It was a complete treat to travel with Takis, our friendly driver, out from Athens to Thermopylae and on to Delphi, coming home via Arachova. This was a most relaxed way to experience these rich archeological sites with no rush and lots of much appreciated local advice and information along the way – including a delicious lunch recommendation with a spectacular view in Delphi itself. It was great to experience the juxtaposition of the sparse site of the Battle of Thermopylae with the vast number of ruins on the site at Delphi, and the drive out from Athens, between all the sites, and back into Athens was beautiful to experience as a passenger. The car was comfortable and the cold water was much appreciated. The drive through the UNESCO listed olive groves that surround Delphi as an unexpected highlight as well. Very grateful we were able to do this: it was a day to remember.

This trip is not to be missed! We enjoyed the ride to Delphi which passed by a very beautiful town. At Delphi, we witnessed a magnificent view of the entire place and a gorgeous mountain view. We enjoyed this visit way more than Acropolis. Many thanks to our driver guide, George who picked us up on time, provided us sufficient time for toilet breaks and recommended a nice family restaurant where we enjoyed the most delicious Greek meal.

A nice experience and a lovely day. We had Panos as our driver for the tour. He was the perfect driver, with extensive knowledge about Greek ancient history and mythology (which is also a Greek word ;)). Even though we spent a lot of time in the car, he made the conversations very educational and provided a wonderful perspective on his knowledge. We will always remember him as the new Oracle of Delphi. Also, Thermopylae and Delphi were really nice to see! For those interested in history a must do. The day ended with lunch with an astonishing view and an interesting ride back. Ask for Panos is the tip ;-)
