Take a day to explore the ancient oracle of Delphi, a sacred place for all of ancient Greece, and one dubbed 'the navel of the world'. Starting from Athens, we will take the scenic route through the plains of Beotia before arriving near the charming town of Delphi, where the ruins of the Oracle still stand to this day. Although the main site the Temple of Apollo, the famous sanctuary that housed the oracle which was consulted before every major war campaign, there are other points of interest scattered through the complex. Various treasuries, such as the ones built by the Athenians and the Sifnians exist in the site and were erected to host the offering of city-states around Greece. The Altar of the Chians, Stoa of the Athenians and Roman Agora are worth your attention, as is of course the Stadium which housed the Pythian Games. Finally, you can't help but admire in awe the Ancient Theater which offers a spectacular view of the valley below the site. 

After we leave the archaeological site, we will proceed to visit the Delphi Archaeological Museum, which is situated close by and is home to a cornucopia of exhibits discovered in the area. Important exhibits include the Cylix of Apollo, the Kouroi of Delphi and the Daedalic Figurine. However, undoubtedly the most famous one of all is the Charioteer, a bronze statue set up to commemorate the victories of Polyzalus of Gela. After we tour the museum we will have lunch in the town of Delphi and start our return to Athens. A quick stop to the picturesque village of Arachova will give you a chance to snap some beautiful pictures and even pick up some souvenirs for your friend back home.

There is no better way to experience the real side of Crete, than to traverse the island's unspoiled soil, swim in its crystal waters and stroll down its traditional villages. This hiking tour of the Samaria Gorge will give you the opportunity to do all 3 and in your own pace.

A National Park and World's Biosphere Reserve, the Samaria Gorge is a scar on the spine of Crete, but one so uniquely beautiful that you wish it never goes away. Extending 13 km long (8 miles), the ravine is home to several endemic species, with the most prominent being the goat Kri-kri, which can't be found anywhere else in the world.

Early in the morning, you will be picked up from designated spots around Chania via a luxurious bus and reach the starting point of your tour in Omalos Plateau around 7am. The panoramic view of the gorge from the plateau is a photophile's delight, so after short stop for pictures, you will begin descending the 600 wooden steps that will take you inside the Samaria gorge. Shadowed by the adjacent White Mountains and with plenty of drinking water to be found along the way in many natural springs, this self-paced hike will create unique memories for every traveler. Behind your group, there will always be a hiking escort to ensure everyone's safety and provide assistance if needed. 

During your hike, you are sure to come across the church of St. Nicolas, built on the ruins of an ancient temple. Just a bit down the road are the Iron Gates, the narrowest pass of the gorge, at only 4 meters (13 feet) width. The hike will conclude at Agia Roumeli, a beach at the end of the gorge, flowing to the Libyan Sea. Make sure you have some time left when you reach it, in order to take a swim in its warm Mediterranean waters.

At around 17:00 you will board a boat to the picturesque village of Sougia, where you will start your trip back to the place where you were picked up from.

In the morning, we will pick you up from your hotel in Athens or a nearby location and begin our tour in the heart of the city! With the help of expert guides you will visit the most important sites in Athens in the morning, starting with the Panathenaic Stadium, the only stadium in the world constructed entirely out of marble and home to the first modern Olympic Games! You will then proceed through the heart of Athens, passing by the former Royal Palace which has been converted to the Prime Minister's residence and see the Evzones guards in their traditional uniform. On your way to the historical Acropolis you will see important monuments such as the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Hadrian's Arch, the Parliament and the Tomb to the Unknown Soldier. You will marvel at the neoclassical architecture of the Academy of Athens, the University and the National Library which grants an elegant touch in the midst of the metropolis. The main course for this part of the tour can be none other than Acropolis itself, one of the world's most recognized buildings and a symbol of democracy! Your guide will take you to the Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion and of course the Parthenon where millennia oh history come to life right before your eyes! Speaking of history, a visit to the modern Acropolis Museum, with its nearly 4,000 exhibits of Hellenism -including the original Karyatides- will shed more light into the inner workings and customs of ancient Athens.

After lunch at a traditional tavern you will take the coastal road out of Athens, enjoying stunning views of the Saronic Gulf along the way, and drive will you reach the very edge of the Attican peninsula, Sounion. There stands the Temple of Poseidon, which served as an observatory for approaching enemies. Alongside the Acropolis and the Temple of Aphaia in Aegina, it formed a triangle that kept ancient Athenians safe and solidified the naval prowess of the city-state. The Temple also features prominently in various stories of Greek mythology, with perhaps the most well-known being the tragic death of Aegeus, father of Theseus, who hoisted himself into the sea once he saw his son's ship approach with a black sail on its mast, wrongfully indicating that Theseus had been killed. You will tour the grounds, get vital information on the Temple's history and enjoy indescribable views offered by the vantage point before returning to Athens via the same route.
