Full Description
Explore the ancient wonders of Delphi on a private guided tour with a PhD archaeologist, delving into one of Greece's most sacred and historically significant sites. Known as the navel of the world in antiquity, Delphi was the center of the ancient Greek world and home to the famous Oracle of Delphi, where priests and priestesses delivered prophecies believed to be inspired by Apollo.
Your tour begins with a visit to the Temple of Apollo, the most important structure in Delphi, where the Oracle once resided. Admire the monumental ruins and learn about the temple's role in Greek religion and politics. As you walk the Sacred Way, your guide will explain its significance and point out the Treasury of the Athenians, a stunning example of Greek architecture adorned with intricate sculptures.
Continue to the ancient theater, which offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and once hosted performances and religious festivals. Explore the stadium, where the Pythian Games, one of the major athletic festivals of ancient Greece, were held in honor of Apollo.
The tour also includes a visit to the Delphi Archaeological Museum, where you can marvel at treasures such as the Charioteer of Delphi and other remarkable artifacts. This private tour provides an in-depth and personal exploration of Delphi’s rich history and mythology.
