  • Leonidas Monument

    Leonidas was a king of the Greek city-state of Sparta, and the 17th of the Agiad line, a dynasty which claimed descent from the mythological demigod Heracles and Cadmus. Leonidas was son of King Anaxandridas II. He succeeded his half-brother King Cleomenes I to the throne in 489 BC. Leonidas had a notable participation in the Second Persian War, where he led the allied Greek forces to a last stand at the Battle of Thermopylae (480 BC) while attempting to defend the pass from the invading Persian army; he died at the battle and entered myth as the leader of the 300 Spartans. While the Greeks lost this battle, they were able to expel the Persian invaders in the following year.

The circular temple, a tholos, shares the immediate site with other ancient foundations of the Temple of Athena Pronaia, all located less than a mile east of the main ruins at Delphi, in the modern Greek regional unit of Phocis. The tholos is part of the Delphi UNESCO World Heritage Site.

  • Delphi Archaeological Museum

    Delphi Archaeological Museum is one of the principal museums of Greece and one of the most visited. It is operated by the Greek Ministry of Culture. Founded in 1903, it has been rearranged several times and houses the discoveries made at the Panhellenic sanctuary of Delphi, which dates from the Late Helladic (Mycenean) period to the early Byzantine era. Organized in fourteen rooms on two levels, the museum mainly displays statues, including the famous Charioteer of Delphi, architectural elements, like the frieze of the Siphnian Treasury, and ex-votos dedicated to the sanctuary of Pythian Apollo, like the Sphinx of Naxos.

    1 hour

  • Temple of Apollo

    The Temple of Apollo, god of music, harmony, light, healing, and oracles occupied the most important and prominent position in the Delphic Panhellenic Sanctuary. The edifice with the partially restored colonnade visible today dates to the 20th century BC and, according to ancient accounts, five different temples were built throughout history. The famous oracle, the Pythia, operated inside the temple, the location chosen, according to one tradition, due to a sacred chasm beneath the site emitting vapors, which were inhaled by the Pythia.

Chris is amazing!

Published on Jan, 2025

Our driver and guide, Chris, was absolutely incredible! He was highly communicative and kept us well-informed about Greek mythology throughout the journey to the site. Chris went above and beyond to keep us entertained—he even made a stop at the hot spring and treated us to some freshly picked local fruits. The lunch spot he chose was fantastic too. Everything about this trip was seamless and enjoyable!

Alex was great

Published on Dec, 2024

Alex provided excellent service in all aspects of the tour. He provided topical insight and informative dialogue. Alex arranged an excellent table for lunch in a great restaurant in Delphi. The food and drink were the very good and the view was very impressive at a reasonable cost. I highly recommend Alex and LS Tours and Transfers. We had a great time!
