Stop At: Delphi Greece

Visit Delphi archeological site, a UNESCO-recognized archeological site that’s among Greece’s most iconic places. In ancient times was a sacred precinct that served as the seat of Pythia, the major oracle who was consulted about important decisions throughout the ancient classical world.

The Temple of Apollo, god of music, harmony, light, healing, and oracles occupied the most important and prominent position in the Delphic Panhellenic Sanctuary. The edifice with the partially restored colonnade visible today dates to the 4th century BC; it is the third temple built at the same place. The famous oracle, the Pythia, operated inside the temple, the location chosen, according to one tradition, due to a sacred chasm beneath the site emitting vapors, which were inhaled by the Pythia. Some ancient writers state that the Pythia then entered a state of delirium and uttering inarticulate cries, which were then turned into equivocal oracles by the priests

The trip overall was great. The site lived up to it reputation. The driver was wonderful. He was skilled and we always felt save even in the chaos that is Athen's traffic. One of group had mobility issues and we was always willing to help any way possible. Both the trip and the driver were a very positive experience.

This was absolutely the right choice for us. We were looking for a private driver to take us to Delphi — and LS Tours delivered. Big shout out to George Remoundos for being not only an awesome driver, but also just a pleasant person – and accommodating. He was easy-going and didn’t make us feel at all rushed. I appreciated that. I also really appreciated how proud he was of his home and country. That’s always a big plus to my wife and I. I recommend this tour. You’ll be comfortable and taken care of. And holy wow the views are stunning. Plus, the lunch spot in the town of Delphi was incredible — the food and the view out the back patio.

Today we had a wonderfull trip to Delphi with our driver George Rem. The trip was very smooth and we felt very safe in the car. The casual chatting was very nice and maked the drive fly by. Delphi is amazing to visit with wonderfull sights. The museum is very nice with a lot of information about the site. The archaeological site is realy amazing. With as highlight the tempel of Apollo. After the visit George took us to a nice little restaurant in Delphi Town. The food was very good and not to expensive. The whole trip was very relaxed and never there was a rush to go to the next destination. You can realy take your time to see all the beauty of the archaeological sites and its surroundings. Thank you George for this amazing experience and safely driving us around! Greetings from, Hans and Danny

The day spent with Anastasios was great! We covered a lot of territory so we could visit so many sites, but it was worth it. We would never have been able to do it on our own. And, Anastasios's narration of the area and sights we visited helped make sense of it all. NB: Watching the BBC's "Why Delphi Matters" video in advance made our visit to the ruins and museum all the more rewarding.

We had a wonderful trip from Athens to Delphi with our driver Nikos. He gave us great history, drive safely and was very friendly. LS TOURS was worth the $ and Panos was a great communicator.
