Unforgettable 4-Day hike around Delphi
lisayN2769RR,May 29, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We recently completed a self-guided 4-day hike from Eptalofos to Itea, staying in Arachova and Delphi, and it was the absolute highlight of our trip to Greece! From our first enquiries through to the end of the hike, Eleni, Giorgos and Hilda were friendly, helpful and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great experience. The communication was excellent and we always felt well looked after and safe while still enjoying the independence of a self-guided adventure. They shared local knowledge and recommendations for restaurants and places to visit, which was a really nice touch. The hiking itself was fantastic, taking us through beautiful mountain landscapes, cute villages and some remarkable historical areas. All of the accommodation was very comfortable. The logistics and transfers all worked seamlessly. A few words of advice for future travellers: - In the smaller towns in Greece, many restaurants don’t open until later in the evening, as locals tend to eat dinner quite late. It’s worth keeping this in mind when planning your days, particularly if you prefer an early night before the next day’s hike - Putting walking poles into our day packs at the last minute was the best decision we made, they really helped with the descent into Delphi, as well as during an encounter we had with some shepherd dogs We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would 100% recommend Trekking Parnassos to anyone looking for a well-organised and memorable walking holiday in Greece.

5.00I had difficulty in finding a local tour of Delphi because we drove there ourselves. My daughter found this one. It turned out to be a wonderful experience. The mountain was very pretty! The tour incorporated the natural beauty, ancient history and local culture all together. One of the best tours we ever had. Highly recommended!
A real moment of pleasure and discovery

5.00This hike on the ancient trail of Delphi enchanted us, thanks in particular to the thousand details, stories and anecdotes transmitted by our very friendly guide Hélène. The small snack at the end of the tour around local products was welcome! We would be happy to hike again in this area with this team.
Great experience

5.00This was an amazing, perfectly organized self-guided tour. Eleni, our contact, took care of everything and was co Stanton in touch. My wife and I were hiking on our own, but we alsways felt confident that Eleni and her team had our back. Even though it was barely in season, all the accommodations were welcoming and comfortable. Really, it could not have been better. We’re planning a 2-month trip to Greece on 2024, doing several Trekking Hellas self-guided tours back-to-back. Tip: Beleice them when they say to download and use their GPS tracks! Greek trails are not as well marked as those in, say, Switzerland. Eleni and Georgos provide perfect GPS files for every step of the way. Get an app, bring a spare battery for you phone, and use their data!

Tasting of olive oil and olives in an exceptional setting

5.00We had planned a hike on the heights of Delphi. But the weather didn’t lend itself (thunderstorm) , Eleni , our guide offered us instead a discovery tasting of olives and olive oil from the region. We had a very informative, tasteful and friendly time. Eleni also offered us to taste various feta, wine and tsipouro while explaining the culture of olive trees, the Greek way of life in a beautiful setting overlooking the olive sea and the Gulf of Corinth. A great time!!
Exceptional support for a new discovery of the surroundings of the Delphi site

5.00Very easy hike in an exceptional setting with an adorable guide who transmits his knowledge of trails, pastures and plants, makes us discover the site of Delphi from a different angle and the richness of its village (arachova elegant mountain village to discover). The picnic is delicious and the anecdotes about the Greek way of life, their culture and the area are exciting.
