Overview

A historic and inspiring hike, part of the E4 European trail! It makes its way down the slopes of Mt Parnassos leading to the village of Delphi. It is the ancient footpath that God Pan’s worshipers took from the ancient temples of Delphi to the Corycean Grotto to celebrate holy rites. Our hike starts on the Livadi plateau at an altitude of 1200 m. Following the ancient path through lush forests, we descend to the Delphi sanctuary! A magical spot overlooking the olive trees valley and the Corinthian Gulf with the imposing mountains of the Peloponnese as a backdrop.

This is a small group hiking tour with maximum 8 participants.

This is a hiking tour and no visit or guiding to the Archaeological Site is included.

Reviews

We spent the day following the ancient footpath down to the Temple of Apollo in Delphi. Our guide was fantastic! She knew the history, of course, but also shared local stories and information about the land and area. The hike was beautiful and the experience was well worth spending an extra day in the area. She even had a restaurant recommendation that was phenomenal!

Nous avons été accueillis et conduits par Eleni, francophone, réactive et très professionnelle. Hilda, notre guide pour 4 à 5 heures, est très sympa, intéressante et dynamique. En sa compagnie nous n'avons pas vu le temps passer lors de cette balade sur le chemin antique de Delphes. Nous avons passé un excellent moment.

I enjoyed everything about this tour- the drive up into the mountains, the views during the hike and the delicious tea and snacks that Hilda, our guide, prepared for us. Hilda’s knowledge about the mythology and current stories about the region made the tour even more memorable. This off the beaten track tour is totally worth it!!
