Early in the morning you leave Athens. You travel westwards and slightly to the north and through the plain of Thebe; on the spot of the legendary ancient town. Before leaving the region of Boeotia, you will have the opportunity to visit the Byzantine Monastery of Osios Loukas, with its magnificent golden mosaics. You continue further and you reach Delphi, where you will get guided in this unique place. Via the Sacred Way, passing by the treasures of different city-states, you ascent to Apollo’s temple, the theatre and the stadium, where the Pythian Games took place. You will visit the treasury of the Athenians and the sanctuary of Athena Pronea. The archaeological museum includes the famous Bronze Charioteer (Iniochos) of Delfi, sculptures from the treasure of Siphnos, two colossal “kouros” from Argos and the remains of three gold and ivory statues.
