Two Days Tour Delphi, Monastery & Thermopylae

Our next stop leads you at the Hosios Loukas Monastery located on a picturesque slope on the western foothills of mount Helikon. You will visit one of the most important monuments of Byzantine architecture & art which has been listed on UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites. In accordance to historical info, Hosios Loukas monastery was formed as a center for the renaissance of Orthodoxy but also as a shinning beacon for the hellenization of "heathen" people who had settled in Greece. We continue our private adventure with a stop/visit in the traditional village (and also a famous ski resort place) of Arachova, which is located at the foot of mount Parnassus & we end the first day of our tour with our arrival to Delphi. You will walk around this marvelous little town & after having a tasty dinner in a traditional Greek taverna you will spend your night in a charmy family run hotel.

Time for a traditional Greek lunch in the town of Delphi & our private tour continues with driving through the Mount Parnassus. We shall pass via traditional villages such as Gravia and Bralo (just outside of the village we shall have a short stop for admiring – and taking photos – the panoramic view of Maliakos Culf, the city of Lamia) & we finally reach in Thermopylae where the famous battle between the Greeks & the Persians took place in 480 B.C. You will admire the marvelous statue of King of Sparta, Leonidas who with 300 Spartans & 700 Thespians faced numerous Persian forces under the command of King Xerxes A’. It was there that Leonidas told to Xerxes the world famous phrase "Μολών Λαβέ (Molon Labe)" which means "Come & Get It". Finally you will visit the Centre of Historical Information of Thermopylae. Our two days adventure reaches to the end with our returning back to starting point. Contact us for further details & info.
