The experience
The route leaves Athens with hotel pickup and heads to Delphi, where you'll spend the afternoon at the archaeological site and the museum. The Temple of Apollo anchors the ruins: its restored columns stand among the scattered stones of what was once the center of the classical Greek world. The museum holds the sculptures and artifacts that came from the site, and a guide walks you through both. Dinner and overnight accommodation in a 4-star hotel are included, so you settle in without arranging lodging yourself.
The second morning is yours to wander the village of Delphi at your own pace before the drive back to Athens. A professional English-speaking guide travels with the group throughout, and the vehicle is air-conditioned. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included for selected hotels in Athens. If your accommodation is not on the list, you'll need to arrange your own way to the meeting point.
Top questions
Can I be picked up at my hotel?
You can choose: pickup at your hotel, or go straight to the meeting point. When you book, you choose your hotel from 59 pickup locations; if yours isn’t listed, you can type in your address. Pickup is about 60 minutes before departure.
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Child (4 to 12 years); Infant (under 4): free.
What exactly is the Temple of Apollo and why is it at Delphi?
The Temple of Apollo is one of the most important sanctuaries in ancient Greece, built at Delphi because the site was believed to be the center of the earth and the universe in classical times. The restored columns you see today are what remain of a structure that stood for over a thousand years and drew pilgrims from across the Greek world.
Is there time to explore Delphi on my own, or is it all guided?
The entire second day in Delphi is free time. After the guided tour of the archaeological site and museum on day one, you have the morning of day two to walk through the village and surrounding area at your own pace before returning to Athens.
What meals are covered on this 2-day trip?
Dinner on the first night and breakfast on the second morning are included. Lunch is not included, so you'll arrange and pay for that meal yourself in the village or at a restaurant near the site.
Do I need to bring my passport or ID to visit the archaeological sites?
Children and students aged 5 to 12 must have a valid passport or ID to receive the discounted entrance price. Without it, you'll pay the full adult ticket price at the gate.
