Delphi Trip with Corykeion Cave Hike
placeholder
Overview
placeholder
Duration: 
12 ½ Hours

Your excursion will start early in the morning with us picking you up from your accommodation.

After a 2.5 hour drive we will arrive to the starting point of the trail to Corikeion cave. With your experienced mountain guide, you will hike up the cobbled trail ‘ Skala ’ which winds around the town of Delphi through a small ravine to the summer camp settlement of ‘ Kroki ’ where you will quench your thirst at the traditional drinking water fountain before moving on.

The trail continues through the pine covered foothills of Mount Parnassus, the home of poetry, literature and learning, to enter the cave of Korikion Andron. This cave was dedicated to Apollo and his nine muses who lived there and gave artists and thinkers creative inspiration.

Your driver will be waiting there for you to drive you back down the mountain, to a well-deserved lunch to a traditional local tavern offering regional goodies.

In the afternoon, you will visit the Archaeological site and museum of Delphi, to enjoy a guided tour there.
