      The sanctuary of Delphi, where the oracle of Apollo spoke, was the site of the omphalos, the 'navel of the world'. Blending harmoniously with the superb landscape and charged with sacred meaning, Delphi in the 6th century B.C. was indeed the religious center and symbol of unity of the ancient Greek world.

    2. Delphi Archaeological Museum

      The Archaeological Museum of Delphi, one of the most important in Greece, exhibits the history of the Delphic sanctuary, the site of the most famous ancient Greek oracle. Its rich collections are comprised primarily of architectural sculptures, statues, and minor objects donated to the sanctuary. The famous Charioteer belonged to a statuary complex of a chariot run by four horses and included a second male figure.

    We had a wonderful trip...

    We had a wonderful trip to Delphi with Nikos, our tour guide. He made the long trip enjoyable and even suggested restaurants to try for dinner when we were heading to Nafplio.

    Wonderful Experience with Eudaimonia Private Tours !

    We had a wonderful 2 days touring with Panayiotis and Eudaimonia Private Tours. The trip to Delphi was amazing and our guide was so fun and friendly. We had a great time visiting the sites and learning about Greek life and culture. We all highly recommend this company! Don't hesitate to book them while in Greece. Panayiotis treated us like family and we loved spending part of our vacation with him. On our second day, we were not able to take the ferry to Milos as planned due to a strike, so Eudaimonia Tours planned a spur of the moment second day for us in Nafplio ! We greatly appreciated their ability to turn a somewhat stressful situation into a second day of fun for us. Great people ! We definitely plan to visit again soon !

    Response from the operator: Elizabeth, thank you very much for taking the time to write the great review. We'll be happy to see you all again!

    Day trip to Delphi and Hosios Louis Monestary with lunch.

    It was a great experience. Panos was an amazing host and attentive to our needs. He made us feel very comfortable right away.

    Response from the operator: Thank you, John! Panos is good, isn't he? We are happy that you appreciate his effort to help you blend in and feel comfortable throughout the tours.

    Great day trip from Athens

    The best thing about doing a private tour is that you go at your own pace and don’t have to deal with crowds in buses. Panos, our guide and driver for the day, was exceptionally friendly and helpful. We learned a lot of things, not only about the places we visited, but also about Greece. The time flew by with interesting and fun conversation. We visited Delphi and Hosios Loukas, both incredibly beautiful and mystical places. Delphi was crowded but still an amazing archaeological site. On the other hand, we had the monastery for ourselves. Panos took us to a family run restaurant for a delicious lunch of Greek dishes we still had not encountered. We highly recommend this tour and company, it was truly a special and unforgettable day!

    Response from the operator: Great review, Jacob. I hope that all your group was happy with our services. Nikos

    Delphi

    We went with Eudaimonia company. Paros the driver was superb very easy- going and great sense of humor. Picked out a delicious lunch and had great bar/restaurant suggestions in Athens. This trip was a great value and worth the drive from Athens

    Response from the operator: OK, Frederick & friends ... You butchered Panayiotis (Panos) his name but you compensated with a great review :) Paros is one of our popular islands and maybe this is the reason for mispelling! However, Panos (Panayiotis) is also a very popular tour leader. Once again, thank you very much for taking this tour and your airport transfer with us. Eudaimonia means "happiness"!

    Private Delphi and Hosios Loukas Monastery - Great Lunch and Drinks Included: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.

    How much does Private Delphi and Hosios Loukas Monastery - Great Lunch and Drinks Included cost?

    +

    Prices start at $489 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Delphi and Hosios Loukas Monastery - Great Lunch and Drinks Included take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.

    Is Private Delphi and Hosios Loukas Monastery - Great Lunch and Drinks Included worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 37 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Delphi and Hosios Loukas Monastery - Great Lunch and Drinks Included?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Delphi and Hosios Loukas Monastery - Great Lunch and Drinks Included suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Delphi and Hosios Loukas Monastery - Great Lunch and Drinks Included?

    +

    Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Delphi and Hosios Loukas Monastery - Great Lunch and Drinks Included start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Athens?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis, Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Acropolis E-bike Tour With Entrance Tickets. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Athens?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Athens?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Private Delphi and Hosios Loukas Monastery - Great Lunch and Drinks Included?

    +

    Included: Bottled Water & In-car INFORMATION BOOKLET for all tour activities and sites; Brand new vehicles 2021-2023; Hotel pickup and drop-off; A HIGHLIGHT of this private tour; the authentic Greek lunch and drinks; and Both sites at Delphi (main site AND Athina Pronaia temple) and museum, plus Hosios Loukas.

    What languages is Private Delphi and Hosios Loukas Monastery - Great Lunch and Drinks Included offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Delphi and Hosios Loukas Monastery - Great Lunch and Drinks Included?

    +

    Is Private Delphi and Hosios Loukas Monastery - Great Lunch and Drinks Included wheelchair or stroller accessible?
