Experience the rich history and breathtaking landscapes of Greece on this full-day tour. Stand at the legendary battlefield of Thermopylae, where King Leonidas and his Spartans made their heroic stand, and continue to the sacred sanctuary of Delphi, once considered the center of the ancient world. This journey blends history, mythology, and culture, offering an unforgettable glimpse into Greece’s legendary past
Your driver will collect you from your hotel, apartment, or port in Athens in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, preparing you for a memorable journey into Greece’s ancient heart.
Arrive at the historic pass of Thermopylae, where in 480 BC Leonidas of Sparta and his 300 warriors made their legendary stand. Feel the weight of history in this dramatic mountain corridor.
Just a short walk from the monument, discover the steaming sulphur springs that gave the site its name. The natural “gates” once symbolised a doorway into the underworld in ancient myth.
Set on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, Delphi was regarded as the spiritual centre of the ancient world. Explore its sacred terraces featuring the Temple of Apollo, the Athenian Treasury, the ancient theatre and stadium—each monument tells a chapter of Greece’s mythic and cultural story.
Step into one of Greece’s most significant museums — home to iconic works such as the bronze Charioteer of Delphi and the Siphnian Treasury’s sculpted friezes. These treasures bring to life the artistic and religious power of the ancient sanctuary.
Just beyond the main site, visit the graceful circular Tholos in the Sanctuary of Athena. This distinctive structure honours the goddess of wisdom and protection and provides a peaceful moment amid the ancient ruins.
Take a break in the modern village of Delphi, perched on the slopes of Mount Parnassus. With its welcoming tavernas and panoramic views, it’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a traditional Greek meal.
On the return leg, make a brief stop in the charming mountain town of Arachova. Known for its stone houses, lively piazza, and local crafts, it offers a taste of traditional Greek mountain life and a chance for photos.
Return comfortably to your starting location—hotel, port or apartment—enjoying a smooth drive back to Athens.

We really loved our tour with Kostas! We booked this tour with our 3 young children and we all had a great time. The drive was comfortable, the stops in Thermopylae & Delphi were amazing and the traditional Greek lunch with a beautiful view was a perfect way to end our trip. Kostas is friendly and knowledgeable and we’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore outside of Athens. Efcharisto Kostas!
