Description

Delphi is the most popular archaeological site in Greece, after the famous Acropolis. Join this 1-day hiking trip to explore this incredible place!

On the southern slope of Mt Parnassos (2457 m), one of the highest peaks in the country, lies the ancient sanctuary of Delphi, regarded as the centre of the world in ancient Greek mythology and home of Apollo's famous oracle.

In fact, the place is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with unique temples, terraces and buildings to explore.

Our trip will begin early in the morning in Athens. We'll drive to Parnassos National Park, traversing beautiful mountain sceneries and small traditional villages.

Once there, we'll hike for 2km to the Corycian cave, the first highlight of this trip. Then, we'll follow a trail covered with flowers and fir trees to Delphi.

Along the way, we'll enjoy beautiful views of Amfissa valley and its famous olive trees.

Then, you'll have some free time to explore the archaeological site of Delphi.

On our way back to Athens, we'll stop at the village of Arachova and admire its authentic local crafts.

Mountain Guide

I am a mountain guide of the Hellenic Federation of Mountaineering and Climbing (HFMC) and an IFMGA mountain guide. I live in Greece, a unique country with some of the least explored landscapes in Europe.

I discovered my passion for mountaineering when I was 17. What started as a hobby soon turned into an exciting profession that has taken me on many expeditions around the world over the last two decades. One of my biggest achievements was reaching the summit of Mt Everest in 2004, as the Deputy Leader of the first successful Greek expedition.

Besides, I studied Mass Media Communication and I'm a Film Director. Producing documentaries is another way of unfolding my love for nature and travel.

I really like designing new itineraries and taking clients off the beaten tracks, allowing them to enjoy authentic experiences in my country.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
