We didn't get to hike all the way up to Mt Parnassus, we only got as far as the Observatory because it was getting dark and had to head back. The hike is moderate difficulty, so if you're not in at least average shape, I wouldn't attempt it. No need to be an avid hiker though (one member in our... More

In the heat of the afternoon, we drove up to the ski area and had a car picnic. Stopped several times to admire the trees, wildflowers and the clouds coming over the crest of the mountains. Some great views. More

It is amazing to visit Arachova city, during the visit to delphi. It is just 15 min by car from Delphi. We stayed in delphi. beautiful city, nice people. It's really amazing experience. In Arachova, hostels are very expensive, so its better to stay in delphi, if you r running in budget. More

Go up to cave and return to cafe. Follow trails back to Delphi. Very atmospheric entry to Delph, passing stadium on left. Maps/ booklet can... More

We were there with my wife in the middle of October. A great site to visit, spectacular views. Requires some physical condition or time to ascende the steep mountain. A trip worth to take it. Skip Olympia, there is not much to see there. Instead head to Meteora. More
