Delphi, Arachova & Hosios Loukas Full Day Private Tour
Description
Prepare yourselves to visit the "centre of the universe", or the "naval of the Earth". This is Delphi and it was the greatest Oracle of the antiquity. Walking through the “Sacred Way” that leads to the Temple of Apollo, you will pass by the treasury of the Athenians, where they used to host their valuable offerings in tribute to god Apollo. Continuing your way up to the slope of the mountain, you will see the Ancient Theatre and further above the stadium where the Pythian Games were hosted. Below these areas, are the temple of Athena Pronoia, the Gymnasium as well as the Castalia Spring. Your experience will be completed after visiting the archeological museum of Delphi and have lunch at a local restaurant. On the way back to Athens, you can spend some time at the picturesque town of Arachova and and visit the very well-preserved middle Byzantine period Monastery of Hosios Lucas, which is included on the UNESCO'S World Heritage List.

This tour was wonderful. George was our tour guide. He was on time, spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable about the history of Delphi and Hosiis Loukas. The lunch restaurant was fabulous great food n views. Would recommend a most see.
Thank you very much for reviewing the tour! We are pleased to hear you enjoyed our services. Looking forward to seeing you again in Greece! Best regards, Evangelos
We - me, my wife and my son - had a great experience visiting Athens for four days from 17th Dec’19-Reg. We had booked the local Athens tour, day trips to Argolis & Delphi including the Airport transfers with Premium Greek Tours thro their website. We were little sceptical, whether they would come and pick us up at the Airport on the day of arrival as they never asked for any advance payment from my side. But to our delight we saw Mr Evangelos, from Premium Greek Tours standing with a placard with my name, just outside the arrival hall, and it was a big relief. The next day we went to Argolis for a day trip, the next day to Delphi and the fourth day the local tour of Athens. Mr Evangelos is fully aware of Greek history and also mythology. He gave us lot of information about each of the site we were to visit and helped us to plan the four day of stay very well taking the weather conditions at different places and we had a real real great time. Everything was good about Mr Evangelos and the Premium greek tours. We definitely had the best price for a similar itinerary and the personal tour. We are really satisfied with the services of Mr Evangelos. The tour was just fantastic and thank you Mr Evangelos.
Dear Mr. Jagadish, Thank you very much for your very good review. It is very pleasant for us to see that our effort to offer high level services is being appreciated. We are looking forward to seeing you again and tour you around more beautiful places our country is offering to all of us! Kind regards, Evangelos Lalos
