Itinerary

Day 1

Journey through Levadia and Arachova, renowned for its vibrant, multicolored carpets, before reaching the enchanting destination of Delphi.

Nestled at the base of Mount Parnassos, between the imposing Phaedriades rocks, lies the Pan-Hellenic sanctuary of Delphi, home to the renowned Oracle of ancient Greece. Delphi held a revered status as the center of the world, with mythological significance as the meeting point of two eagles dispatched by Zeus in their quest for the world's navel. This sanctuary, situated in a breathtaking landscape, served as a cultural and religious hub, symbolizing unity for the Hellenic world. It was also the venue for the Pythian Games, the second-most important games in Greece after the Olympics, held every four years.


During the golden era between the sixth and fourth centuries BC, the Delphic Oracle, conveyed by the priestess Pythia and interpreted by Apollo's priests, reached its zenith. Cities, rulers, and common individuals sought guidance from the oracle, expressing their gratitude through grand offerings and spreading its renown globally. The oracle, believed to have existed since time immemorial, successfully predicted events tied to Deukalion's cataclysm, the Argonauts' expedition, and the Trojan War.


Explore the archaeological site and Museum, home to a wealth of treasures. Notably, the museum houses the unparalleled bronze statue of the Charioteer, a gift from Polyzalos, the tyrant of Gela, in 478 B.C. The statue commemorates his victory in the Pythian Games' chariot race and stands as an exemplary masterpiece in the distinctive "severe" Attic style, attributed to a prominent artist of the time.

Incredible Trip!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Anthony & his entire team from the very start of our planning our vacation to Greece all the way through of traveling back home to Chicago. Anthony & his team ensured our entire trip was seamless. We started in Athens for 24 hours, then to Mykonos for 4 days and then Santorini for 4 days. The planning & attention to detail made the whole trip one of the best travel experiences of our life. Anthony & his team were referred to us by a couple of other friends who had also worked with them for their vacations to Greece over the past few years & we will continue referring Anthony to anyone we know who is traveling to Greece because of our incredible experience!

Fantastic, beautifully organized trip to Greece

Anthony with Antelope was simply fantastic. He started by understanding the kind of vacation we wanted and then put together an itinerary that was just perfect for our needs. He was extremely responsive and worked hard to ensure that everything went off without a hitch. From the sunset Catamaran cruise and the excellent food tour with Dino in Santorini to the 3-day classical tour through mainland Greece and walking tour of Athens, every detail was well-planned and exceeded our expectations. Thank you for such a fantastic vacation! I would recommend Anthony and Antelope travel without hesitation.
