Delphi – Women Travel Tours

• Visitors all over the world come to see and feel its unique atmosphere and energy as Delphi has been for centuries the most important political and religious centre of Greece and the whole Ancient World. So many things could be said about the history and the importance of this cultural place and it’s really worth spending time in the ruins of this great past.  

• But very few get to know the secrets of its more recent past that prove its timeless cultural value. We will love to show you the House of Delphic Festivals, where a very significant history of modern cultural Greek tradition was written. Also not very far away we can visit the Monastery of Hosios Loukas an astonishing sample of Byzantine architecture and art, listed on the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list. 

Delphi, Central Greece

• From your very first moment in Delphi, you will feel that you stand with one foot at the beautiful Mount Parnassos and with the other at the beach of the Corinthian Gulf. The combination of the grey and brown of the ancient rocks that embrace Delphi with the silver green of the olive trees and the sea blue of the Corinthian Gulf that pays tribute to the sacred place, will immediately capture your eyesight in a way that will mark your memory.

• You will also visit the cosmopolitan Arachova that skiers travel to every winter as well as the traditional Polydrosso and Eptalofo villages of Parnassos, where you can taste local wine and traditional dishes.  Here the past meets the present. Old stone houses and new lodges that respect the environment stand beside the rivers with small lovely waterfalls, under the shadow of firs and plane trees. The villagers are so hospitable, the tavernas and the little shops are full of local treats and tastes, like locally made honey, nutritious rusks, fruits and nuts.
