Ancient Footpath Delphi Hiking

A historic and inspiring hike that combines the magic of nature with the mystery of ancient temples!  We follow the ancient footpath, from the slopes of Mt Parnassos in a forested route to the village of Delphi. The same footpath that took Pan’s worshippers up from the ancient temples of Delphi to the Corycean Grotto to celebrate rites, which is now a part of the E4 european trail. We start at Livadi plateau at an altitude of 1200m. En route, we will stop for a picnic in a traditional sheep barn, near the cave of Pan. We continue our descend to Delphi sanctuary overlooking the olive trees valley and the Corinthian Gulf, whilst the mountains of the Peloponnese complete our picturesque scenery.

Highlights:

• Following the ancient Greeks steps and part of E4 European path
• Unique view on Delphi Ancient sanctuary, the Olive Grove, the Corinthian gulf
