Delphi Surounding Villages

Departing from Athens your first stop will be at the town of Thebes, famous in Greek mythology and for its role in famous stories such as the tragedy of King Oedipus. You will also stop in the lively town of Levadia. Enjoy the lovely white houses in the upper part of the town, complete with authentic wooden balconies dating back hundreds of years.

Your next stop will be the mountain village of Arachova, located on the slopes of Parnassus at a height of over 3,000 feet! Wander through the narrow streets, lined with taverns and workshops. Taste the local specialty, formaela, a type of soft fried cheese. Arachova is also famous for their handmade carpets, sold in all sorts of wonderful bright colors.

Your last stop will be Ancient Delphi believed to be the center of the earth. Back To Athens
