We were shown around by a local guide as part of our Greece tour. Although you'd be impressed by what you saw if you went by yourself I think we got more out of it with a guide - or maybe take a good guide book, there's so much to see and understand at this site. If you're feeling energetic there's a walk right up to the stadium at the top, it is worth it.

Do you want to learn everything about this extraordinary insect that we call "bee"? Visit our site, book a visit and we 'll get you to one of our apiaries, dress you as a beekeeper and show you how the bee's life is like. (Book at our website Mar-Oct, only through appointment).

20 minutes from Delphi, on the edge of a HUGE valley of olive trees and wild thyme, there is a wonderful place called Moka Honey. The mission of the two amazing men that run this apiary is to educate and bring awareness to the importance of bees in our world. We learned so much more than we could have imagined! This was a highlight of our trip to Greece and I highly recommend this experience to ANYONE visiting the region. The only cost was 8 euro per adult, which buys you a jar of some of the most delicious, raw honey you will ever eat. You will want to take home as much of this wonderful honey as you can! Please, do yourself a favor and put this on your list. What an unexpected and unforgettable experience. ❤️????
3. Mount Parnassus

A beautiful mountain offering scenic views of the surrounding olive groves and countryside.
Reviewed By rcblanc - Tampa, United States
The only word that can describe the view from on top the mountain side is breathtaking. The climb was a pull for me but I stopped at every platform to catch my breath and made it to the top. There is a stadium at the top that was used before the Olympic games was founded in Olympia. You get a sense of the amount of people in ancient times that walked where I was walking. The climb to the top is very much worth the effort.

A museum containing some of the sculptures and artifacts excavated from the Oracle.
Reviewed By Scouter710 - Bowling Green, United States
From the famous charioteer to artifcatcs dating back to 1600 BC covering the Mycenaean period, classical and Hellenistic periods, this museum has priceless exhibits that rival those we saw in the National Archaeological Museum. If you are at Delphi, this is a must see … and you can walk through and see the exhibits in about an hour.
5. Temple of Apollo

This ancient Greek temple is most famous for the oracle it contains, where pilgrims from all over the ancient world would come to have their fortunes told.
Reviewed By jimsZ2896HZ
Ruins set on an ancient, winding hillside road that led through Delphi. Doric columns and the foundation are about all that remain -- but the evocative setting is what you come to historic Greece to see. Stunning views. And you're in the middle of a great collection of ancient ruins up and down the hillside (theater, stadium, temples). Superb.
6. Xiliadou Beach
7. Maritime Museum & Archaeological Collection of Galaxidi

This museum in Galaxidi is amazingly professional for such a small town. Our visit to the museum punctuated our 3-day stay in Galaxidi, bringing the city's past to life and added a richness to our experience. The presentation spans local archeological finds with a compelling telling of the story of the town's history as a pre-eminent maritime center in Greece. It was fun walking around the docks in this quaint port town after our visit imagining what it must have been like in the age of the tall sailing ships.

Perched on the edge of a steep ravine, this entrance temple to the main shrine of Apollo is in a staggeringly beautiful location. Enough has been restored to give the viewer a feel for the place. Take lots of photos!

Reviewed By roure - Girona, Spain
I have travelled to food markets all over the world and feel the frustration of some of the stall holders when visitors like myself are not interested in buying, only asking questions. Here everyone was smiling and helpful and let me take lots of photos. I especially liked Epirus Tavern within it where we tasted the famous tripe and trotter soup. Delicious!

We got there by hop on hop off bus and returned by metro from the nearby station. There is a massive number of small shops selling everything imaginable at very reasonable prices. It is great for souvenirs. There are nice bars in the adjacent square.
