We will feel the mystery in the Temple of Apollo where Pythia was seated on her tripod and delivered her prophecies.
Delphi was inhabited since Mycenaean times (14th – 11th century B.C.) by small settlements who were dedicated to the gigantic female, Mother Earth. The worship of Apollo as the god of light, harmony, and order was established between the 11th and 9th centuries. Slowly over the next five centuries the sanctuary grew in size and importance.

During the 8th c. B.C. Delphi became internationally known for the Oracular powers of Pythia – the priestess who sat on a tripod, inhaled the breath of the earth, and muttered incomprehensible words that foretold the future.

Arachova Village

We will continue to visit the traditional Greek village of Arachova known for its famous handmade carpets. On the slope of Parnassus at an altitude of 1000 metres is found the picturesque town of Arachova that during the last decade it has been transformed into a cosmopolitan centre of winter holidays.

It is from Arachova that we depart for an extra 35 kilometres to the skiing centres of Parnassus. The big altitude and the traditional architecture characterize Arachova as one of the most picturesque mountain villages of Greece. Then, passing through the cities of Levadia and Thieves we will return to Athens.

Afterwards we will drive back to your original pick up point.
