What To Expect
Thermopylae
Thermopylae, Thermopylae, Phthiotis Region, Central Greece Thermopylae is a place in Greece where a narrow coastal passage existed in antiquity. The Battle of Thermopylae was fought between an alliance of Greek city states led by King Leonidas of Sparta and the Persian Empire of Xerxes. The Gates of Fire: Deriving from the Hot sulphur Springs and in Greek mythology the cavernous entrances to Hades. The monument of King Leonidas: Erected in 1955 and created by the sculptor Vasos Falireas. The brass sculpture of the Spartan King with his spear and shield is truly amazing. Hotsprings: The baths of Thermopylae could be described as a paradise of healing spas. High end hydrotherapy facilities focusing on balneotherapy not only as a treatment for specific ailments, illnesses and injuries but also to promote general well-being. Of the 60 pending, 34 springs have officially been recognized so far. Gazing out at the now serene valley of Thermopylae, the landscape of Central Greece spread
Thermopylae Museum
Thermopylae Museum, Thermopylae Greece Thermopylae museum: The innovative museum is dedicated to the 480 BC battle that changed the course of Greek history and western civilization as we know it today. Duration: 30 minutes In antiquity, the pass at Thermopylae, between Mt Kallidromos and the Maliakos Gulf, was the only practical route for large armies to reach southern Greece and thus the site of many a skirmish. The most famous battle occurred in 480 BC, when 300 Spartans under King Leonidas, along with 700 Thespians, delayed the vast army of Xerxes in a legendary last stand, following the betrayal by Ephialtes, who showed the Persians how to outflank the Greek forces.

5.00Important to realize the original battle ground has changed significantly. The museum is good for history but requires a bit of imagination. Delphi is great. Don’t stop before you reach the stadium on top of- best views begin halfway up.

5.00What a wonderful tour! Clear and prompt hotel pickup with van. Our guide, Panos, reviewed the day prior to leaving Athens. The length of the trip was discussed. Options were given in regards to the length of time in the van and stops. I think there were only 2 items on viator listed itinerary we skipped on (thermopylae museum and getting in hot springs). Loved the open expectations. Panos made the tour for us! He was very knowledgeable about Greek history and all sites during the tour. He answered a lot of our questions regarding topics not covered on the tour as well! We were not rushed and lunch in Arachova was amazing. Delphi was a beautiful site (walk up to top took us about 30mins with taking photos and reading signs) and the monuments at thermopylae were very profound. We toured with a separate couple. It was agreed, Panos had given us the best history lesson, which ultimately made the tour for us!
NOT a private tour, even if the description says it is

3.00I want to start by saying our driver/guide Chris was amazing, and this review is not a reflection of our experience with him. We searched for a private tour, including both Delphi and Thermopylae. We booked in July, for our Sept trip. We chose this tour, because of the itinerary: 3 historical sites, 2 museums and hot springs. We booked under a listing describing a private experience including "Only your group will participate", "This Private tour offers the most personalized way to see the sights", etc. The day before the booking we received a text asking to change the start time from 9am to 8 (due to concerns of museums closing early on Sundays). We agreed, and met the driver the next day. When we walked outside to the van, we were surprised that others were in the vehicle, but didn't initially say anything because we've experienced pickups leading to tour facilities before dividing into our private tours elsewhere. After realizing that we were in fact NOT on a private tour, I messaged the company. I didn't receive a response until hours later after I WhatsApp messaged the person who asked to change our tour's start time the day before. Turns out, the other couple also booked a private tour and had also messaged the tour company before we had spoked to them about it out of the car. The representative attempted to gaslight me into saying I didn't actually book a private tour, that they didn't even offer them, and a private tour would be way more money. Luckily I had screenshots of the booking description, as well as reviews about previously booked private tours. We did get a refund, but didn't receive the experience we booked. We didn't even go to the Thermopylae Museum and felt we couldn't swim at the hot springs because the other couple had no interest in participating at all. TLDR: We booked a private tour, got a small group tour instead. Company was rude & argued about what I booked despite having screenshots of the booking saying private experience.

5.00We had a great day with Bill. He was very prompt and looked out for our every need throughout the day. We enjoyed the short film at Thermopylae but were disappointed with the hot springs. The itinerary description of the hot springs made it sound exquisite! But what we saw when we arrived was nothing like what we’d imagined. Bill helped us take some nice family pics there, and then we moved on. The rest of the day in the Delphi area was great! And the lunch where Bill took us was very good, with a beautiful view. We made a brief stop in Arachova, but there wasn’t much to see or do there. Since it was low season for them, it was very quiet. All in all, a day our family will not forget. Many thanks to Bill and Yomadic Tours!
Beautiful Greece

5.00This was a great way to see the country. The hike up to old Delphi was enlightening. We had an amazing lunch in Delphi over looking the valley.
