What To Expect

Arachova

Arachova is a historic mountain village located on the slopes of Mount Parnassus in Central Greece. Its origins date back to the Byzantine era, though it flourished during the Ottoman period as a refuge for Greeks resisting Ottoman rule. Known for its strategic location and natural defenses, Arachova played a significant role in the Greek War of Independence in the early 19th century. The village was a base for revolutionary fighters, and its people actively contributed to the struggle for freedom. Over time, Arachova developed a unique cultural identity, blending traditional architecture with rich customs, crafts, and festivals. Today, it is celebrated for its vibrant history, preserved heritage, and its role as a gateway to both ancient Delphi and Mount Parnassus, making it a symbol of Greek resilience and tradition.

Delphi

The archaeological site of Delphi, located on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, was one of the most important religious centers of ancient Greece. Dedicated to the god Apollo, it was believed to be the "navel of the world" (omphalos), where heaven and earth met. Delphi was home to the famous Oracle of Apollo, where the Pythia, a priestess, delivered prophecies that influenced major decisions across the Greek world. From the 8th century BCE to the 4th century CE, leaders and pilgrims came to seek guidance. The site includes the Temple of Apollo, a theater, a stadium, and treasuries built by city-states to honor the god. Delphi also hosted the Pythian Games, second in prestige only to the Olympics. Today, its ruins and breathtaking views offer a powerful connection to ancient spirituality, art, and politics, making it a must-visit symbol of classical heritage.
