Last month I found a great travel agency to book a one day tour in Delphi. We started early in the morning from Athens Omonia, passed through Levadia and Arachova, where we made a stop for a while. This small town was full of coffee shops and stores selling their local products. Arachova is famous for the colorful carpets and handicrafts. As soon as we arrived in Delphi last minute. Apparently five days were many to see Athens and after we had seen all in 3 days of sightseeing, we thought why not go to Delphi? The sign of a t...

General: Peaceful place

I visited Delphi on a single day trip some months ago. We took a bus from the central bus station in Athens, but I also heard is very easy to get there from Patra, a city nearby Delphi, so you could probably add that to your travel, better than I did. The public cus leaves you in the village and then you take a taxi to t...

General: Delightful place

A delightful place to visit two nights is enough as in high season it becomes a little to cosy for me. It is quite easy to visit from Kefolonia, catch a ferry to Patras and then a bus to Delphi the journey is quite interesting, when returning it is advisable to catch a taxi back to Patras then you are sure to meet the ferry times. Ask at your hotel the night before to arrange the taxi back.

General: Interesting statues in the museum

I didn't like the site of Delphi too much. It seemed familiar to me after so many pictures of Delphi that I have seen. The view though was excellent and a bit terrifying for me (I am afraid of heights!). The museum though was great and very beautifully organized. I have seen many museums in the Greek islands, but I think the mainland has the best. They take more good care of them. The spinga wa...

General: Prefered the museum to actual site

Last weekend we went to Arachova and then drove to Delphi, which is about 30 minutes away. The site was not crowded at all. In fact, only a couple of families were there, so we were almost alone. I guess people doesn't like sightseeing in the winter :)) Anyway, the site was interesting, but being a Greek myself, I am used to ancient temples and ruined statues, so I was not that impressed. Howev...

General: Get a glimpse of ancient Greece

Delphi is said to be the centre of the world. When we visited the site last summer, we found some almost ruined temples and an interesting museum. I believe you have to be really in connection with the Greek history and culture to be touched by the site of Delphi. I was personally not truly touched, but rather I was curious about the findings and the remains of the ancient Greek civilization. T...

General: An impressive site with great view from up there

I visited Delphi two years ago, while we were traveling around Greece. We didn't spend the night in the nearby town, just went to visit the archaeological site and continued our trip to Patras. We first visited the museum, which hosted some interesting exhibits; my favorite one was Iniochos, I thought it was impressive. Then we went to the temple, which was situated up onto a hill; going there ...

General: Past would jump out of the ruins

Last September, I was backpacking with some friends along Greece. Among other places, we also visited Delphi. We took the bus from Patras and arrived after nearly three hours. We visited the Archaeological Museum, the Oracle and the Temple of Apollo. I remember the archaeological site was on a mountainous area and it was a very hot day! We had to walk up to the Oracle and when we reached the ar...

General: Unique experience

The drive from Rio/Antirio until Delphi was truley breathtaking. We left early in the morning to avoid traffic, this allowed us to see the beautiful colors in the sky as the sun was coming up behind the mountains. To our right we had the Gulf of Corinth and the mountains to our left. The scenery was beautiful as we passed through the small towns. we finally get to Galaxidi and have a cup of co...
