Thermopylae Delphi tour

Martin_L, Oct 2023

Our driver Apostolos was wonderful My dream came true to stand on the ground of Thermopylae. Delphi museum Was outstanding to see the ancient items And stone statues

Thermopylae and Delphi rule!

RORY_D, Jul 2023

So nice! Delphi is incredibly interesting and great exercise. My wife loved it. I also enjoyed it, but the thrill for me was to go to Thermopylae. Hopefully everyone knows this, but it's a brief stop and the site of the battle doesn't really exist anymore. The sea has receded. But, if you read Gates of Fire (or for others, watched 300), it's a really exciting spot to quickly explore. After Delphi, we had lunch at a delicious spot recommended by our helpful and very nice driver Anthony. Try the Aubergine Imam It's delicious. Everything was good though. Very satisfied.

Perfect Day Trip

Ash_S, Oct 2022

This was an awesome day tour to Delphi and Thermopylae and Delphi! Our driver Antonio picked us up from our hotel and was very courteous, knowledgeable and an excellent and safe driver. The drive from Athens was very scenic and beautiful and Antonio was a wealth of information on everything ranging from history to politics to culture and food Delphi is a must visit for history buffs and the museum is simply awesome. The food at the recommended restaurant was amazing with spectacular views . Antonio also managed to make sure that we reached Thermopylae before the museum closed and that was definitely worth a visit for fan of 300. The personal attention on this trip felt like it was catered just for us. Perfect trip with the perfect driver Antonio !

A trip to remember

Doron_G, Aug 2022

Our driver (Takis) was amiable and informative. He picked us up from the hotel and drove directly to Thermopylae. I was with my nine years old son, and we both had a great time! No stress/rush. We had all the time we needed at every site. Before returning to Athens, we enjoyed a relaxed lunch at one of the many options at Arachova. The countryside is beautiful, and the sites are remarkable! If you love Greek history visiting Thermopylae and Delphi is something you should not skip.

Samantha_D, Jun 2022

We had a great day at Delphi and the surrounding area. Our guide/driver picked us up at our hotel in a clean and comfortable car. He was very professional and did an excellent job driving and parking. He had reservations ready for us at lunch and it was delicious. It was a stress-free day for our group because he was so prepared and knowledgeable.

Wonderful Trip to Delphi

rahuliyer4977, May 2022

Delphi, Thermopylae, and Arachova were just great. You gotta see Delphi. Also, our guide, Panos, recommended a great taverna in Delphi for lunch. Ask him about Taverna Vakhos in Delphi for lunch.
