Once in Delphi, explore the sacred Castalia Spring, the archaeological site, and landmarks such as the Monument of the Argive Kings, the Treasury of the Athenians, the Athenian Stoa, the Polygonal Wall, the Monument of Plataea, and the Temple of Apollo. Marvel at spectacular artifacts including the frieze of the Treasury of the Siphnians, the Naxian Sphinx, the Statue of Antinous, the metopes of the Athenian Treasury, and the renowned bronze Charioteer, originally crafted to commemorate a victory in the 476 B.C. Pythian Games. Next, visit the charming village of Arachova, perched at 1,000 meters above sea level. This traditional yet cosmopolitan village is a popular winter resort and offers a vibrant local market with handmade pastries, cheese, spices, and other regional products. Finally, discover the Byzantine Monastery of Hosios Loukas, one of the most significant monuments of Middle Byzantine architecture and art, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
