DELPHI & OLYMPIA TOUR: A Journey Through Ancient Wisdom and Sporting Excellence

Embark on a captivating two-day adventure, immersing yourself in the timeless wonders of Delphi and Olympia—two iconic sites that shaped the foundations of Western mentality and continue to influence the world today.

Day 1: Delphi – Seeking Wisdom at the Oracle: The journey begins with a scenic two-hour drive through the picturesque Greek countryside, adorned with fields, lakes, and majestic mountains. Nestled in the slopes of Mount Parnassus awaits Delphi, a sacred site dedicated to the god Apollo and his revered oracle. The Oracle, a temple where individuals and even entire cities sought counsel from the god through his priestess, held the key to important decisions.

Explore the sacred surroundings, including the treasuries where gifts were kept, the Castalia spring, and the theater and stadium where games in honor of Apollo took place. The museum adds depth to your experience, showcasing statues and treasures discovered at the site. Notable among them is Inioxos, a remarkable statue of a young boy, a testament to the artistic mastery of its creator. Conclude the day with a delightful meal before heading to Olympia for an overnight stay.

Day 2: Olympia – Celebrating Body and Spirit: At Olympia, trace the origins of the Olympic Games, initially a religious celebration and now a timeless tribute to the human body and spirit. Wander through historic buildings, witnessing the grandeur of the Temple of Zeus and its renowned statue. The Olympic Stadium, capable of accommodating 45,000 spectators, stands as a testament to ancient sporting excellence, accompanied by the buildings where athletes resided and practiced.

The museum at Olympia is a treasure trove, offering an immersive experience with its collection of statues and artifacts. Marvel at the intricacies of beautiful sculptures and delve into the philosophical underpinnings behind each masterpiece. Following your exploration, indulge in a traditional meal at a local restaurant, savoring the flavors of Greek cuisine.

As the day unfolds, bid farewell to Olympia and embark on a journey back to Athens, enriched by the wisdom of Delphi and the sporting legacy of Olympia. The DELPHI & OLYMPIA TOUR promises a profound encounter with the essence of ancient Greece.
