Tour overview

Ancient Olive Grove Hiking! A historical hike in the ancient trail connecting the port of ancient Kirra with the Oracle of Delphi.

We follow a downhill path and a rural road from Delphi to the edge ofย  Chrisso village. The ancient city of Crissa hosted the visitors of the oracle.
Following the footsteps of ancient pilgrims, we continue our tour in the heart of the famous Crisaean olive grove. It is listed by UNESCO as a unique landscape composed of more than 1,5 million olive trees. We will enjoy the unique scenery! Observe the silver-green foliage of the olive trees changing colors depending on the time of the day and admire the naturally carved trunks of impressive centennial trees. We enjoy a delicious olive snack in the shade of an old chapel and discover the taste of different sorts of olives. We will learn how olives are cultivated and why the olive tree is a worldwide symbol of immortality, wisdom and abundance.
