A visit to Delphi is a wondrous event. It's a glimpse into some of the earliest developments in the Western world. The site is in a spectacular setting, and makes you awe at how people in those times trekked all the way there. It's fascinating to learn how the site evolved over the centuries, and the museum on-site does a... more

Hi, Just got back from Greece. Please be forewarned that the Delphi ruins had a rockslide a few weeks ago, and as of last week, 12 October, the main part of the ruins is closed to the public. We wasted an entire day on a 12 hour bus ride/tour with Chat Tours (who didn't bother to inform us!). We are... more

This review is of Key Tours but from speaking to others it applies to all of the tour companies that go from Athens to Delphi. I would recommend skipping all of them and renting a car (with GPS) instead. The short version is this. We left at 8AM, returned at 7PM, and only spent two hours at Delphi. That is... more

All though Delphi is located 176 km from Athens it's all worth it. PROS: - very, very interesting (exspecially if you have a guide I think) - nice surroundings (excellent view from the Stadium on top - must visit) - perfect for a one-day trip - Delphi is a nice village (with a lot of restaurants) CONS: - crowded (everywhere)... more

My wife and visited the Delphi Ruins as part of an escorted tour of Greece offered by Vantage Deluxe World Travel. The ruins are only a few miles from Delphi. It was a bit of a hike up the hill but with slow, steady walking, we were able to oversee the valley and the ruins. We were very impressed with... more

I went to Greece last year on my own. I spent a week in Athens and from there booked an overnight guided trip to Delphi, among other things. Our guide took us into the archaeological site of Ancient Delphi, explained some things and left us to wander with instructions to meet back at the Museum where she took us around.... more

Delphi and/or the Oracle at Delphi is an incredibly beautiful ancient site. The ancients called it the "navel" of the earth believing this was where earth was started. When you visit, you'll understand why. The site is on the side of a mountain so there is alot of uphill walking and stairs. Closer to the stadium at the top, the... more
