum houses exquisite artifacts, including the renowned Charioteer of Delphi. Mysterious, majestic, and breathtakingly scenic, Delphi offers a journey through myth, spirituality, and timeless beauty.

Arachova is a charming mountain town nestled on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, combining traditional beauty with a lively, modern spirit. Stone-built houses, narrow alleys, and cozy cafés create a warm alpine atmosphere, while the clock tower and picturesque square offer perfect spots for strolling and photos. Famous for its ski resort, Arachova becomes a vibrant winter destination, yet it remains equally enchanting in warmer months with fresh mountain air and stunning views. Local flavors—such as formaella cheese and handmade textiles—add to its unique character. Arachova is the perfect blend of elegance, nature, and Greek mountain tradition.
