Visit Delphi & Thermopylae

Welcome to an unforgettable journey through the ancient wonders of Delphi and the historic battlegrounds of Thermopylae! Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Greek history as we explore the mystical sanctuary of Delphi, once considered the center of the world by the ancient Greeks. Traverse the sacred ruins, feel the whispers of the Oracle, and behold the breathtaking landscapes that have inspired poets and philosophers for centuries.

Our first destination is the legendary site of Thermopylae, a place steeped in the echoes of ancient heroism. 

Upon arrival, we invite you to step onto the hallowed grounds of Thermopylae, where warriors once stood against the tide of history. Take your time to absorb the profound significance of this site, as the wind whispers stories of valor and sacrifice. A 25-minute pause allows you to explore the nuances of the Thermopylae Museum, a treasure trove of artifacts that unveils the secrets of this strategic pass.

With hearts stirred by the tales of Thermopylae, our journey continues towards the ancient town of Delphi, nestled in the Phocis Region. The road unfolds before us, revealing a landscape steeped in myth and legend.

As we traverse through the enchanting town of Delphi, you’ll be transported to an era when this place was deemed the center of the ancient world. The Delphi Archaeological Museum awaits your exploration, showcasing artifacts that bear witness to the cultural richness of this sacred site. Stand in awe before the Temple of Apollo, where the Oracle once shared her enigmatic prophecies.

A short stroll leads us to the Tholos of Athena Pronaia, a hidden gem that adds a touch of mystery to our Delphi adventure. Here, the circular sanctuary invites contemplation, surrounded by the whispers of a bygone era.

Our journey then takes a charming detour to the picturesque town of Arachova in the Boeotia Region. Wander through its cobbled streets, soak in the traditional architecture, and perhaps savor local delicacies that add flavor to this mountainous retreat.

The scenic landscapes of Parnassos pass by, a fleeting moment that adds to the visual tapestry of our expedition. We pause briefly at the Leonidas Monument in Lamia, paying homage to the legendary king whose bravery echoes through the ages.

Revisiting the Battlefield of Thermopylae, our tour comes full circle. Take a moment to reflect on the profound history that unfolded on these grounds, honoring the legacy of those who stood against adversity.

As the day draws to a close, we promise you more than a tour; we offer an immersive experience that transcends time, leaving you with memories etched in the ancient tales of Delphi and Thermopylae.

We booked a transfer from Athens airport to Piraeus cruise port combined with a 1/2 day tour for August 22. Our driver Andreas monitored the flight and was aware that it was arriving 1 hour early. When the flight landed he messaged us via WhatsApp that he was already at the airport and waiting just outside customs. The Mercedes sedan was spotlessly clean with the A/C set to our preference. The tour and transfer to the cruise port were exactly as described, customized to our request and priced as agreed. Andreas thoughtfully provided bottles of water and stopped for coffee as he knew we were on the red-eye flight. We were dropped off right at the entrance to each site, he knew exactly how long it would take us to tour the location and he was always waiting at the pickup location when promised. It was so convenient to leave our luggage in the sedan while touring the sites. Andreas is very professional, a skilled driver and also proud & knowledgeable of Athens history. It was a nice surprise on the last day of the cruise when he messaged us and offered to drive us back to the airport. You could not ask for better service than this.

We booked the transfer to the athens airport - our driver was super friendly and even called us in advance, that he'll be 3 minutes late. The car was very nice and he organized a childrens seat for our 3 year old son. We would highly recommend, booking this taxi.
