Pick-up points:
Weekday vs weekends: Delphi is particularly crowded on weekends. Visit on weekdays for a more relaxed atmosphere.
Best time of the year: The summer months (June to August) attract the largest number of tourists at Delphi. It’s best to visit during the off-peak season in April, May, September, and October (spring and autumn). There are fewer tourists compared to the summer, and these months have better weather, with clear skies and warm days, ideal for exploring the open-air ruins.
Audio guides: Depending on the ticket type you choose, audio guides are included or available as an option with your Delphi tour.
Restrooms: There are no restrooms at the Delphi archaeological site but you can use the visitor restrooms are available at the Delphi Archaeological Museum.
On your Delphi tour, you’ll visit the Delphi archaeological site to explore the ruins and the Delphi Archaeological Museum, where you’ll be able to see the artifacts from the site on display. Depending on the ticket option you choose, you’ll also get to visit the nearby village of Arachova.
Yes, day trips from Athens to Delphi are available throughout the year. However, since the timings for the Delphi archaeological site and museum vary depending on the season, you may not be able to visit certain attractions. For example, your Delphi tour won’t cover the Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia between November 1 and March 31.
We recommend booking your Delphi tours at least a week in advance. They tend to be quite popular, and if you leave it too late, you might not get tickets for the date and time of your choice.
The itineraries of these tours are typically fixed, but they are quite comprehensive and cover all the local attractions.
You will have some free time during the stop at Arachova to explore the town and see its attractions.
